Summary

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"The most important thing that has been written to date about what is in front of the American people in the next presidential election."—Nicolle Wallace

An extraordinary view into the politics of our times, Tired of Winning explores how Donald Trump remade the Republican Party in his own image—and the wreckage he’s left in his wake.

Packed with new reporting, Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party tracks Trump’s improbable journey from disgraced and defeated former president to the dominant force, yet again, in the Republican Party.

From his exile in Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump has become more extreme, vengeful, and divorced from reality than he was on January 6, 2021. His meddling damaged the GOP’s electoral prospects for third consecutive election in 2022. His legal troubles are mounting. Yet he re-emerged as the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Jonathan Karl has known Donald Trump since his days as a New York Post reporter in the 1990s, and he covered every day of Trump’s administration as ABC News’s chief White House correspondent. No one is in a better position to detail the former president’s quest for retribution and provide a glimpse at what the GOP would be signing up for if it once again chooses him as its standard bearer.

In 1964, Ronald Reagan told Americans it was “a time for choosing.” Sixty years later, Republicans have their own choice to make: Are they tired of winning?

Critic reviews

THE INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER

Featured in Vanity Fair’s Books to Read in November

One of the Associated Press' Most Anticipated Books of the Fall

Tired of Winning… is the most important thing that has been written to date about what is in front of the American people in the next presidential election.” Nicolle Wallace

"Tired of Winning should be required reading before voting in 2024." Bill Press, The Hill

Tired of Winning is worth reading. It is well-paced, meticulously sourced and amply footnoted. Karl’s third installment on the Trump presidency and aftermath shines a needed light on how the Republican party has been recast and reshaped.” —The Guardian

Another decent recount of the madness

Again the author gave a good account of the unhinged nature of Trump. A lot of the details have been mentioned in other writings,

Trump is toxic.

The thin skinned, bottle blonde pumpkin has the truth laid out in a concise and well researched book that shows him to be a clear and present danger to US democracy.

A frightening insight into Trump’s madness

I won’t say I ‘enjoyed’ this book because how can anyone enjoy watching the slow destruction of American democracy. What Trump has shown is that even in a democracy there are enough sycophants willing to do whatever is required to secure their own small corner of power!

I hope and pray democracy triumphs in the end and that all the enablers are rounded up and removed from politics, they have no business being there.

The world does not need another tinpot dictator!

The conclusion

I am British, an old loony lefty, and I am watching America’s battle against fascism with hope that the pro democratic movement wins. The book follows Trump’s political career and the very real threat he is to the democratic experiment that is the USA which is written in a way that engages the reader. I say that the conclusion has the greatest effect on me because he writes about the history of the capitol. The desk in the senate with the names of previous politicians. The pride in that history. This made me think of the Houses of Parliament. Even though I am against an unelected House of Lords and The Commons at the moment is not a democratic institution, it gave me hope for the future and pride in the past of the many politicians who have fought for the British people.

Nothing new

Disappointed with the flat delivery and little new information that has not already been covered in other books on the subject.
