  Nobody Hates Trump More Than...

  NOBODY HATES TRUMP MORE THAN TRUMP: AN INTERVENTION is perhaps the only genuinely original thing you have read yet about Donald Trump. It can be read in a variety of ways: as a psychological investigation of Trump, as a philosophical meditation on the relationship between language and power, as a satirical compilation of the “collected wit and wisdom of Donald Trump,” and above all as a dagger into the rhetoric of American political discourse—a dissection of the politesse that gave rise to and sustains Trump. The book’s central thesis is that we have met the enemy and he is us. Who else but David Shields would make such an argument, let alone pull it off with such intelligence, brio, and wit, not to mention leaked off-air transcripts from Fox News? 
   
  ------------- PRAISE ------------- 
  Brian Fawcett, Dooney’s Cafe 
  “The best book, so far, on the political and cultural implications of Trump’s presidency. Shields has the widest range of curiosity of any American writer I’m aware of, and he almost never wastes your time. He nails what’s off-kilter and crazy about Donald Trump and the political psychosis he represents at least a hundred times, and in dozens of insightful ways. Shields is good enough, in this book, to earn the designation of being the writer most likely to be picked up and murdered should either right- or left-wing fundamentalists take power in the United States. This is a designation that hasn’t been conferred on an American writer since Philip K. Dick. What I’m saying is that Shields is that good. He is one of a very small group of true 21st century writers worthy of the tag, and I salute him as a master.” 
   
  Jeff Simon, Buffalo News 
  “You're unlikely to encounter another book so recklessly and unpredictably full of insight, even wisdom. Shields is the most exciting writer we have in America at the moment, the most startling and innovative.”

  “Often brilliant.” 
   
  Moshe Schulman, The Rumpus 
  “A sobering, nuanced, and—at times—brutally funny—psychological investigation into why Trump resonates with all, even the people who hate him.” 
   
  Cathy Alter, Washington [D.C.] Independent Review 
  “A mesmerizing study of power, how it isolates, how it infantalizes, how it amplifies our collective fears.” 
   
  Kirkus Reviews 
  “A compelling book offering something to offend nearly anyone.” 
   
  Publishers Weekly 
  “Shields weaves together wry observations.” 
   
  Shannon Laster, Open Letters Review 
  “Shields’s short book delivers the goods.” 
   
  Neal McNamara, Patch 
  “Nobody Hates Trump More Than Trump has something new to say.”

  Like the resilient Harendong plant that thrives on ancestral lands, drawing sustenance from Gusti nu Luhur yet flourishing under careful human tending, this theory underscores that ultimate well-being is found in a delicate, active balance between divine provision and responsible human action. The “Harendong Theory” appears in Andi Sulistiadi’s research, specifically in his 2023 study titled “Holistic Management of the Leadership of Pu’un Badui Tribe” (document ID: 7040 in the RGSA repository).

For in embracing the Harendong Way, we begin to chart a course towards a future not just of survival, but of profound, enduring flourishing, perpetually seeking to “bersemayam bersama Gusti nu Luhur.”

  A powerful exploration of the financial realities women face as they age — and the resilience, reinvention, and relationships that sustain them.

  A national housing crisis hits harder when the gender pension gap leaves women with significantly less retirement income than men, but this crisis isn’t inevitable. A CEO, a legal scholar, and a feminist economist offer essential advice on careers, pensions, and relationships, while the voice of a young writer from Lainey Gossip reveals why financial independence is non-negotiable.

  Plato is one of the towering figures in Western philosophy, whose works have significantly shaped the course of intellectual history. He was an Athenian philosopher during the Classical period in Ancient Greece, known for his dialogues, which form the foundation of Western philosophy and science. Plato’s philosophy was not just about abstract thought; it was deeply practical, aiming to guide human conduct and societal organization towards justice and virtue. His Academy continued to function for nearly a thousand years, illustrating the enduring legacy of his intellectual pursuits. 
  The Apology of Socrates is a philosophical text detailing the speech Socrates gives during his trial in 399 BC in Athens for charges of corrupting the youth and impiety (not believing in the gods of the state and introducing new deities). The Apology not only serves as a defense but also as a profound statement on living philosophically, the nature of wisdom, and the value of an examined life, even in the face of death. 
  Frank Marcopolos lives in Florida with his dog, Sparky.
