Review: It's Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration Is Doing to America

It's Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration Is Doing to America It's Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration Is Doing to America by David Cay Johnston
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Johnston obviously has it out for Trump and this is not his first tossing of an inkpot at that devil... His loathing lies so much on the surface, it may be hard for him to be taken objectively. Toss in wonk details about tax law and more and this is a mediocre listening experience among the many published attacks on Trump. Taking in this audiobook, none of which I have cause to dispute, it came to me that whether Trump is deluded or evil is rather beside the point. Even collusion with Russia is only an academic point when considering that it looks like some Russian hackers know more about the buttons to push for the electorate to draft a demagogue. That seems the real issue; a sheep-like voting body. Johnston goes right to that at the end; the very end for a few pages and suggests a more aware and alert and informed group of votes needed. But, how to get there?
