I Told You So! Donald Trump, The Awful Years

"No one blazed a trail through American politics quite like Donald Trump, and no one was better equipped to track it than Stump Connolly. In columns going back to 2012, Connolly reports on Trump's triumphs and tragedies in all their grandiose absurdity. With insight and humor, he takes us through the 2016 conventions, the emergence of Trump Nation, the Wall, the Russian investigation, coronavirus, missteps at home, pratfalls abroad, Trump's 2020 defeat, and the growing snowball of denial that led to the Capitol Insurrection.

The former president took the American economy to its greatest heights and plunged it into a disastrous pandemic, leaving the country in a valley of despair separating two distinct political and social cultures. Follow along with Stump as he tries to make sense of it as it was happening in his weekly column as chief political correspondent of The Week Behind."
