The Hardest Job in the World: The American Presidency by John Dickerson
The Hardest Job in the World
4/5. What it says on the tin – a review of the modern presidency and what makes it hard. It's good at being that book, but I recommend it for something else entirely: this book is very good at distinguishing things that Trump does which are actually aberrant from the things that are not. Anyone who gets their primary news and commentary from twitter may find this helpful, because yeah, knowing this is something that twitter is particularly and noticeably bad at.
