Retribution

Donald Trump and the Campaign That Changed America

  • Jonathan Karl




Jonathan Karl’s extraordinary new book, following bestsellers TIRED OF WINNING; BETRAYAL; and FRONT ROW AT THE TRUMP SHOW.

The must-read new book from Jonathan Karl, the author of New York Times bestsellers Tired of Winning, Betrayal, and Front Row at the Trump Show

In Retribution, Jonathan Karl’s unparalleled access brings us behind closed doors deep inside the White House and presidential campaigns, revealing the extraordinary moments that ended one man’s presidency and brought another back to power.

This is a story of unprecedented political plot twists, showing what happened behind the scenes as political fortunes fell and rose again, and as a new team coalesced around President Trump with the goal of creating an entirely new world order. From President Biden’s shocking withdrawal and Vice President Harris’s historic run, to the multiple assassination attempts on President Trump, his election, and the changes he has brought to every corner of the country, this book reveals in surprising new detail how we got here, and what we can expect from American politics in the years to come.

Praise for Retribution

Praise for Jonathan Karl

"Tired of Winning… is the most important thing that has been written to date about what is in front of the American people in the next presidential election." —Nicolle Wallace, on Tired of Winning

"The Constitution is strict: It says we must have presidents. Fortunately, we occasionally have reporters as talented as Jonathan Karl—an acute observer and gifted writer—to record what presidents do. Karl is exactly the right journalist to chronicle the 45th president, who is more—to be polite—exotic than his predecessors.” —George F. Will, on Front Row at the Trump Show

“Must read . . . . Time and again he was in the room where it happened. I've read every book about the Trump presidency. This is the best.”Bill Press, on Front Row at the Trump Show
