Seconded. I have read a lot of Trump books, and I think Audience of One is probably the best.
THE APPRENTICE started the ball rolling, taking the Trump who'd become a punchline in the 1990s and turning him into a carefully-crafted fiction. TV made him.
Highly recommend @poniewozik.bsky.social's AUDIENCE OF ONE here.

Heckuva lot of people deserve blame for all this, but I nominate everyone who built the fiction of Trump as some financial and business genius.

I wanna highlight this and the reference from @jerrymcm.bsky.social - by Trump's reasoning he should have slapped a 41% tariff on Russia. He did not. Why? Just remember Speaker Pelosi's words right in Trump’s face.

The United States Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has sanctioned a ship that we highlighted (with @lloydslistdaily.bsky.social and @yoruk.bsky.social ) in a series of investigations into grain smuggling from occupied Crimea.

I really wish people would care about Trump using Pinochet's tactics to disappear people for speaking their mind.
This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.
Trump takes credit for Mahmoud Khalil's arrest by ICE:

NEW: Perkins Coie has hired Williams & Connolly to fight Trump's executive order targeting Perkins.
There had been concern in the legal community about whether major law firms would shy away from the fight out of fear of incurring Trump's wrath.
But Williams & Connolly is considered formidable.

This should not be allowed to happen.
An Arkansas state senator is running for secretary of state.
Just weeks of announcing his bid, he filed 6 bills that'll further empower the secretary of state's office to reject popular initiatives.... so paving the way for himself to hold vast authority if he wins!
