Trump's Three Wars

For nearly a decade, American politics has been shaped by a conflict larger than any single candidate or election: a struggle over who controls the federal government, whose voices matter, and how political power is exercised in the United States.Trump's Three Wars connects the presidential campaigns of 2016, 2020, and 2024 as three stages of one continuous political struggle between Donald Trump, a rising populist movement, and the Washington establishment.The 2016 election disrupted both major parties and brought millions of working-class, nonelite, and politically disaffected voters into a new political coalition. The 2020 election deepened the conflict through disputes over institutional authority, media influence, political legitimacy, internal Republican divisions, and the upheaval surrounding January 6.By 2024, a movement many believed had been defeated rebuilt its coalition and returned Trump to power, forcing a broader reckoning over the relationship between elections, public institutions, and the American electorate.Moving beyond conventional biography or the events of a single presidency, this book examines the conflict across the Republican Party, Congress, the courts, the federal bureaucracy, traditional media, technology platforms, and the changing American electoral landscape.Trump's Three Wars is a political history of a movement, a presidency, and a decade-long struggle over who governs America.
