Dictator from Day One

Since January, we have been subjected to a constant barrage of outrageous statements and actions from the Trump Administration. On the surface, these might seem like isolated events. In his new book, Dictator from Day One, Robert Tracinski provides a compelling argument that these events are part of a coordinated effort to consolidate power in one man.

From denying due process to immigrants to deploying the military to American cities, from prosecuting political opponents to imposing ever-changing tariffs, the Trump Administration is pursuing a singular purpose: government control over nearly every aspect of our lives.

While Tracinski’s message is alarming, he offers advice for stopping this assault on the Constitution and our personal liberties. We must “resist early, resist often,” he writes. And we must do so while we still can.
