Front Row at the Trump Show

Generally, books about a living president tend to come out right after they leave office, though with the current president many books are coming out about his administration and style while he is still in office with more and more of them being written by journalists. This book is by ABC News Chief White House correspondent and the times that he has interviewed sometimes successfully, sometimes not, over the past twenty-plus years. Pretty much things are different from the current president than in the past, often knee jerk reactions, off the cuff remarks and denial of things that were said, even after proof of them is delivered. Jonathan Karl’s main focus of the book is the election up through mid-2018 right around when Senator John McCain passed away. A good portion of the book focuses on people who worked under Trump, such as press secretaries, Twitter feeds, Chiefs of Staff, and the revolving door that is often the West Wing with people coming and going. Depending on how you feel about Trump will color your view of the book.
