Synopsis

Filled with deep insights and never-before-seen details, Trump in Exile is an explosive, all-access account from behind the scenes at Mar-a-Lago as former president Donald Trump regroups from an election defeat that he refuses to acknowledge and plots his return.

The Capitol riots on January 6, 2021, put a horrific closing note on a norm-shattering presidency, as the twice-impeached Donald Trump rode a wave of denial and resentment out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and crashed back at Mar-a-Lago—seemingly wounded, seemingly done.
 
But he wasn’t. And what, exactly, was he building in there?
 
Meridith McGraw vividly chronicles the incredible period of Trump’s exile in South Florida—a postpresidency like no other in American history—and brings us inside the gilded walls of his private club, where an alternate reality in which the 2020 election was stolen became Republican Party orthodoxy. How did the country go from Trump’s political banishment to his renewed dominance over his party, as he effortlessly destroyed the once-formidable Ron DeSantis and now stands on the verge of returning to the White House—all while facing the heavy shadow of multiple federal and state criminal indictments? The Mar-a-Lago period is essential for understanding Trump’s implausible resurgence and the many missed opportunities to stop him.
 
From a reporter who has covered the Trump era from its beginning, through the White House years, to his 2024 campaign, Meridith McGraw’s Trump in Exile is riveting contemporary history, vital to our understanding of this defining American moment.

Goodreads review by AndrewMillerTheSecond on August 09, 2024

Not worth the time. I picked this up at B&N and hoped for some juicy insider details on the Trump post-presidency, but it reads more like a Wikipediaesque summary of his activities from 2021-2023 (and no disrespect to Wikipedia). The best part is about how Trump came to endorse JD Vance in the 2022......more

Goodreads review by Mike on August 22, 2024

I love a good political book In August - this one has the breezy and detailed prose I was hoping for, but is lacking analysis and depth, like a politico article I guess (the authors day job). It’s also oddly outdated, since it was released this month, largely only focused on 2022.......more

Goodreads review by Tom on December 01, 2024

[I read the Audible version narrated by [author:Beth Hicks|11679934].] This book focuses on the time Trump spent during the Biden presidency, recovering from his loss and moving steadily toward his 2024 run. This includes seeing the side effects of negative popularity from overturning Roe and the Jan......more
