520 "Bestselling author and longtime Trump observer David Cay
Johnston shines a light on the political termites who have
infested our government under the Trump Administration,
destroying it from within and compromising our jobs,
safety, finances, and more. No journalist knows Donald
Trump better than David Cay Johnston, who has been
following him since 1988. It's Even Worse Than You Think:
What the Trump Administration Is Doing to America goes
inside the administration to show how the federal agencies
that touch the lives of all Americans are being
undermined. Here is just some of what you will learn: The
Wall. Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto told President
Trump that Mexico will never pay for the border wall. So,
Trump is proposing putting a tariff on Mexican imports.
But a tariff will simply raise the price of Mexican goods
in the US, meaning American consumers will end up paying
for the wall--if it ever gets built. Climate Change.
Welcome to the new EPA, run by Scott Pruitt, a lawyer who
has spent much of his career trying to destroy the agency
he now heads. Secrecy reigns at the new EPA because Pruitt
meets with industry executives to find out which clean air
and clean water provisions they most want to roll back,
and keeps staffers in the dark to make sure these pro-
pollution plans don't leak prematurely. Stocking the
Swamp. Contrary to his promise to 'drain the swamp' in
Washington, DC, Trump has filled his cabinet with
millionaires and billionaires, from Treasury Secretary
Steven Mnuchin, a Goldman Sachs and hedge fund veteran who
made much of his fortune foreclosing on homeowners, to
billionaire heiress Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who
has already put the interests of bankers ahead of debt-
burdened students and their families. The Kleptocracy.
Under Donald Trump conflict of interest is passé. When
Trump isn't in Washington, he stays at one of his
properties, where the taxpayers pick up the tab for
staffers, Secret Service, and so on, all at full price.
And back in Washington, everyone now knows that the Trump
International Hotel is the only place to stay if you want
to do business with the administration. Meanwhile sons
Donald Jr. and Eric run an eyes-wide-open blind trust of
Trump holdings to avoid the appearance of conflict of
interest--but not the reality."--Dust jacket.
