Book Description
================
The media star and host of MSNBC’s Am Joy - called “a heroine of the Resistance” by the New York Times - offers concrete
advice and insight for dealing with the outrages of the Trump administration and offers a progressive road map to
preserve and protect America’s future as a beacon of democracy. In this smart, forward-thinking “survival guide”, Joy-
Ann Reid offers an inspiring vision to help liberals, never-Trumpers, and all concerned citizens endure the presidency
of Donald J. Trump and a plan for what follows after he exits the White House.
In The Man Who Sold America, Reid analyzes the chaos of the Trump White House and lays out the dangers it poses for our
national security, the rule of law, and our standing worldwide. While the GOP has wholeheartedly embraced him as its
leader, Trump is actually helping to destroy the Republican party, Reid makes clear. While Trump promised his adoring
base that he would “Make America Great Again”, he has failed - despite his boasting - to enact many of the signature
policy goals he campaigned on, from fully repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act to building a “big, beautiful”
border wall and making Mexico pay for it.
As troubling as Trump’s occupation of the Oval Office is, his election has sparked a wave of enthusiastic citizen
participation unseen in decades and has ushered in a new golden age of journalism. Accused of being “the enemy of the
American people” and “fake news”, today’s reporters are rising to the challenges of covering the Trump White House,
including the bombardment of lies, prevarications, and “alternative facts”. Most important, Reid shows us how to stay
strong until the 2020 presidential election. We cannot let anger lead to paralysis, Reid wisely advises. Instead, we
must pour our efforts into activist causes and building a strong and vibrant Democratic Party that can both defeat Trump
and prevent the next candidate in his likeness from rising.
The Man Who Sold America is not a polemic; it is an uplifting, action-oriented blueprint essential for these turbulent
times that focuses on the decent and the good, reminding us of the principles and ideals that are the foundation of our
democracy and the opportunities we have to make America a better country for all of us.
