The Trump years--neatly cataloged in history now? Not so fast says one of the best chroniclers of the Washington scene, Mark Leibovich, whose new book, "Thank You For Your Servitude," whisks us through the tumultuous Donald Trump presidency with an emphasis on the followers, "the accomplices who make Trump possible," he said.
Leibovich, who spent 10 years as the chief national correspondent for the New York Times magazine before joining Atlantic magazine, logged more than 250 interviews over six years with folks like Senator Lindsey Graham, Rep. Kevin McCarthy and Sen. John McCain, whose funeral is described in some detail in the book.
While it's great to be able to look back and laugh at all the foibles, the impeachments, the engagement with the Russians (you remember that), the control that Trump holds over the Republican Party makes it a distinct possibility that there may have to be a sequel, Leibovich told Steve Tarter, looking ahead at the 2024 election.
Joe Biden will be 82 at that time and with no heir apparent in sight yet in either party, Leibovich is fully prepared to record another presidential run for the Disrupter in Chief.
