Horsemen of the Trumpocalypse A field guide to the most dangerous people in America
Book - 2017
"A line-up of the dirty dealers and defenders of the indefensible who are definitely not "making America great again." Donald Trump has assembled a rogue's gallery of alt-right hatemongers, crony capitalists, immigrant bashers, and climate-change deniers to run the American government. To survive the next four years, we the people need to know whose hands are on the levers of power. And we need to know how to challenge their abuses. John Nichols, veteran political correspondent at the Nation, has been covering many of these deplorables for decades. Sticking to the hard facts and unafraid to dig deep into the histories and ideologies of the people who make up Trump's inner circle, Nichols delivers a clear-eyed and co...mplete guide to this wrecking-crew administration"--Amazon.com.
