Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly delivers her final political argument in support of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Released the day after her death on September 5, 2016, this book represents the culmination of her seven decades in Republican politics. Schlafly acknowledges that many conservatives find Trump puzzling or offensive, but she argues he deserves their support over establishment alternatives. Working with Ed Martin and Brett Decker, she presents Trump as more conservative than his critics believe. The book covers five key areas where Schlafly sees Trump's potential impact. Supreme Court appointments that could reshape the judiciary for generations. Immigration reform that goes beyond typical Republican proposals. An economic platform modeled after Reagan's successful 1980s policies. Protection of First Amendment rights against leftist opposition. A new approach to defense and foreign policy that could defeat terrorism. Schlafly positions Trump as the most controversial Republican candidate since Barry Goldwater, yet potentially the most conservative and effective president since Ronald Reagan.
