Jonathan Karl

Must read: Jonathan Karl's Front Row at the Trump Show. Time and again he was in the room where it happened. I've read every book about the Trump presidency. This is the best.

Jonathan Karl is a straight-shooting, fair-minded, and hardworking professional so it's no surprise he's produced a book historians will relish.

Underlying it is a story about waking up each morning and trying against the odds to find out what's true.

A terrific psychological window into Donald Trump — Jonathan's book is the best thing I've read on that period.

Excellent reporting and assured writing — an ominous warning.
