The book title is a misnomer as it deals very little with Donald Trump himself and more to do with the Washington establishment and Democrats who follow the Breitbart political observation (actually a mere statement of opinion) that culture is the source of political power.

This book is notable as most of its citations are from the web and only a few from published works. The agenda spoken of in the book title is the conclusion of the book where several things are listed for Trump to do as soon as he takes office. Trump has done some of these, many were either ignored or tried and dropped after failure.

Although Horowitz is correct to say that Trump has the political deck of cards stacked against him and that progressives really do control the democrat party, a party of rank hypocrisy, Horowitz does not really understand the progressive philosophy, if you can call it that. His assessment is more of a disagreement rather than a philosophical destruction of the logical and practical structure of progressivism. Horowitz doesn't know that progressivism is a eclectic conglomeration of existentialism and deconstruction, blended with the ideology of white oppression.

This book was much better than I expected although simplistic as a view of what the future looks like. Horowitz's future of what America can be is merely dismantling what Obama has left behind and challenging the Democrats through not accepting the characterization which Democrats disseminate as Republican policy and ethical positions. Democrat progressivism is the supreme threat to successful transitions of Presidential Terms of Office which is how Horowitz judges our democratic Republic's vitality.

Horowitz is a polemicist, and this book is quite the polemic. He is right that the Left doesn't play fair and wants to radically alter what makes America good, and what makes America America. And the Left would make America not a utopia, but a dystopia. His advice on how to counter the Left is good if you don't get nasty: hit back, don't be timid, call the Democrats out for their bad ideas, their bad ideology, their bad intentions cloaked in good intentions. But, Horowitz's advice could easily be misinterpreted and misused to become just as bad as the Dems. Rude, crude, breaking rules, breaking morals, breaking laws in order to get what you want. It is thus that Horowitz is both good and bad. He is good when he points out Trump doesn't play by the rules laid out by the Democrats for so long, and how Trump reached many average Americans. He's wrong when he excuses some of Trump's failings, moral and rhetorical. Trump's words are muddy and imprecise and could be misconstrued (especially by Leftists and the media) to sound evil and racist and dumb. If Trump had actual brains, he would be able to attack without being misconstrued. (Trump is also immoral and un-Christian, this is a problem for me.) But, remember liberals and the media said Reagan was racist. Bush was racist. W was racist. McCain was racist. Romney was racist. When you "cry racist wolf" for so long, it rings hollow when you get to Trump. When you say Bush is Hitler and then Trump is Hitler, it loses its sting. When you try to construe Romney as a racist, and Trump as one too, it rings hollow. Libs don't get that. But, I digress.

The book is good for a quick thumbnail sketch of liberalism and how it should be combated. It is a good précis of Trump's plans and how he should go about them. ( )

This books title is spot on.....the Big Agenda of this book was to further his agenda. He contradicts himself over and over...he has no facts to substantiate his claims. .....Subtitle witch hunt.

It's rather comical to be reading this now, as things unfold...
Don't waste your time on this...find a more honest, open minded and non partisan author. This is sub par writing. ( )

This is Trump’s agenda for a more conservative America.

I snatched up Big Agenda: President Trump's Plan to Save America by David Horowitz with the hope of learning more about President Trump's goals and methods for mending America. The book contains more than just President Trump's plan and in addition exposes Democratic corruption. My review is pertaining to the book and not my political views.

In general, The book is divided into 3 parts and concludes with the 100 day plan...

Part 1 talks about challenges for President Trump in dealing with the opposition including Republican "Never Trumpers", and the progressive movement. It also talks about race and hate among the Democratic party. I found the description of the Democratic party's "character assassination" to be compelling. Most of what you see and hear in the media portrays President Trump as being the ultimate hateful and racist person. He reminds readers that Democrats and progressives are just as hateful against their political adversaries.

One statement made by Hillary was that Trump was a racist for requesting Obama to produce his birth certificate to prove he was an American citizen. Yet, this was something Hillary herself attempted to expose during the primary fight with Obama in 2008. His writing is very argumentative.

Horowitz also discusses Hillary's actions which were conveniently "overlooked" by so many during the 2016 election. Here is one example of his bold writing:

Hillary Clinton violated the espionage laws; she broke her oaths of office; she lied to congress and the FBI about her illegal server, which exposed classified secrets to America's enemies; she lied to the general public to hide what she did and repeated her lies over the course of a year; she lied about the number of illegal, unsecure handheld devices she used, and she destroyed or "lost" all of them to hide what she had done; she obstructed justice-a felony-by destroying her emails days after Congress had subpoenaed them and warned her not to destroy them; she lied to the American public and the world about the deaths of four American heroes, including an ambassador who was her friend and whose demise came about as a result of circumstances in which she had played a significant role; she lied to the mothers of the dead over their coffins. Yet through all this disgraceful and criminal activity, which would have disqualified anyone else as a presidential candidate, not a single Democratic elected official-not one- said, " This is a bridge too far, I can't go along with her on this." Not one.

This blunt statement above is an example of the way David Horowitz boldly lays it all out on paper. If you're a person who loves a good argument pertaining to claims against President Trump and his character, part 1 may be your reading destination, although part II contains more additional accusations about Democrats including but not limited to Hillary.

Part II outlines the agenda. The need to stop the progressive movement, repair Obamacare, issues with the environmental movement, and radical Islam to name a few. Part II also discusses more controversial Democratic corruption.

Part III includes strategies for change and leads into the conclusion that addresses Trump's battle plan and the first 100 days in office. If you just wanted to see the specific goals of Trump in early presidency, you could easily just skip to the conclusion and presumably be satisfied.

I personally liked the book because of the way Horowitz writes. It's easy to understand and isn't overly pompous as you might expect it to be. His writing to me is bold, powerful, insightful and convincing. I'm glad I read it and I'm looking forward to reading more works from this author.

Now, we can discern as the next four years unfold...
