Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power
Original price was: $30.00.$14.99Current price is: $14.99.
From Axios’ Senior Political Reporter Alex Isenstadt, a fly-on-the-wall account of Donald Trump’s history-defying reelection campaign, illustrating how he overcame seemingly insurmountable challenges to return to the White House.
Over the course of the last four years, the American public looked on as the former president faced a series of daunting obstacles to return to the White House. The lingering cloud of January 6, a shadow effort within the Republican establishment to defeat him in the primary, multiple indictments, assassination attempts, and an 11th hour change of his opponent all threatened to derail his return to power at any moment.
In Revenge, journalist Alex Isenstadt takes readers deep into Mar-a-Lago, inside the courtroom, and aboard “Trump Force One” to show how Trump and his revamped team responded, overcame, and in some cases orchestrated each and every surreal moment in this one-of-a-kind presidential campaign. Based on extraordinary access and over 300 interviews, Isenstadt paints a unique and deeply revealing portrait of a man bent on returning to the White House at all costs – and who successfully portrayed himself as an avatar of vengeance for the millions of Americans who voted for him.
Now, for the first time, readers will experience Trump’s reelection bid from the inside.

A desperate, lie-filled collection of garbage
[...]Other customers should know that this trash is nothing but a hard left-wing, ficticious collection of made up lies. This is anything but objective writing. The author isn’t even in the circle of Trump by any means, so how can he write a fly on the wall story? The WSJ even referred to him as ‘a writer of make believe, bar none; not to be taken seriously’.So if you have Trump Derangement Syndrome and want to feed it, then go ahead. Otherwise run away from this crap.

An Excellent Book but with Mistakes That Shouldn’t Be Ignored
[...]This book should get a solid 4 1/2 stars, but since that rating isn’t available, I’ll give it a generous 5, only because over 99% of the book deserves it. But before we get to the book parts, here are the glaring mistakes:The author writes, on page 23, that Trump in 2016 “declined to disavow former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke,” and that “he said there were ‘very fine people’ who participated in a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.” These are technically accurate statements but grossly misleading when taken in context, as I outlined in my 2020 book Trumped-Up Charges!.I devote a full chapter to each falsehood. Regarding Duke, Trump disavowed him numerous times before and after an incident in which he says he didn’t hear the question correctly – blaming an earpiece through which he heard it as faulty – but which the media took as an indication that Trump defended white supremacists. Again, note that Trump disavowed Duke numerous times before and after that incident.Trump allegedly referring to neo-Nazis in Charlottesville as “very fine people” was the lie on which Joe Biden based his 2020 run for the presidency. As is now widely known (though I was one of the first to disclose it), Trump’s use of “very fine people” was to describe people on both sides of the debate of whether Confederate statues should be removed from public places or retained for their historical value – it wasn’t to describe white supremacists with sheets and torches.The author makes one more notable mistake, this one by omission. In referring to January 6, he says Trump told the crowd to “fight like hell,” which he did, but the author fails to point out that immediately thereafter Trump pointed to Rudy Giuliani – then 76 years old and diminutive and frail-looking – as an example of someone who “fights like hell.” Clearly, Trump meant “fight” in terms of not giving up, not physically scaling walls and windows and breaking into the Capitol. Moreover, the author fails to include that Trump specifically told the attendees to go outside the Capitol and “PEACEFULLY and PATRIOTICALLY make your voices heard.” One wonders: did the author neglect to do the research to uncover these important details, or were these pesky truths intentionally shelved because they thwarted the momentum of his narrative?As for the remaining 99% of the book, it is a well-told gripping read; having just lived through all of it, I can easily say “yeah, that’s how it happened.” If only he had not made the above mistakes, there would be no reason to wonder whether some of the other information that we don’t know for certain is accurate.Nonetheless, I recommend this book as an important contribution to Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
