Whether you view Trump as a savvy media tactician or a threat to democratic norms, this book offers a fascinating exploration of power, influence, and the breakdown of traditional journalism. With rich historical context and sharp insights, it shows how Trump's relationship with the media didn’t just reflect political strategy, it redefined the role of truth in American democracy.

This book kinda surprised me tbh. I thought it would just be another political rant but its more about the weird relationship between Trump and the media. The author basically shows how both sides fed off each other like a nonstop attention machine. News needed drama and Trump was basically a walking headline.
At the same time he knew exactly how to poke the press so they couldnt ignore him even when they wanted to. It made me realize the media wasnt just reporting the story. Sometimes they were part of the story too
