ReviewsA momentously thorough account of President Trump's alarmingly chaotic first year in office. . . . This precise and fiery indictment of an unstable, unethical president concludes with a call for us to defend our democracy., "Wolff's news-breaking and news-stretching bestseller has become the political book of the moment...But it is at best a snapshot, already blurred and dated...Fortunately, other authors and analysts are looking past the news alerts and war stories to examine President Trump's longer-term impact on the nation's norms and governance -- on American democracy itself... In "It's Even Worse Than You Think," journalist David Cay Johnston diagnoses the Trump administration as a "kakistocracy," or government by the least qualified and most venal among us.", It's Even Worse Than You Think shines a light on actions by the White House and Trump-appointed federal officials on climate change, job creation, taxes, race, immigration, and foreign affairs, among other topics, that should concern - and alarm - all Americans.

SynopsisSince he was elected, Donald Trump has diminished the presidency and taken the country backward. With his eyes-wide-open blind trust he has enriched himself and his family, turning the government into a kleptocracy. He has routinely taken credit for creating jobs that had nothing to do with him or his policies, but he's silent about real wages declining on his watch. Meanwhile, nests of political termites work at destroying the government from within. OSHA regulations that protected workplace safety are being dismantled. Trump's education secretary, Betsy DeVos, has chosen bankers over students and their families as she consistently reverses Obama-era policies on student loans. Even after Scott Pruitt's demise in this most ethically challenged, stock-the-swamp administration, the EPA continues to remove environmental protections at the risk of our health. And as Trump's inhumane immigration policies are universally denounced, he insists on building a border wall that US taxpayers will have to pay for. Yes, it's even worse than you think. Book jacket., From David Cay Johnston, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of the bestselling The Making of Donald Trump , comes his New York Times bestseller about how the Trump Administration's policies will affect our jobs, savings, taxes, and safety--completed revised and updated. New York Times bestselling author and longtime Trump observer David Cay Johnston shines a light on the political termites who have infested our government under the Trump administration, destroying it from within and compromising our jobs, safety, finances, and more. In It's Even Worse Than You Think , Johnston exposes shocking details about the Mexican border wall, and how American consumers will end up paying for it, if it ever gets built; climate change, and all about Scott Pruitt who spent much of his career trying to destroy the agency he now heads; stocking--not draining--the swamp, despite his promise to do the opposite, Trump has filled his cabinet with millionaires and billionaires; and the Kleptocracy, where Donald Jr. and Eric run an eyes-wide-open blind trust of Trump holdings to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest--but not the reality. With story after story, It's Even Worse Than You Think "diagnoses the Trump administration as a...government by the least qualified and most venal among us" ( The Washington Post ). This is "a momentously thorough account of President Trump's alarmingly chaotic first year in office...a precise and fiery indictment of an unstable, unethical president that concludes with a call for us to defend our democracy" ( Booklist ) and is "urgent, necessary reading" ( Kirkus Reviews ).
