(2022) It couldn’t get any worse — until COVID, when 200,000 Americans died needlessly.
By late 2020, Mr. Trump’s presidency had descended into catastrophic pandemic malfeasance, impeachment, and a near-2nd Great Depression. The November election truly was going to be the most important of our lifetimes.
Unlike the rom-com film Four Weddings and a Funeral, the story in this book, Trump’s Last Year in Office: Two Impeachments and 400,000 Funerals, was a preventable tragedy. From Mr. Trump’s extortion of Ukraine’s president, to his intentional venal mishandling of COVID-19, to fomenting a violent takeover of Congress and then implementing a literal coup attempt to retain power after his reelection loss, it was all preventable. How? By promoting a more critically thoughtful electorate. By nurturing a more empathetic population, less susceptible to selfish grievance and more conscious of humanity as a whole.■
