"Joy Reid masterfully combines the immediacy of news reporting, the intimacy of memoir, and the sweep of a history book--from the anti-immigrant Know Nothing Party of the 1850s to Nelson Mandela's post-apartheid attempt at 'reconciliation.' The Man Who Sold America delivers a compelling account of how we got to Trumpism and what will happen next." -- Lawrence O'Donnell, host of MSNBC's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell "Passionate, smart, and breathtakingly original, The Man Who Sold America will explain Trump to readers for years to come." -- Michael Tomasky, contributing opinion writer, The New York Times; editor, Democracy: A Journal of Ideas; and author of If We Can Keep It: How the Republic Collapsed and How It Might Be Saved "The political analyst and host of AM Joy on MSNBC argues that President Trump's administration is characterized by grift and venality that demeans the office and diminishes America." -- New York Times Book Review, "New & Notable" "Passionate, well-intentioned and certain to draw approving nods. ... Imagines a path beyond our current divisions." -- Carlos Lozada, Washington Post "An impassioned exposé of Donald Trump. ... In fiery prose, Reid delivers a well-researched narrative. ... A searing indictment." -- Kirkus Reviews "A shrewd analyst of current political trends, Reid offers fierce scrutiny of Trump's controversial performance and fresh insights into his potential legacy." -- Booklist "Valuable. ... Reid does a fine job. ... Find[s] real wisdom." -- The Guardian, Joy Reid masterfully combines the immediacy of news reporting, the intimacy of memoir, and the sweep of a history book--from the anti-immigrant Know Nothing Party of the 1850s to Nelson Mandela's post-apartheid attempt at 'reconciliation.' The Man Who Sold America delivers a compelling account of how we got to Trumpism and what will happen next.

Synopsis
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER MSNBC'S Joy-Ann Reid calculates the true price of the Trump presidency and charts the road to Congress's impeachment investigation "The host of AM Joy on MSNBC argues that President Trump's administration is characterized by grift and venality that demeans the office and diminishes America." -- New York Times Book Review Is Donald Trump running the "longest con" in U.S. history? How did we get here? What will be left of America when he leaves office? Candidate Trump sold Americans a vision that was seemingly at odds with their country's founding principles. Now in office, he's put up a "for sale" sign--on the prestige of the presidency, on America's global stature, and on our national identity. At what cost have these deals come? Joy-Ann Reid's essential new book, The Man Who Sold America, delivers an urgent accounting of our national crisis from one of our foremost political commentators. Three years ago, Donald Trump pitched millions of voters on the idea that their country was broken, and that the rest of the world was playing us "for suckers." All we needed to fix this was Donald Trump, who rebranded prejudice as patriotism, presented diversity as our weakness, and promised that money really could make the world go 'round. Trump made the sale to enough Americans in three key swing states to win the Electoral College. As president, Trump's raft of self-dealing, scandal, and corruption has overwhelmed the national conversation. And with prosecutors bearing down on Trump and his family business, the web of criminality is circling closer to the Oval Office. All this while Trump seemingly makes his administration a pawn for the ultimate villain: an autocratic former KGB officer in Russia who found in the untutored and eager forty-fifth president the perfect "apprentice." What is the hidden impact of Trump, beyond the headlines? Through interviews with American and international thought leaders and in-depth analysis, Reid situates the Trump era within the context of modern history, examining the profound social changes that led us to this point. Providing new context and depth to our understanding, The Man Who Sold America reveals the causes and consequences of the Trump presidency and contends with the future that awaits us., THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER MSNBC'S Joy-Ann Reid calculates the true price of the Trump presidency and charts the road to Congress's impeachment investigation "The host of AM Joy on MSNBC argues that President Trump's administration is characterized by grift and venality that demeans the office and diminishes America." --New York Times Book Review Is Donald Trump running the "longest con" in U.S. history?

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.

  • Everyone should read this book, now not later.

    If you have ever wondered why Americans are losing the economy battle this book explains how it happened. We need to bring back unions in order to guarantee workers being paid a livable wage.
