3. What Happened: Written by #Hillary Rodham #Clinton. Donald Trump is a central figure in Hillary Clinton’s 2017 memoir, What Happened, where she reflects on her 2016 campaign. The most significant overarching theme regarding him is her argument that his campaign served as the “perfect Trojan horse for #Putin” and represented a direct assault on American democratic institutions. On a personal and visceral level, Clinton highlights the second presidential debate as the most defining and uncomfortable encounter with him. She describes how Trump loomed and hovered behind her on stage, a shadowing tactic that made her “skin crawl” and prompted her to mentally debate whether to tell him to back up or maintain her composure. Throughout the book, Clinton contrasts her vision of democracy with Trump’s rhetoric, ultimately calling him “a creep” for his debate conduct and holding him responsible for exacerbating the toxic, “right-wing war on truth” in American politics.

4. The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir. Written by John #Bolton. In The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir, former National Security Adviser John Bolton portrays Donald Trump as erratic, “stunningly uninformed,” and prioritizing personal political gain over national interests. The book alleges that Trump frequently sought assistance from foreign leaders for reelection and confirms that he tied Ukraine military aid to investigations into political rivals.

5. A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership. Written by James #Comey. This is James Comey’s first book (a memoir) and by far the one where he speaks most harshly and negatively about Donald Trump.

Comey explicitly compares the culture of the Trump administration to the New York Mafia families he prosecuted earlier in his career. He writes that Trump demanded a “silent circle of assent,” expected absolute personal loyalty over the law, and operated with an “us-versus-them” worldview. Comey’s other book, Saving Justice: Truth, Transparency, and Trust, also critiques Trump and discusses threats to the justice system but is more focused on broader themes of institutional integrity and less personal/direct in its attacks.
