detbuch,
With all due respect from someone who voted against HRC; this President does or says something every day that gives me pause..... His administration has been a revolving door, with many heading into federal indictments. Those standing by are doing so for sake of country so as to not leave the station unmanned. I don't know that many foreign leaders are willing to align with him, nevermind sign a coerced trade agreement with him. His assessment of Korean military mass is based on nothing more than dollars he wants to move around to support his pet project of the moment. I seriously doubt you would find a senior military official willing to give him his full vote of confidence. I personally have no confidence in his international relations and believe he is being played for a fool by both Putin and Kim. His narcissism does not sit well with me.
So in my view, without even addressing so many issues within our borders, the country is not doing as well as you make it out to be. The stock market is not a true barometer, unless you are a one percenter. No one is perfect. I hope that you can attempt to consider some of the questioning put forward by some who are not politically motivated to anything other than what is good for Americans...

I might pick up a copy. Though I will not swim thru the unwashed RESISTANCE to get a copy. When Bush was Pres I purchased books that were critical of him.
Like most things a la "resist!" I do not accept their premise. It is the boy that cried wolf, and all those times we were gonna die, finally there was a wolf and DILLIDGAF.
So because I chose not to VIVA LA RESISTANCE I am therefor ever a Nazi.
Tom Nichols (IMO a good guy & Never Trumper) says the people on the right should vote all Dem so we can get rid of Trump. I then look at the Democrats and Progressives and say NFW am I going to give up my rights and be over legislated by Dems by voting for these people. I will still vote for a moderate Dem but I can't find any right now worth voting for.

I haven't bought any anti-Trump books but this one could be interesting. The best thing right now to save the GOP is to vote dem if you ask me. The Republican party needs a reset.

For me, not happening. I will vote conservative/moderate Dems if there are any, and they are not reaching further and further left.
