Summary

From high-flying former EPA administrator Scott Pruitt, whose penchant for first-class travel and a highly suspect housing arrangement raised Washington's collective eyebrow, to Education Secretary Betsy Devos, who vowed to protect children from 'potential grizzlies', members of the Trump Cabinet have shown a startling penchant for headline-grabbing behaviour. Despite Trump's pledge to 'drain the swamp', petty corruption abounds. In this book, journalist Alexander Nazaryan takes readers deep inside the Trump government. Nazaryan shows how laughable 'scandals' like Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson's attempted purchased of a $31,000 dining set have masked far more important and potentially devastating developments: a coordinated, systematic effort by extreme right-wing Republicans to shred established institutions.
