From the Back Cover

JACK HASSARD, INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN SCIENCE EDUCATOR, researcher, and author, examines the interplay of politics and science to unravel the effects that Donald Trump and his administration had on American society.

Using Robert Jay Lifton's concept of "a witnessing professional" and Charles R. Ault's introduction of him as "Citizen Jack," The Trump Files is Citizen Jack Hassard's eye-opening book revealing how Donald Trump affected not only American democracy, but human rights, science, and public health. Trump pursued policies that put most Americans at risk, especially considering recent climate change events and the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although not a journalist or media personality, Citizen Jack uses his researcher, blogger, professor, and citizen credentials to create a political science story about a grim period when Donald Trump was president. Jack weaves his abilities as an accomplished author and teacher of science with citizen diplomacy, blogging, and the local politics of Georgia. Jack composes a history of a president and his administration who undermined the tenets of a liberal democracy, nearly overthrowing the American government with his Big Lie and attempted coup d'état.

Citizen Jack, a teacher and blogger, bears witness to the actions of a corrupt president in The Trump Files. Beginning in 2015, Jack writes story after story for four years when America was held hostage by a president who couldn't tell the truth. Although discomforting, there is great value in revisiting and freeing the memories of the Trump era. This is a challenging and sober must-read given the present state of American democracy.
