Summary
Abraham Lincoln and Donald Trump are two of a kind despite terms in office separated by 150-plus years. Both encountered a biased press and deeply divisive political environments after being elected with less than 50 percent of the popular vote. Each was viewed as an ill-equipped outlier and accompanied to office by first ladies ostracized by Washington's elite.
Lincoln was known by those closest to him for his supreme self-confidence, inexhaustible ambition, mean streak, braggadocio, arrogance, vanity, and knack for thriving amid conflict. Ditto Trump. Born to Fight shows that Trump is better understood through the many parallels linking him to Lincoln.

The juxtaposition of Trump with Lincoln could, stress on could, have been really useful and thought provoking. As written this text is worthy of a 10 year old. All description and the odd comment...
A missed opportunity to bring a new perspective based on research and academic rigour. Instead, for me, the worst book read so far this century. Just awful. And that's a great shame.
Shockingly banal.
