From the publisher:
Understanding the Stark Contrast Between the Current President and His Immediate Predecessor
Supporters of both presidents say that their man stands with the greatest of America’s presidents, and that the other man deserves to be among the worst chief executives ever to enter the Oval Office.
Which side is right?
In this brief but comprehensive (and often shocking) summary, historian Robert Spencer evaluates the administrations of Barack Obama and Donald Trump from the standpoint of America First: was America stronger, safer and more prosperous at the end of the administration than it was at the beginning? Was America in the ascendance, or declining? Did the president put the well-being of the American people first, or did he have other considerations?
Even for the most fervent partisans of Obama and Trump, this investigation will be eye-opening. Spencer briskly traces how each won the presidency, details what the overarching goals and agenda of each administration was, and shows how good each presidency has really been for our nation and its people. Agree or disagree, the facts he presents here cannot be ignored.
