Constantly trying to figure out what people were attracted to in Trump. This book does a really good job in explaining the gaslighting of America.

As with any other book I have read on Trump, I feel sad and disheartened that so many people can be so willingly blinded into following the "Pied Piper" and also behaving badly themselves. The book basically rehashes his upbringing which explains a lot. Most of what Trump has done in the past can be found anywhere but there is more detail in this retelling. But the most interesting parts are of the psychological analysis of his personality. To see it in print is eye opening. To me it validated my personal opinion that he has no redeeming value what so ever, him or his family. I can only assume they were raised in the same fashion which is not admirable. This book made me start to wonder and really fearful, will we recognize these traits the next time we have someone running for office? I sincerely hope so.
