This was everything I remember about his administration. I was hoping to learn something new - something that hasn’t been reported or some reflection that would’ve indicated I’d misunderstood something or could give me greater insight. I guess fake news didn’t exist in his time. Lol.
I wish he’d addressed border control, specifically about how children had been separated from parents and supposedly held in cages. I remember seeing the News York Times article and being shocked. I realize it came out after this book, but the events happened during his presidency. Maybe Biden will write about it when it’s his turn…
Three stars because it was basically a well written brag book that his daughters can read and feel good about.
