Trump Presidency

“Since the moment that Trump claimed victory, political observers have said that America is in uncharted waters. Schier and Eberly provide an excellent chart of the early days of this unusual administration. Thoughtful, balanced, and politically savvy, this book carefully distinguishes the real from the fake, and the unprecedented from the conventional. At a time of partisan heat and intellectual confusion, it provides a temperate guide for the perplexed.” (John J. Pitney Jr., Claremont McKenna College) “This is a must read book for understanding Trump's rise and the implications for American politics by two of the foremost presidential scholars. It will leave you thinking very carefully about the Trump presidency.” (Janet Box-Steffensmeier, The Ohio State University) “I highly recommend this engaging, balanced, and well-researched evaluation of Donald Trump's candidacy and the first six months of the Trump Presidency. Schier and Eberly provide us with much-needed context and insight grounded in political science, showing us what is - and what is not - unusual about the Trump Administration and what to expect going forward.” (Kathryn Pearson, University of Minnesota).
