Publisher's summary

The author behind the “eye-popping” (CNN) #1 New York Times bestseller A Warning presents an urgent look at how our deeply divided nation is setting the stage for “The Next Trump.”

Donald Trump will be president again, whether he is on the ballot or not. That is because Trumpism is overtaking the Republican Party and will mount a vigorous comeback, potentially in the hands of a savvier successor. This prophecy will come true, according to Miles Taylor, if we do not learn the lessons of the recent past.

With the 2024 election approaching, the formerly “Anonymous” official is back with bombshell revelations and a sobering national forecast. Through interviews with dozens of ex-Trump aides and government leaders, Taylor predicts what could happen inside “Trump 2.0,” the White House of a more competent and more formidable copycat.

What sounds like a political thriller—from shadowy presidential powers and CIA betrayals to angry henchmen and assassination plots—is instead America’s political reality, as Taylor uses untold stories to shed light on the ex-President’s unfulfilled plans, the dark forces haunting our lives, and how we can thwart the rise of extremism in the United States.

Blowback is also a surprisingly emotional and self-critical portrait of a dissenter, whose own unmasking provides a vivid warning about what happens when we hide the truth from others and, most importantly, ourselves.

Couldn’t put it down

I knew I was getting an eye-opening account of how disgusting Trump is and what a disaster a 2nd Trump administration would be but I was surprised by Miles's personal account of the trials and tribulations he endured. I had no idea the shit he was going through and think sharing his story can serve to help others keep faith.

All Should Read This

This is a great story told in compelling detail by a man who lived it from the beginning. A lot was known in part from news clippings and reports; to hear it told in full in first person is chilling. America is on the brink, we all need to step back and remember what this country means, not to you personally, but to all of us.

Thank you Miles for telling your story.

A Call to Action

This was riveting and rich with detail. The author’s care to provide context and historical information is exceptional. The conversational delivery kept me engaged. You cannot read this and not be ready to take action.

Miles Taylor is smart, except

When he might be obfuscating the obvious because of his security clearance. Khashoggi? Clearly the Don did his Dumb Donny the Thug routine on camera as a vehicle of extortion. He’s a vile, barely literate mouth-breather, but the “ man” knows crime. Some jackass stupidly let him see classified documents and he saw his opportunity to extort $billions through his liege, Sir Jared. MBS ordered the hit, even after his “I’m so cuddly and Western!” Extravaganza tour of the USA ( flyover states, not included), ( Ari, you knew better but you got paid, wat?) it’s obvious. And evil. And God BLESS Miles Taylor for helping save us from the 4th Reich. This ain’t no joke. Now, please- let abolish system of shit public schools funded unfairly by property taxes and save this God Blessed Country!! It’s not a mystery where MAGA comes from!! @apple manufacture in the USA, bitch! Don’t file as an Irish tax haven. Shall I go on???

essential

Beyond traditional civics classes, this book
should be made mandatory-reading for all "america"; e.g. you have to pass a "Blowback" test to qualify for voter registration.

A must read

Important book - as citizens, we need to hear from different points of view and educate ourselves to avoid dark times in history repeating. Thank you Miles Taylor for being brave enough to speak truth to power! Vote autocrats out - and protectors of democracy in!

Scary outlook

I was riveted. And horrified. I hope his predictions never come true. But based on the last 8 years of watching our country fall apart and become so divisive, I fear his predictions are already in the making. But that’s just me thinking out loud. Listen to the book. Formulate your own opinions. I believe in democracy.
