Political Psychosis: How Trump Took America Hostage, and How to Take Our Power Back (Trumpism on Trial)

Journalists, political scientists, and psychologists have spent years asking themselves how Donald Trump managed to take the American people captive. Now, you know. In this volume, you'll find the 12 rules Trump followed to secure and retain his base's devotion. You don't need to ask him to find out what they are. Just watch him; listen to what he's said. You'll discover: A man who's not immoral, but amoral: He doesn't careabout what he fights for, as long as he wins. A man whose life is built on an illusion and branding. On image, not substance. A modern-day snake oil salesman obsessed with preserving that image, because he's deathly afraid of being exposed as the fraud he really is. A man who depends entirely on others' approval to validate him, because he's never succeeded on his own. A man so broken that no achievement is enough to providehim with the sense of self-worth he desperately craves. Here's what Trump's method tells us about him, and about ourselves. We can take our power back - from him and others like him - by exposing it for what it really is.
