What is the best of the tRump books you've read?

There are so many out there that I can't decide which to indulge in. Kushner, Inc. looks interesting, as does Fear and Mar-a-Lago. How to decide? (And - yeah - catty is good. LOL)

Your opinions, please!

Seth Abramson and House of Trump, House of Putin by Craig Unger. ETTD is just so true and full of humor and truth. The other two are full on deeps dives into the history of Trump and Russia.

Wilson can't stop himself from throwing in a little gratuitous Democrat bashing, but he definitely has Trump's number and an impressive way with words. Very satisfying read.

It is really chilling. But You will def see some catty stuff going on In the White House.

If you want really catty, Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. It is a good book, remember Bannon got fired by Trump for things he told Wolfe. A little older but I think still worth reading.

"Fear" was a really good read. "Fire and Fury" was just delicious, both appalling and amusing at the same time. If you get the audio book, you'll be treated to a reading by the author and his vocal imitations of the various Trump world characters.

That mostly deals with his life before becoming President.

As far as the Steele dossier is concerned Collusion: Secret Meetings, Dirty Money, and how Russia Helped Donald Trump Win is really good.

I haven't finished Russian Roulette but I will have to get a copy but I have a couple books ahead of me.

The Making of Donald Trump and It's Even Worse Than You Think. Impeccably researched and clear-eyed evaluations of Trump from an author who has been investigating Trump for years.
