I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year

"This is an authoritative tale, which starts with then-President Donald Trump being briefed on the serious of the novel coronavirus in January 2020 and ends with a March 2021 interview at his Mar-a-Lago resort, where people avoid mentioning he used to be president. In between, the book meticulously documents a sad saga of “anguish and abject failure,” including a fumbled pandemic response, a lost election and a riot that penetrated the Capitol building. Some around Trump, including Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Mark Esper, are shown resisting his worst impulses (which leaves questions about if, or how, their input may have guided the narrative). Still, between Milley’s quotes comparing Trump’s election lies to the rise of Hitler and Trump’s embrace of the Jan. 6 rioters’ goals, readers get definitive documentation of a seriously dysfunctional presidency."
