The Making of the President 2016

In this definitive examination of Donald J. Trump's unexpected rise to the presidency, Roger Stone, a New York Times best-selling author and veteran political strategist, delves into the unique campaign that tapped into the national mood and shocked the world. Focusing on the pivotal states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, Stone reveals how Trump's grassroots efforts and combative style resonated with the "silent majority" and turned the tide against a well-funded Clinton campaign. He offers an insider's perspective on the political dynamics at play, including the role of alt-conservative media, opposition research, and the Republican establishment's underestimation of Trump's potential.
