The #1 New York Times Bestseller He s one of the best chroniclers of politics today. Jake Tapper This is a really funny book. Kara Swisher His writing is so damn good. John Berman Really fascinating...There are so many revelations. Anderson Cooper The new must read summer book. Stephanie RuhleFrom the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller This Town the eyewitness account of how the GOP collaborated with Donald Trump to transform Washington s swamp into a gold-plated hot tub and a onetime party of rugged individualists into a sycophantic personality cult. In the early months of Trump s candidacy the Republican Party s most important figures people such as Marco Rubio Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham were united and loud in their scorn and contempt. Even more in their outrage: Trump was a menace and an affront to our democracy. Then awkwardly Trump won. Thank You for Your Servitude is Mark Leibovich s unflinching account of the moral rout of a major American political party tracking the transformation of Rubio Cruz Graham and their ilk into the administration s chief enablers and the swamp s lesser lights into frantic chasers of the grift. What would these politicos do to preserve their place in the sun or at least the orbit of the spray tan? What would they do to preserve their relevance ? Almost anything it turns out. Trump s savage bullying of everyone in his circle along with his singular command of his political base created a dangerous culture of submission in the Republican Party. Meanwhile many of the most alpha of the lapdogs happily conceded to Mark Leibovich that they were in on the joke. As Lindsey Graham told the author his supporters in South Carolina generally don t read The New York Times and they won t read this book either. All that cynicism shading into nihilism led to a country truly unhinged from reality and to the events of January 6 2021. It s a vista that makes the Washington of This Town seem like a comedy of manners in comparison. Thank You for Your Servitude isn t another view from the Oval Office: it s the view from the Trump Hotel. We can check out any time we want but only time will tell if we can ever leave.
