"Why does Donald Trump speak and act as he does? Why does he need to deny the obvious seriousness of a pandemic? Why must he provoke violence? Why do many in the country still support and follow him? What caused his ascendancy in the first place?Dr. Lee's epic new book is "the missing piece: that answers these questions with accessible language. She presents her analysis at the end of its term, as a nation grapples with why, after almost 200,000 coronavirus deaths and ecomonic devastation, he is still a candidate for reelection, whether he will allow for a peaceful transition of power if he loses, and what citizens can do at this critical time."--Adapted from cover.
