The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021 by Peter Baker, Susan Glasser
4.0
This book was a little underwhelming. I had gone into this book thinking it would be the one book to read about the trump presidency, and it ended up falling a little flat. It was essentially a play by play of the last four years, which got a little old and repetitive- It could have been 200 pages shorter. There were so many names involved that I couldn't keep track of who was who.
I think what I wanted was more a book of what led to someone like trump being elected in the first place, something that was more of a sociological take on the presidency rather than an in the room account. This was on me though as this book never proposed to be that.
I will give it four stars as it accomplished what it said it wanted to. For me, the experience was probably a 2 star read. It just was not that interesting!
