It is an irony of our age that a man who rarely reads has unleashed an onslaught of books about his tenure and his time. Dissections of the white working class. Manifestos of political resistance. Works on identity, gender, and migration. Memoirs on race and protest. Revelations of White House mayhem. Warnings over the future of conservatism, progressivism, and of American democracy itself.

What more can you ask for? Mr. Lozada read 175 books and you get to pick up scores of pithy cocktail party tidbits in just one read. It's like an IV drip of Trump Info. On a broader, and somewhat more serious level... I got so vexed with Trump and the people who support him that I bought a stack of books on the subject. In what is here essentially a "meta study", Mr. Lozada is able sample many learned and diverse views, who all come to the same conclusion: Donald Trump is (at the end of the day) just a money grubbing white trash showoff who doesn't have an original idea in his bed-head comb-over head. Which, given the fact that we've made him President of our Country, makes him "the most dangerous man in History". (Thank you to Mary Trump for that pithy phrase) Of the varies books I've read on Trump the one that really sticks with me is (surprisingly) "Disloyal" by Michael Cohen. I was no fan of Michael Cohen and completely prepared to hate the book and throw it aside - but he has an very interesting personal story, is earnest and self examining of his relationship with Trump, is contrite and regretful of his many transgressions, and is a damn good old-style New York story teller. (e.g. "Donald Trump never prepares for anything - ever"!) I appreciate that economical style of writing. The big takeaway from "Disloyal" is that we're all overthinking Donald Trump. According to Cohen, it's always about the money. Trump is just a shallow vainglorious shell who judges his and everyone else's worth by their bank account. Putin is the wealthiest man in the world - so he's Trump's biggest hero. And on, and on...
