Friday - Phil Rucker discussing A Very Stable Genius
Meet White House Bureau Chief of The Washington Post and Pulitzer Prize winning author Phil Rucker discussing his new book A Very Stable Genius: Donald J. Trump's Testing of America. This peerless and gripping narrative reveals President Trump at his most unvarnished and exposes how decision making in his administration has been driven by a reflexive logic of self-preservation and self-aggrandizement -- but a logic nonetheless. This is the story of how an unparalleled president has scrambled to survive and tested the strength of America’s democracy and its common heart as a nation. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/meet-phil-rucker-at-books-books-tickets-93588753481
