Horsemen of the Trumpocalypse

A Field Guide to the Most Dangerous People in America

By: John Nichols

Narrated by: Matt Kugler

A line-up of the dirty dealers and defenders of the indefensible who are definitely not "making America great again" Donald Trump has assembled a rogue's gallery of alt-right hatemongers, crony capitalists, immigrant bashers, and climate-change deniers to run the American government. To survive the next four years, we the people need to know whose hands are on the levers of power. And we need to know how to challenge their abuses. John Nichols, veteran political correspondent at the Nation, has been covering many of these deplorables for decades.

Sticking to the hard facts and unafraid to dig deep into the histories and ideologies of the people who make up Trump's inner circle, Nichols delivers a clear-eyed and complete guide to this wrecking-crew administration.

Critic reviews

"You may have thought you knew who's working for this president, but you'll discover what you know is only the tip of the iceberg." (The Capital Times)

"John plays an extraordinarily important role... He is everywhere. He is an incredible writer. I try to write sometimes and I can't believe how fast he writes and how well he writes." (Senator Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont)

"Nichols provides all rationally outraged Americans with factually insightful portraits of the corporatist managers of Trump's giant wrecking machine....The unprecedented cruelty, greed, ignorance and abuses of power over the laws of the land are revealed in the pages of this fast-paced, well documented book. ... Nichols shows that the fate of our society's health and safety, justice and democracy, freedom and opportunity are being sacrificed on the anvil of giant corporatism - unless 'we the people' stop them." (Ralph Nader)

Understanding the perilous times confronting us.

This audible audiobook is critical to understanding the perilous times confronting us.  This authors scope and understanding of our country, the world, and the workings of government, is the most impressive and compelling I have ever read.  The clarity of his understanding of the catastrophe of Trump is placed through contrasting his intellectually bankrupt rule against other failed leaders throughout the world.  His articulation of the gravity of Trump's potential catastrophic impact leaves me speechless and in awe.  His sweeping command of history, economics and American politics, must rank him of the world's most talented and intellectually gifted.  I can't praise him enough.  I am sure by simply listening to his narrated introduction that you will agree with me and excitedly want to hear the rest of the book.  Just install the audible reader app which will read the book at your set pace whenever you have time to listed.  You can also install the app on your phone enabling you to listen wherever you are.  This book is important and will make every person who reads it far more knowledgeable of our country's history and the magnitude of the peril facing us. 

In-depth research, references, and reasons for the U.S.A to move forward in 2024.

I kept current on the DT’s shenanigans and was still appalled with all the clear and deliberate actions of the Trump administration outlined in this well written book. This is a great consolidation of the key wrongdoings and lack of leadership. It gives resources and references and allows each of us to do additional research on our own.

I hope individuals that were not aware of these circumstances and outcomes read and apply the learnings of this book to the 2024 election, so that more devastation nor repeating that administration does not further harm the people of the United States.
