thank you for your servitude by mark leibovich

We can check out any time we want, but only time will tell if we can ever leave. Thank You for Your Servitude isn’t another view from the Oval Office: it’s the view from the Trump Hotel.

It’s a vista that makes the Washington of This Town seem like a comedy of manners in comparison. All that cynicism, shading into nihilism, led to a country truly unhinged from reality, and to the events of January 6, 2021. 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. 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. 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. 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. When I recognize that my body was born from. Even more, in their outrage: Trump was a menace and an affront to our democracy. I salute the sun every morning and affirm the blessings of the five elements: the earth, space, sun, air and water. 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. “The new must read summer book.” –Stephanie Ruhleįrom 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. “Really fascinating.There are so many revelations.” –Anderson Cooper

“His writing is so damn good.” –John Berman “This is a really funny book.” –Kara Swisher “He’s one of the best chroniclers of politics today.” –Jake Tapper
