The Last American President: A Broken Man, a Corrupt Party, and a World on the Brink -- Thom Hartmann, Paperback
Trump didn't break American democracy--he revealed how broken it already was. In this urgent, deeply researched book, four-time Project Censored Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Thom Hartmann argues that Trump is a symptom, not the disease. The real story is the ecosystem that built him: a childhood defined by cruelty, a mentor who weaponized shamelessness, a political party that sold its principles for power, and a donor class that used him to dismantle the guardrails on their own greed. Inside, you'll find
- a psychological portrait of how Trump was made--not born;
- a clear-eyed account of how the Republican Party and billionaire networks enabled his rise;
- global comparisons to Hungary, Venezuela, and Weimar Germany--because this pattern has a name; and
- 7 proven, history-backed strategies for defeating authoritarianism before it becomes permanent.
