Miles Taylor (3) (1987–)

Previously anonymous author now concludes that citizens NOT being anonymous bystanders, NOT self-censoring is key to not ending up with a "Next Trump" (does not mention DeSantis or any names, though uses MAGA a lot), and describes more of his journey through DHS and Trump experience to get to that position. Though his suggested protective "guardrails" are humanistic, the one sign of hope in this biographical "warning" is in the epilogue where he hints at moving to a spiritual solution, if not for leadership, at least for himself, and that, of course, is the answer. Book's just ok, for people who follow authoritarian tendencies, aggressive populism or Donald Trump. Not meaty enough for me, but am glad to have read it because I rejoice to see people being drawn to God, even if it was just one sentence, a good one at the end.… (plus d'informations)

The anonymous author of A Warning wrote on page 239 "He has always acted impulsively to serve his interests over those of the United States". A few pages later he or she said "The Trump administration is an unmitigated catastrophe and the responsibility rests entirely at his feet, the predictable outcome of assigning organizational leadership to a man of weak morals". Since this author is anonymous we don't know who he or she is, we also don't know if the author is or is not a White House staff member as is claimed. What seems believable is that there are Trump administration appointees who see how unhinged and immoral this President is. They have tried to control his worst instincts and many have been fired for it. Why don't they just quit. This author says that many stay because they see that when or if the leave their replacement will be worse. The anonymous author shows what we already know. Donald Trump is an immoral, self deluded criminal who is damaging not just our own country but the entire world. It would be a better book if Anonymous would have identified him/herself and cited solid evidence. Nonetheless what the book says is doubtlessly true. In the conclusion the author says the best result would be if Trump lost the 2020 election. Either to a Democrat or in the Republican primary. We should all do our best to see that one of these happens.… (plus d'informations)

I was given this book to read by a friend. I would not have read it otherwise because I did not think it would not give me any new information. Yet it was interesting to have watched Trump and then see what happened behind the scenes. Even knowing everything that Trump has done, it was good to review all those utterly strange things.

I also found the behind the scenes events at the White House fascinating. This book describes in detail how people can work for him. Besides how someone could vote for someone that made fun of a person with a disability, this was my primary question.

The author is clearly a conservative and approaches Trump from a betrayal vantage point. He also takes the time to restate and promote conservative views. It was fine, I guess, but not necessary for the thesis of this book.

In the epilogue he makes a direct correlation to 911. He went a bit overboard.

I believe that many supporters remain loyal by the fact that Trump is still in office (and by wearing blinders). This book provides the case that it is the administration that has kept him from blundering his way to being relieved of his duties and explains how this is done.… (plus d'informations)
