A Warning to Save Democracy from the Next Trump

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.

Highly recommend

Wow, what a story! Frightening, compelling, inspiring all at once. Thank you, Miles, for your commitment to the truth.

A must read for anyone who cares about our country

it took a great deal of courage to come out against Trump, and this book is a warning to all Americans about the dangers of electing someone like him again. it is imperative that we follow the natural conclusion reached.

Our vote matters more now than ever, but more importantly, so does our conviction. Thank you, Miles, Taylor. Our country, and our democracy stand a better chance thanks to Patriots like you.

Raw and Relatable.

As a former moderate republican, this book makes me want to act. The honesty of Miles’ account is refreshing despite the sobering reality of his warning. I’m no Cassandra, I just think it’s worth a listen. If you’re on the fence about using your monthly credit, give it a shot, you won’t be disappointed.

Every American needs to read this!

What an insight to the flaws of our system from someone on the inside of our government. I’m thankful for Miles for being brave enough to come forward with his story and hope others do the same.

Excellent review of recent history

Again from the inside details that it’s good to remind ourselves of. Very well written.

Listened twice

So well written and so much to absorb that I listened twice. This is a book I would recommend to everyone.

Utter Chaos

Thank you Miles, for having the the courage to speak out about the turbulence going on during Trump's Presidency. I would blame Mitch McConnell for not encouraging the Senate to vote for Trump's second impeachment. America would not have to worry about this man,who lacks the temperament nor intelligence to lead this country.

Chilling

Miles Taylor is the reader of his own book. He is the best person to do this. He has a sense of humor and his Trump imitations are spot on. There seemed to be no downtime for anyone who worked in the Trump White House. The treatment from Trump and his minions would qualify as high level harassment in any workplace. This was and still is a cult. It struck me that whatever your political persuasion, Young Miles Taylor went to Washington with a good education and a lot of integrity to do something good. Reminiscent of the young Nixon aide who testified at the Watergate hearings about high expectations for joining an administration, Taylor showed much disappointment. But Trump is not Nixon with his self reflection or ability to put the country first. Trump cares about Trump.
Miles Taylor got himself free of this cult with the ability to survive and reinvent himself despite epic level threats. I appreciated his honesty and analysis.

Nightmare Scenario

Scarier than a Stephen King novel. Insightful thoughts about a future MAGA presidency. I can’t stop listening yet it’s a nightmare story. Excellent

Things were apparently worse than we could have imagined!

This was an insightful piece of work. It was also filled with ample warning of what the next demagogue with authoritarian leanings and a bit more intelligence could do to this country if she or he gained power.
