On January 7, 2021 the media pronounced President Trump inert, kaput, zapped. He was soon to be impeached a second time, and tried in the Senate as a private citizen. Trump was written off by many grandees in his own party, libeled as a neo-Confederate insurrectionist, crashing in the Republican polls, and within months the target of 91 lawfare indictments in five civil and criminal courtrooms, and facing half-a-billion dollars in fines and a possible lengthy prison sentence. Yet  within two years, Trump was defiant as ever. He began criss-crossing the countries to massive rallies—between court appearances. He was soon crushing his Republican primary opponents, and convinced he could regain the presidency, despite two assassination attempts, the hatred of the frenzied  Left, and  loathed by the media, the universities, the corporate board rooms, celebrities, and most of the donor class. No matter. Donald Trump staged the greatest comeback in American presidential history, won back the White House, and began launching  the most sweeping counter-revolution in a century. Almost alone, Trump was determined to undo 100 years of the progressive take-over of our institutions, to marginalize the gloomy declinists, and to reboot the U.S. as the greatest economic, military, and political power in the world How he arose from the ashes, crushed his opponents, and sought to restore America is the story of Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald  Trump and the MAGA Movement—a carefully documented account and analysis of what Trump’s adversaries did to him, why he survived, and how he has become one of our nation's most consequential and controversial presidents.
