Publisher Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER"The most comprehensive and detailed account of the Trump presidency yet published."—The Washington Post • A Best Book of the Year: The New Yorker and Financial Times • "The book everyone is talking about."—Politico

The inside story of the four years when Donald Trump went to war with Washington, from the chaotic beginning to the violent finale, told by revered journalists Peter Baker of The New York Times and Susan Glasser of The New Yorker—an ambitious and lasting history of the full Trump presidency that also contains dozens of exclusive scoops and stories from behind the scenes in the White House, from the absurd to the deadly serious.

"A sumptuous feast of astonishing tales...The more one reads, the more one wishes to read."—NPR.com "A beautifully written, utterly dispiriting history of the man who attacked democracy." —The Guardian


The bestselling authors of The Man Who Ran Washington argue that Trump was not just lurching from one controversy to another; he was learning to be more like the foreign autocrats he admired.

The Divider brings us into the Oval Office for countless scenes both tense and comical, revealing how close we got to nuclear war with North Korea, which cabinet members had a resignation pact, whether Trump asked Japan’s prime minister to nominate him for a Nobel Prize and much more. The book also explores the moral choices confronting those around Trump—how they justified working for a man they considered unfit for office, and where they drew their lines.

The Divider is based on unprecedented access to key players, from President Trump himself to cabinet officers, military generals, close advisers, Trump family members, congressional leaders, foreign officials and others, some of whom have never told their story until now.

Must Read

An exhaustive, well-sourced tome describing the Trump Presidency. This is not just a recitation of events; it also explains the context and historical importance of events. The book is so well written the words seem to jump off each page.

Having said that, the authors gave readers who are not Trump fans (to say the least) some delicious factotums and comments that may have not added to the historical record but were somewhat cathartic/validating to read.

You owe it to yourself. Read it.

Extensively detailed about the corrupt Trump presidency. Anyone who considers him an effective leader who needs another term as POTUS needs to read this book. DJT needs to be held accountable and convicted for his misdeeds.

Mere opinion

Mainly storytelling with very few facts or evidence
