Republican political campaign strategist, ad maker, columnist, and commentator Rick Wilson brings his dark humor and biting analysis to confront the absurdity of American politics in the Age of Trump. Wilson mercilessly takes down Trump and exposes the damage Trump has done to the country, to the Republican Party Wilson served for decades, and to the conservative movement that has abandoned its principles for the worst president in American history. Wilson is no left-winger; he's a lifelong conservative who delivers his withering critique of Trump from the right. A leader of the Never Trump movement, he takes on his own party to warn them of the political catastrophe Trump has caused and concludes that everyone involved with Trump leaves with their reputation destroyed and their life in tatters.
Wilson unblinkingly dismantles Trump's deceptions and the illusions to which his supporters cling. He sheds light on the causes of the Trump phenomenon and identifies the guilty parties who empower and enable Trump in Washington and the news media. With punchy political analysis and pointed observations, he calls out the social conservatives who looked the other way, the race-war dead-enders who hitched a ride with Trump, and the alt-right basement dwellers who worship him.
This book is a unique, behind-the-scenes perspective from a political operative and insider who's seen it all and can deftly chronicle the tragicomic Trump story from the early campaign days, through the shock of election night, to the inconceivable train wreck of Trump's first year.
In Everything Trump Touches Dies, Rick Wilson "wields as axe dripping with his own party's blood." -Kirkus Reviews
"This differs from many Trump books in that Wilson knows where the bodies are buried. Have shovel, will exhume. Expect howls of Republican rage and Democratic delight." -Booklist
"Rick Wilson's acid wit is directed at the absurdities, excesses, and hypocrisies of President Trump and the alt-right's deformation of his once-proud Republican Party." -John Avalon, CNN Senior Political Analyst
Wilson's thirty years of political experience make him uniquely qualified to provide not only this insightful analysis of the Trump administration but also to offer an optimistic path forward for the GOP, the conservative movement, and the country.
A unique combination of insider political analysis, blunt truths, and black humor, Everything Trump Touches Dies is perfect for those on either side of the aisle who need a dose of unvarnished reality, a good laugh, and a return to sanity in American politics.
