The instant New York Times and USA Today bestseller<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2002 \u2002 \u2002 \u2002For four years, Donald J. Trump inflicted an onslaught of overlapping and interconnected traumas upon the American people, targeting anyone he perceived as being an \u201cother\u201d or an enemy. Women were discounted and derided, the sick were dismissed as weak and unworthy of help, immigrants and minorities were demonized and discriminated against, and money was elevated above all else. In short, he transformed our country into a macro version of his malignantly dysfunctional family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
