A Loose Grip: Governance in a Republic - "If you can keep it" - and The Trump Thing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781733002011)

If freedom is precious, our Republic is precious. In "A Loose Grip," Dr. Howard Asher warns us that we can lose both our Republic and our freedom if we don't understand the founding principles of this nation and apply the wisdom necessary to preserve our Republic's promise of liberty. In his insightful, thought-provoking, and instructive book, Dr. Asher connects the dots of what our unique and extraordinary Republic is all about, who we are as individuals, and who we are as a nation of people.

Dr. Asher has written "A Loose Grip" in a personal, timely, relatable way.

This fascinating exercise delineates President Trump's perspective and point-of-view on pertinent and controversial issues.

Dr. Asher concludes with seven imperative actions that need to be taken to "strengthen our grip" on our Republic.
