P ETER S CHWEIZER , New York Times bestselling author of Clinton Cash and Profiles in Corruption

This book is not simply a very, very good book. It is a great book. I rarely use that term, and I read a lot of books. This is the book your anti-Trump relatives and friends should read. It is a fact-based, highly-footnoted defense of Donald Trump as president of the United Statesand it is as clear a moral indictment of the anti-Trump left as has been written. It also has the virtues of being as clear as water and as readable as a page-turning novel. Finally, it is written by David Horowitz whom I consider a modern-day prophet. Prophets hated evil and told the truth.

Preface

O N D ECEMBER 18, 2019, the forty-fifth president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, was impeached by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives. The impeachment took place a month shy of three years after Trumps inauguration in 2017, and no crime was alleged to have been committed. The vote was strictly along party lines: All House Republicans along with three Democrats voted not to impeach. Only Democrats voted to pass the two exceptionally vague articles of impeachmentabuse of power and obstruction of Congress. It was the first partisan impeachment in American history.

Seven weeks later, on February 5, 2020, the U.S. Senate voted to acquit the president of the impeachment charges. His exoneration was also the result of a party-line vote. Only one Republican senator with a history of personal grievance against the president joined the Democrat minority in seeking to remove him. The final vote was 5149. To convict a sitting president, the Constitution requires a vote of sixty-seven senators. The fact that the vote fell so short of the constitutional requirementan outcome predicted by all involvedunderscored the unusual circumstances of this moment in American politics, and the unprecedented divisions that lay behind them. During three years of Democrat attempts to remove the president on ever-changing grounds, Americans had come to realize that their country was off course, loosed from its constitutional moorings and far from its traditional orders of business.

How far? As head of the Judiciary Committee, Representative Jerrold Nadler was one of the two principal House managers of the impeachment process in the Senate. In the heat of those hearings, Republican senators refused to support a Democrat demand about how to run the proceedings. Nadler accused them of orchestrating a cover-up of the presidents alleged impeachable deeds. Nadler then went a momentous step further and called this opposition to a Democrat attempt to define the terms of the presidents trial obviously a treacherous vote.1 In other words, if Republicans didnt agree with a Democrat effort to remove their president, that was treason.

Only twenty-one years earlier, during the impeachment of Democrat Bill Clinton, the same Jerrold Nadler had warned against precisely such partisan efforts to remove a sitting president. He called them a threat to the very fabric of Americas constitutional order: There must never be a narrowly voted impeachment or an impeachment supported by one of our major political parties and opposed by the other. Such an impeachment... would produce divisiveness and bitterness in our politics for years to come and will call into question the very legitimacy of our political institutions.2

These were wise words. Americas constitutional order, with its separation of powers and system of checks and balances, was designed to force warring factions to compromise and come together. The founders intended by these means to ensure stability and domestic peace. The fact that a prominent legislator, not to mention an entire political party, would dismiss these safeguards and pursue the very factionalism the founders feared was a disturbing indication of the dangerous waters the nation had entered.

At first glance, the candidate who emerged in 2016 should hardly have seemed a potentially divisive force. Donald Trump was a lifelong funder of liberal causes, a friend of the Clintons, a supporter of reproductive choice, an early advocate for inner-city children, a proponent of government programs and government spending. He seemed a likely figure to work with the opposing party on common interests. Yet before he ever entered the White House, the Democrats developed a hatred for Trump unprecedented in the annals of American politics. They formed a Resistance to his presidency, boycotted his inauguration, organized massive street demonstrations behind the slogan Not My President, and began talking about impeaching him before he even entered the Oval Office.
