The Trump Administration: A Betrayal of American Values (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798277100165)

A rigorous, fact-based indictment of the challenges to democracy during one of the most volatile eras in American political history.

In an age defined by political volatility and the relentless erosion of public trust, historian and constitutional scholar Larry Brower cuts through the noise to deliver a sustained, evidence-driven analysis of the Trump Administration's impact on American governance, law, and democratic norms.

The Trump Administration: A Betrayal of American Values argues that the presidency of Donald J. Trump was not a mere political shift, but a systemic challenge to the foundational principles of the republic. Brower meticulously documents the consequences across every branch of government and every sphere of influence, analyzing:

• The Assault on Truth: How the systematic dissemination of disinformation eroded the common factual basis necessary for public debate.

• The Strain on the Rule of Law: An unflinching examination of executive overreach, the unprecedented use of presidential power, and the administration's battles against congressional oversight and the judiciary.

• The Betrayal of Constitutional Norms: The long-term implications of judicial appointments and the direct challenges to the integrity of electoral processes and the peaceful transfer of power.

• A Retreat from Global Leadership: The move from multilateralism to a transactional foreign policy that redefined America's role on the world stage.

This book is more than a critique; it is a call to vigilance. Written in a formal, analytical, and scholarly style, Brower's work is essential reading for informed citizens, scholars, students, and all those who believe that safeguarding the principles of liberty, justice, and self-governance is the most vital civic responsibility. It is a testament to the belief that a robust republic is built not on partisan fervor, but on a shared commitment to truth and the common good.
