About this listen
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER •
"The most comprehensive and detailed account of the Trump presidency yet published."—The Washington Post
A Best Book of the Year: The New Yorker and Financial Times
"The book everyone is talking about."—Politico
The inside story of the four years when Donald Trump went to war with Washington, from the chaotic beginning to the violent finale, told by revered journalists Peter Baker of The New York Times and Susan Glasser of The New Yorker—an ambitious and lasting history of the full Trump presidency that also contains dozens of exclusive scoops and stories from behind the scenes in the White House, from the absurd to the deadly serious.
"A sumptuous feast of astonishing tales...The more one reads, the more one wishes to read."—NPR.com • "A beautifully written, utterly dispiriting history of the man who attacked democracy." —The Guardian
The bestselling authors of The Man Who Ran Washington argue that Trump was not just lurching from one controversy to another; he was learning to be more like the foreign autocrats he admired.
The Divider brings us into the Oval Office for countless scenes both tense and comical, revealing how close we got to nuclear war with North Korea, which cabinet members had a resignation pact, whether Trump asked Japan’s prime minister to nominate him for a Nobel Prize and much more. The book also explores the moral choices confronting those around Trump—how they justified working for a man they considered unfit for office, and where they drew their lines.
The Divider is based on unprecedented access to key players, from President Trump himself to cabinet officers, military generals, close advisers, Trump family members, congressional leaders, foreign officials and others, some of whom have never told their story until now.
What the critics say
"Well-paced and engagingly written...the most comprehensive and detailed account of the Trump presidency yet published."—The Washington Post
"[A] detail-rich history of the Trump administration...Comprehensively researched and briskly told...Squeezing the tumultuous events of the long national fever dream that was the Donald Trump presidency between two covers...would tax the skills of the nimblest journalist. Yet the husband-and-wife team of Baker and Glasser pull it off with assurance."—The New York Times Book Review
"As a sumptuous feast of astonishing tales, it may hold wonderments indeed for those first contemplating the enormity of the Trump phenomenon...But even a reader steeped in years of Trump coverage and well-versed in the precedent literature may be surprised at how compelling this narrative proves to be. The more one reads, the more one wishes to read."—NPR.com

Truth
This team of husband and wife have accredited background. Peter is with NBC and Susan is with CNN. They have worked closely with most of the people mentioned in this book. Over the past few years I have read many books and novels written by well known names.
This particular book wraps all the horrors of a very dark period of time in US history.
Well know successful people who served under Trump saw a side of him which should bring each US citizen to very much evaluate their political views.
I could go on and on but I suggest you purchase this book and decide for yourself if hundreds of people who worked or were fired in the Whitehouse certainly have a voice in the work. No matter what political party you choose to follow give this work your consideration.

Very detailed
It’s a very detailed, very interesting story and well read. But it’s longer than most audible books.

Very long but covers a lot
It is sometimes hard to distinguish if an author is being bias or the facts speaks for themselves and no spin is needed.
This book covers a lot of content and the authors do such a good job of covering the detail and linking the behaviours for you to make an assessment. Very well done!

One of the best Trump books
If you only buy one book on the Trump administration, this is it. Very comprehensive and well written.
