Insane Clown President: Dispatches from the 2016 Circus by Matt Taibbi
5.0
A well reasoned book about the 2016 election that looks at the absolute insanity of Trump and the very large mistakes that Hillary Clinton made. It helps you to understand how and why Trump won, but also how and why Clinton lost. These things are both related, and stand on their own.
Several of the chapters are articles that Matt Taibbi wrote while on the campaign trail for Rolling Stone. They swing between thinking that Trump has a chance, thinking that Trump could never win, then reassessing where he went wrong. The articles follow what seems to be real time views of the campaign and brings me back to my own thoughts and fears at the time.
Taibbi takes a sharp look not only a politics, but also the effect of media.
