Michael
Confidence Man by Maggie Haberman is a well-researched look at Donald Trump. It is an overall picture of Trump himself and not about his policies as such. While much of what is reported in the book was already known, Maggie Haberman puts everything together in such a way that I can see the big picture more easily.
The big picture takeaway is that Trump was always Trump. The way he was at the end of his first term (when the book ends) is the way he always was. He was always narcissistic and thin skinned. He was always more interested in money and power than the public good. He just had and has a bigger stage now and with a complacent Congress he probably has more power than any other president.
This book is well worth reading. It is a very depressing book about a man that no one is neutral about. I’m surprised I could get through it.
