Everything Trump Touches Dies: A Republican Strategist Gets Real About the Worst President Ever by Rick WilsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
In this book, Rick Wilson takes a clear-eyed, passionate, merciless look at the current President and his sycophants. Right down the line, from Trump himself to his boosters and apologists from clueless Jared to crazed Alex Jones, Wilson takes dead aim and skewers them, exposing their incompetence, idiocy, and pretensions in the process.
This isn't, however, just a hit man conducting his work-a-day business. This is an author who believes in what conservatism has always been, and points out both the contrast with what it has become, and outlines the way back or the way to perdition.
I laughed out loud many times while reading this; it is both serious and genuinely funny. It's a pie in the face of the puffed-up and a steel pipe to the kneecaps of the dangerous, the bigoted and the fake. Very highly recommended.

ReplyDeleteGreat review as always, Shay. I don't have much sympathy with the goals of classic conservatism, but I can see how watching the current clown car progression in the repub party could break *anyone's* heart if they cared about its actual principals. Am waiting for my copy to arrive.
ReplyDeleteShay--Five stars? You rarely give that high of a rating. It's a high rating for a book on a low-life subject...
