Publisher Description
The author behind the “eye-popping” (CNN) #1 New York Times bestseller A Warning presents an urgent look at how our deeply divided nation is setting the stage for “The Next Trump.”
Donald Trump will be president again, whether he is on the ballot or not. That is because Trumpism is overtaking the Republican Party and will mount a vigorous comeback, potentially in the hands of a savvier successor. This prophecy will come true, according to Miles Taylor, if we do not learn the lessons of the recent past.
With the 2024 election approaching, the formerly “Anonymous” official is back with bombshell revelations and a sobering national forecast. Through interviews with dozens of ex-Trump aides and government leaders, Taylor predicts what could happen inside “Trump 2.0,” the White House of a more competent and more formidable copycat.
What sounds like a political thriller—from shadowy presidential powers and CIA betrayals to angry henchmen and assassination plots—is instead America’s political reality, as Taylor uses untold stories to shed light on the ex-President’s unfulfilled plans, the dark forces haunting our lives, and how we can thwart the rise of extremism in the United States.\
Blowback is also a surprisingly emotional and self-critical portrait of a dissenter, whose own unmasking provides a vivid warning about what happens when we hide the truth from others and, most importantly, ourselves.

Great & Great
Ignore that I am immediately making this about me, but I have a little bit of a problem with this book genre. Miles’s second release is at the top of the two dozen I have read since the Trump nightmare began. And keep in mind, brilliant authors such as Rachel Madow and Jamie Raskin are on this list. Here is why: This young, self deprecating gentleman has accomplished more in his short time here than most of us, which means, he was “in the room” when much of the Trump idiocy was occurring. As with many of these tell alls, he started on the Trump bandwagon but quickly realized the sociopathic infant was not Quikstop management material, let alone Presidential. However, Mr. Taylor’s personal opinion of the ex-President was never presented without corroborating evidence or like-minded witness testimony - and the list and pedigree of the witnesses is mind-blowing. This genre can be so draining on the reader, with nothing but doom-and-gloom prose, but Miles offers solutions, plans, and hope - we all remember how special hope can be. The final kicker, is that he weaves a personal, relatable, and emotional life story throughout. You can’t leave this without being a big fan no matter your cult status. I would predict that young Miles has already been optioned, quite handsomely, for a fictional, romantic, political thriller.
It’s even worse than we imagined
the people who worked under Trump always have the most frightening things to say about him. We all witnessed Jan 6th but it still can get worse according to the people who witnessed Trump’s presidency first hand who know how the administration operated have insight into how it will operate in the future if we make the same mistake as we did in 2016
Great Book
Great look inside of the clown car that is and was the tRump administration. It is chilling to think this could happen again.
