The Last American President: A Broken Man, a Corrupt Party, and a World on the Brink

"A piercing autopsy of modern America and a warning for the world. This book investigates how Donald Trump-a man shaped by emotional neglect, pathological narcissism, and lifelong cruelty-rose to power not despite his flaws, but because a broken system made him inevitable. This is not just about Trump. It's about whether America can remain a democracy. This book explores the toxic childhood that built Trump, the corrupt mentors who trained him, and the Republican Party and donor class that chose power over country, allowing him to turn a democratic superpower into a reality show teetering toward autocracy. But this isn't just his story-it's ours. A nation addicted to wealth, controlled by billionaires, and governed by lobbyists paved the golden road to fascism. And if Trump gets what he wants? Hartmann dares to imagine the horrifying global consequences, from democracy's collapse to a planetary climate tipping point-enabled not by one man alone, but by the cynical machinery of political cowardice and campaign cash. This is a story of complicity, corruption, and what happens when a bully is handed the nuclear codes by a party too bought-and too cowardly-to stop him"-- Provided by publisher.
