Description

PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS TRANSFORMED AMERICAN POLITICS AND GOVERNMENT MORE THAN ANYONE IN THE PAST CENTURY

Yet many forces and individuals have worked behind the scenes to block or slow-roll Trump’s reform agenda.

These include not only a frequently biased media and the bureaucratic Deep State, but sometimes staff from the President’s own campaigns and administrations as well.

Now John Ullyot provides a firsthand account of how that happens day-to-day, from the perspective of a Marine veteran who served in senior positions on Trump’s 2016 campaign and in both his terms as President.

In gripping detail, Ullyot traces the downward spiral of Secretaries from the two largest Cabinet departments—Pete Hegseth at Defense and David Shulkin at Veterans Affairs—who placed their own priorities above those of the President.

The voters who twice sent Donald Trump to the White House expect his aides to work loyally to advance America’s interests, not their own.

This book offers a road map on how to navigate and overcome obstacles to progress in present-day Washington—including those created at times by the President’s own team.
