Synopsis
With the threat of calling out the United States military to "dominate" US citizens in peaceful protest, Donald Trump has shown America his true autocratic tendencies and desire to rule this nation with an iron fist. For all those concerned with the safeguarding of our democracy you should read this book.
"Trump: The Chosen One" explores the seduction of the Christian Right by Donald Trump preying on fears and prejudices to create false narratives and controversies, promoting an agenda of division, obfuscation and misdirection within our nation. This book shreds the moral and ethical reasoning of that large part of the Christian Right's unwavering support for a president whose actions show disdain for moral standards. We explore the danger of allowing a fanatical religious ideology to weave its way into the fabric of our political system, threatening out democracy. We draw a connection through: the hypocrisy of the religious right. Income and wealth inequality, foreign policy, climate change and the systematic dismantling of political, judicial and governmental institutions. We rely on a foundational American principle to frame the first three years of the Trump administration to reveal how this president's stance on global warming and steadfast support for fossil fuels places him in lockstep with Vladimir Putin and other tyrannical leaders. This book questions Trump's appeal to people of faith who should be alarmed at the president' lack of a moral compass; as well as civic-minded republicans who no longer recognize today's GOP; It is an alarm to all those who are concerned with the preservation of our democracy who are concerned with: our environment, the relationship between faith and politics, Constitutional history, economic and tax policy.
Synopsis
With his threat to use military action to "dominate" U.S. citizens engaging in overwhelmingly peaceful protests, Donald Trump has shown America his true autocratic tendencies and desire to rule this nation with an iron fist. Trump: The Chosen One. Road to Perdition explores his seduction of the Christian Right with the promise of conservative pro-life Supreme Court nominees. It reveals his willingness to give tacit approval of the hatred and bigotry promoted by white supremacists and the alt-right movement that support him, and his use of fear mongering of immigrants to further the practice of divisive politics to drive a wedge between Americans, to aid in his reelection efforts.
Trump: The Chosen One. Road to Perdition chronicles the abysmal governance under Donald Trump -- characterized by greed, corruption, hypocrisy, racism, sexism, homophobia, misogyny, and attacks on a free press and the rule of law. The book explores the incompetence and inadequacies of Trump and his administration to handle the coronavirus as well as the failures of both our foreign and domestic policies including the destruction of vital government institutions, the intelligence community, and our Justice Department.
The authors conclude that there are three plausible explanations for Trump's behavior, any one of which would provide reasons enough to vote him out of office. What might appear to be inexplicable, nonsensical behavior may actually be strategic, and lead to events that endanger our democracy while benefitting Vladimir Putin, Russia and ultimately Trump himself. The authors call for Americans to shed their indifference, take back our country, and instill a moral compass lest we succumb to tyranny.
