About this listen

 From Rick Wilson—longtime Republican strategist, political commentator, Daily Beast contributor—the #1 New York Times bestseller about the disease that is destroying the conservative movement and burning down the GOP: Trumpism.

Includes an all-new chapter analyzing Trump’s impact on the 2018 elections.

In the #1 New York Times bestselling Everything Trump Touches Dies, political campaign strategist and commentator Rick Wilson delivers “a searingly honest, bitingly funny, comprehensive answer to the question we find ourselves asking most mornings: ‘What the hell is going on?’ (Chicago Tribune). The Guardian hails Everything Trump Touches Dies, saying it gives, “more unvarnished truths about Donald Trump than anyone else in the American political establishment has offered. Wilson never holds back.” Rick mercilessly exposes the damage Trump has done to the country, to the Republican Party, and to the conservative movement that has abandoned its principles for the worst President in American history.

Wilson unblinkingly dismantles Trump’s deceptions and the illusions to which his supporters cling, shedding light on the guilty parties who empower and enable Trump in Washington and in the media. He calls out the race-war dead-enders who hitched a ride with Trump, the alt-right basement dwellers who worship him, and the social conservatives who looked the other way. Publishers Weekly calls it, “a scathing, profane, unflinching, and laugh-out-loud funny rebuke of Donald Trump and his presidency.”

No left-winger, Wilson is a lifelong conservative who delivers his withering critique of Trump from the right. A leader of the Never Trump movement, he warned from the start that Trump would destroy the lives and reputations of everyone in his orbit, and Everything Trump Touches Dies is a deft chronicle the tragicomic political story of our time. From the early campaign days through the shock of election night, to the inconceivable train-wreck of Trump’s first year. Rick Wilson provides not only an insightful analysis of the Trump administration, but also an optimistic path forward for the GOP, the conservative movement, and the country.

“Hilarious, smartly written, and usually spot-on” (Kirkus Reviews), Everything Trump Touches Dies is perfect for those on either side of the aisle who need a dose of unvarnished reality, a good laugh, a strong cocktail, and a return to sanity in American politics.

Very entertaining polemic about Trump and all those who enable and excuse his boorish mediocrity for their own cynical ends.
Witty, insightful and at the end; hopeful for the future

Funny and pulls no punches

I thought this might be a Trump bandwagon book from the title, but I went with the numerous 5 star reviews and I wasn't disappointed. I really enjoyed Rick Wilson's style and delivery and found myself looking forward to the next withering take down of one of Trump's sycophants. The book is 4 years old but it is predictive of the November 2020 defeat and the disgusting scenes which followed it in the succeeding months. Every Republican who held their noses and voted for DJT, and all those who still adore him, should be forced to listen to this. Hitler and Joe McCarthy used the same divisive tactics and their supporters and enablers now look back with shame at their stupidity.

Much better than you might expect from the title

4 years since this was published, and Rick Wilson’s analysis still holds up incredibly well.

Just great, and stands the test of time quite nicely.

This book has aged well! it was written in 2017/2018, yet anyone who read this will not have been surprised by anything Trump has done since.

Excellent 👌
