Assholes: A Theory of Donald Trump

"Make America Great Again? Donald Trump is an asshole is a fact widely agreed upon—even by his supporters, who actually like that about him. But his startling political rise makes the question of just what sort of asshole he is, and how his assholedom may help to explain his success, one not just of philosophical interest but of almost existential urgency. Enter philosopher Aaron James, author of Assholes: A Theory, who analyzes Trump’s behavior within the broader context of asshole typology and considers its implications for society and democracy."
