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."
After a chaotic and violent first Trump presidency, Miles Taylor knew one thing for sure: Trump would be president again, whether he was on the ballot or not. Taylor knew intimately that Trumpism was overtaking the Republican Party and was bound to mount a vigorous comeback. Now, following the 2024 presidential election, his prophecy has come true.
With Blowback, 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 predicted what could happen inside "Trump 2.0." What sounds like a political thriller—from questionable 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.
