"Donald Trump grew directly out of the ignorance, intolerance, corporatism, and extremism of the Republican Party. Tom Ersin’s account during that time calls out those who deny that Trump is a fruit of the poisonous Republican tree. Ersin’s sharp wit, keen observations, and insightful interpretations create a portrait of how Republicans brought us to the brink of ruin through their dishonest pandering to an angry and confused base while serving their wealthy corporate masters. Future political historians will look back on Ersin’s book with a debt of gratitude.
