Lynn's List: Presidents Day Edition (February 17, 2020)

I thought it might be interesting to celebrate Presidents Day in a whole new way this year by putting together a list of books about the Trump presidency, the man, how we got here, and what we can do to make this his last Presidents Day in the White House. This is by no means an exhaustive list, and these books are in no particular order. What really surprised me is the number of them, and these are just the ones I know of.

People say that everyone wants to write a book to Bash Donald Trump because these books sell. But if you look at the number of prominent Americans who are expressing their concerns about Donald Trump and his henchman, the death of truth in America, the religious right and more, You quickly realize these are not all people with an ax to grind. And as much as the "right" want to dismiss them, they will not be dismissed. They have gone on the record.
