Circling the Drain: Trump’s Assault on America

The MAGA onslaught is ravaging America: dismantling democracy, assaulting due process of law, weaponizing government agencies, purging inspectors general, unleashing a national police state - while riding roughshod over the Constitution. With surgical precision, Circling the Drain: Trump’s Assault on America dissects the words and actions of the president and his MAGA cohorts. Author William Boardman lays bare Trump’s deluge of lies, criminality, cruelty, and his ultimate aim: to replace America’s 250-year-old democracy with autocratic rule. As Boardman points out, our constitutional crisis began on Day One - January 20, 2025 - when Trump claimed the authority to rewrite the Constitution by executive order. The crisis has deepened ever since, with all three branches of government controlled by radicals bent on imposing a totalitarian America. Circling the Drain is Boardman’s urgent contribution to the struggle for democratic resistance - a call to action that arms readers with the most potent weapon against tyranny: the truth.
