**This New York Times bestselling Trump biography from a major
American intellectual explains how a renegade businessman became one of
the most successful -- and necessary -- presidents of all time.
**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 sixteen
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 United States -- 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.
