Mr. Book just finished The Psychology Of Trump Contagion: An Existential Danger To American Democracy And All Humankind, by Brandy X. Lee.

This author had written a book back in 2020 that had warned that Trump would not leave office peacefully if he lost the election. This is his latest book on the dangers that Trump presents to the nation and the world.

There isn’t a lot of ideas here that hasn’t appeared in his other writings, other than some discussion about his followers, but it is still a very valuable addition to the field. The big advantage this one has was it was written during the 2024 campaign, so it is up to date.

This is the fifth book that was written or edited by Lee that I have read. Each of the other four got either an A or A+. I give this book an A.

Goodreads requires grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, an A equates to 5 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).
