BETRAYAL: THE FINAL ACT of the TRUMP SHOW (audiobook) by Jonathan Karl
Published in November of 2021 by Penguin Audio.
Read by the author, Jonathan Karl.
Duration: 10 hours, 32 minutes.
Unabridged.
In 2020, ABC White House reporter Jonathan Karl wrote a book about his experiences covering Donald Trump's run for President in 2016 and the first three years of his Presidency. It is called Front Row at the Trump Show. Karl follows up with this book of the last year of the Trump Administration and the first few months of his post-Presidency.
Karl meticulously names his sources and plays actual audio tracks as he tells this sordid story of misinformation, deceit, outright lies and a botched attack on the Capitol building in an attempt to thwart the results of an election.
If the previous paragraph upsets you and you think it is full of lies then you do not want to read this book unless you enjoy being upset.
If that paragraph sounds about right to you, I highly recommend this book as a primer to what you are likely to hear from the January 6 Commission. I've found it to be enormously instructive.
The audiobook was read by the author, Jonathan Karl. It includes multiple interviews with President Trump himself. His post-Presidency interview with Karl was so full of self-inflicted leaks that it makes me wonder about President Trump's competency. He should have known that he would come off poorly - Karl had already written an entire book about Trump's time as President and it was not complimentary.
Karl points out that President Trump always ran with a thin group of advisors and by the time the 2020 election his A Team advisors and his B Team advisors and a number of his C Team advisors had already come and gone. Perhaps these people didn't advise him that Karl had already written a critical book. Perhaps President Trump just wanted the publicity. Perhaps you can't tell President Trump anything.
I rate this audiobook 5 stars out of 5. It can be found on Amazon.com here: BETRAYAL: THE FINAL ACT of the TRUMP SHOW by Jonathan Karl.
