Inside Donald Trump's Second Presidency and the Rise of Executive Power

About
From the road back to the White House to the inner workings of the Situation Room, from immigration crackdowns and national security crises to clashes with Congress, the courts, and the press, The Unchecked traces how power was exercised, challenged, and redefined during one of the most consequential periods in American political history.
At its core, this book is about more than one presidency. It is about the transformation of the American executive office over generations-how authority once limited by custom and compromise has steadily grown through war, crisis, and political division. Through the lens of Trump's second term, readers are given a broader understanding of how the presidency evolved into the central force of modern government.
With clear historical context and accessible analysis, The Unchecked connects the present to the past, placing Trump alongside the long line of presidents-from Abraham Lincoln to Franklin D. Roosevelt to Richard Nixon-who tested the boundaries of executive power in moments of national strain.
Urgent, balanced, and thought-provoking, The Unchecked offers an essential portrait of a presidency that changed the structure of American government-and raises profound questions about what comes next for democracy, accountability, and the future of presidential power.
