John Nichols, Horsemen of the Trumpocalypse: A Field Guide to the Most Dangerous People in America

Show #177 | Guest: John Nichols | Show Summary: John Nichols, national affairs writer for The Nation magazine and a contributing writer for The Progressive and In These Times, joins Angie Coiro to probe what lies beneath the flashiest aspects of the Donald Trump regime. In his new book Horsemen of the Trumpocalypse: A Field Guide to the Most Dangerous People in America, Nichols details the rogue’s gallery of alt-right hatemongers, crony capitalists, immigrant bashers, and climate-change deniers now running the American government. To survive the next four years, Nichols argues, we the people need to know whose hands are on the levers of power. And we need to know how to challenge their abuses. Sticking to the hard facts and unafraid to dig deep into the histories and ideologies of the people who make up Trump’s inner circle, Nichols delivers a clear-eyed and complete guide to this wrecking-crew administration.
