Review:

I have to admit, I picked up this book with trepidation.  I really just have had enough reading about the former guy and have no particular desire to hear even more how horrible he was.  This kind of information is destabilizing in my life and A Very Stable Genius reinforced numerous things that I thought might be true.  So, everything you thought might be happening with Trump in his final year was.

This book is not comprehensive (so much crap was happening), but it hits the highlights and focuses on  Trump's obsession with falsehoods that benefit him.  I'm really tired of him.

Very Stable Genius, Rucker and Leonnig

  

A Very Stable Genius:  Donald J. Trump's testing of America by Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig is another in the long list of trying to understand this administration.

Review:

As expected...Trump's white house sucks.  He is wild and careening.  This book rehashes a lot of events with which I am familiar from a number of other books and offers a little more insight since some of the people involved are not in government right now.  There is more about the Mueller report then I have read elsewhere and the timing is fantastic as a Federal Judge announced today that Barr may well have mislead on that report.
