The book also explores the moral choices confronting those around Trump—how they justified working for a man they considered unfit for office, and where they drew their lines.

Brief Summary The Divider by Peter Baker

Too often people only attribute this to Trump’s personality. Obviously, his personality is a factor. However, there are two questions that need more analysis: 1) What were the nature of Trump’s conflicts with the ruling class establishment? How did these conflicts impact his regime including what he did and didn’t accomplish? 2) What does Trump’s accession to the highest office in the U.S. say about the state of U.S. politics and economics?On the first question, a major source of the high turnover of Trump appointees was this conflict. The “adults in the room” were predominant for the first couple years according to Baker and Glasser. They stayed on as long as they did to control Trump. Trump was woefully ignorant of how government operated. He thought he could run it like his businesses. He was checked by laws, bureaucracy, courts, and Congress. This shows that calling the Trump administration “Fascist” was always wrong. In the first couple years, the checking of Trump often came from inside his administration. After that, according to the authors, the push back often came from the outside. Either way, he was never a dictator, and this frustrated him.
