Un-American: The Fake Patriotism of Donald J. Trump - April 28, 2020 - by John J. Pitney Jr. (Author)

Of cause, Trump took this as disinformation as well... /commented by Rick.



A Scathing Indictment of Donald Trump on the Eve of the 2020 Election.

Un-American? President Donald J. Trump has been called many names, but how can this term apply to a candidate and president whose slogan is “make America great again?” How can such a term apply to the “America First” president? In this book, John J. Pitney Jr., one of America’s most incisive conservative commentators exposes a core irony of Trump’s presidency: that a man who is quick to question the patriotism of his critics is himself deeply unpatriotic. Pitney argues that real Americanism is about ideas and ideals: truth, equality, the rule of law, patriotic service, and the hope that America can serve as an example to the rest of the world. By words and actions, Trump has disparaged all of these things. Through an examination of his record, this book tells how Trump subverts genuine American greatness.


Review：
A lot's been written on Donald Trump. But if I were asked to recommend one book on Trump and his significance for the American experiment in self-government, I think Un-American is the book I'd recommend. Both as students of politics and as citizens of the United States, we are in debt to Jack Pitney for this work. -- Bill Kristol, Director, Defending Democracy Together

No matter how or when the Trump era ends, Jack Pitney is determined that we never forget that millions of Americans supported a president who attacked the values and principle on which American democracy was based for over two centuries. Pitney has created a testament that should be read, now and in the future, by every voter before every election. -- Tom Nichols, author of The Death of Expertise

Pitney skillfully analyzes Trump on honor, service, military, morals and honesty, among attributes.
