This series is stimulated by the clash between the presidency as invented and the presidency as it has developed. Over time, the presidency has evolved and grown in power, expectations, responsibilities, and authority. Adding to the power of the presidency have been wars, crises, depressions, industrialization. The importance and power of the modern presidency makes understanding it so vital. How presidents resolve challenges and paradoxes of high expectations with limited constitutional resources is the central issue in modern governance and the central theme of this book series.

Acknowledgments
Completing an edited volume like the Reading Donald Trump: A Parallax View of the Campaign and Early Presidency is only possible because of the intellectual generosity and dedication of the contributors. Therefore, I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation to all of the very talented scholars who made this project a reality. I would also like to thank my wife, Alicia, and my son, Tristan, for their patience and support in the completion of this volume. Performing research and the writing process are enterprises of solitude that require the understanding of loved ones. Conversations that one has with colleagues about specific ideas and how these ideas should take shape are important components of any writing project. Therefore, I would like to thank Dr. Sabah Alnasseri for encouraging me to pursue this specific project during a trip to Baltimore, Maryland. In a similar vein, I would like to thank Dr. Michael Howard, Dr. Andrew McMurry, and Dr. Margaret Walton-Roberts for our lively discussions about Trumpism and Americas Trump. Finally, I would like to thank my editor at Palgrave Macmillan, Michelle Chen, and her editorial assistant, John Stegner, for their commitment to helping bring this project to fruition.
