From an award-winning historian and regular Fox contributor, the true story of how Donald Trump has become one of the most successful presidents in history—and why America needs him now more than ever.

In The Case for Trump, award-winning historian and political commentator Victor Davis Hanson explains how a celebrity businessman with no political or military experience triumphed over 16 well-qualified Republican rivals, a Democrat with a quarter-billion-dollar war chest, and a hostile media and Washington establishment to become president of the US—and an extremely successful president.

Trump alone saw a political opportunity in defending the working people of America's interior whom the coastal elite of both parties had come to scorn, Hanson argues. And Trump alone had the instincts and energy to pursue this opening to victory, dismantle a corrupt old order, and bring long-overdue policy changes at home and abroad. We could not survive a series of presidencies as volatile as Trump's. But after decades of drift, America needs the outsider Trump to do what normal politicians would not and could not do.

I Expected this to be a total blow out positive narrative in favor of Donald Trump and wasn't going to read it. The switch came from the very beginning, it was a very good historical review of all the things that have happened in America that set up the total unexpected the election of Donald Trump to be the President of the United States of America. This went back 50 years or more, in some cases with both Republicans and Democrats that have lied, cheated and deceived the American voters. I am 65 years old and have often herd many people say the same thing when it comes to our electoral process and the very people that we have placed in front of us to choose from. "VOTING FOR THE LESSER OF THE EVIL" This book goes into all the many things that have gone into the reason why Trump was in the right place and time for America. This book was very thought provoking in many ways for me because I was not a Trump supporter in the beginning AT ALL. Take the time to read this book and see if you dont agree with all the facts that this history lesson puts in front of the readers.... Great Job

Great Book but totally different that I EXPECTED.

The phenomenon of Donald Trump is not fake news. As I listened to the author’s account, I researched the facts. I’m not surprised to find that all are verifiable.

I am still baffled by the hatred that is spewing for this man and can only conclude that he is the miracle! Trump 2020, please!

Trump. A phenomenon

Why did it take so long for a scholarly look at why so many Americans chose such an unlikely President? VDH explains how so much of the intellectual class, from both sides, have been living in a bubble of think tanks and self -congratulatory conferences, while a huge part of America saw faith, family, and community values eroded, mocked and shamed. Beyond the economic funk, the cultural tactics of divide and shame, had paved the way for a unapologetic non-politico to unite the vast majority of exhausted middle and say what they had been told was verboten. "America is the greatest country in the world, and currently the people in charge don't seem to think so."

Great Book of a great big scandal!

I clearly think that the Trump Presidency will be viewed through the glass of history as the most successful and unexpected presidencies in American history. No doubt Donald Trump was a master politician despite his frequent denial of being just that. The author did a great job in making a case for Donald Trump and his Presidency. The author clearly and definitively made the case that his assent to the highest office in our nation was no accident or happenstance. The work was well researched, articulated and the narrator did a great job of expressing the author’s context and pace in making the Case For Trump a must listen on Audible.

Great Book!
