Front Matter

~~~
The bane of humankind is the malignant lie, employed by the malevolent liar for depraved self-interest, in politics and families. The ability to initiate and sustain the lie takes no special talent nor intellect, only the capacity to abandon personal integrity and character.

When good people try to correct the mendacity, the liar gets angry and vindictive. So the question is, in politics and families: Roll over in silent acquiescence or stand up for truth and take the hit?
~~~
Dedicated to Norma, this man’s best friend — Not a literal saint but not too far off.

The Series

This is the first in my subseries comprising the three books:

• Trumpism: Why Traditional Republicans Should Withdraw Support [2017-2021: A Primer]
• Trump’s First Year in Office: The Awakening
• Trump’s Last Year in Office: Two Impeachments and 400,000 Funerals

All three books listed above are carve-outs from my exhaustive 1,400-page history:

• Trump’s Presidency: A Real-Time Commentative History [2017-2019]
• Trump’s Presidency: A Real-Time Commentative History [2019-2021]

This book, Trump’s Last Year in Office: Two Impeachments and 400,000 Funerals, is the third book in the subseries, all drawn from the perspective of a long-time avid political observer. Think of the histories as an in-depth every-Thursday recap of all the news you were too busy to consume because you had a life and didn’t realize the gravity of the dysfunction and disinformation. When you see my opinion you’ll know it. Much more often, when you see facts, quotations, and details, I’m assuring you that I’ve backed up their accuracy with careful research and citation.
