Trump's Willing Executioners: Choosing to Serve America’s 45th President
Simon Marks



Why would anyone become one of 'Trump's Willing Executioners'? What is it that makes a rational person climb aboard the Trump train, despite the likely damage to their CV? How do they navigate the complexities of working for a man who can undermine them with a single Tweet? And do they ever worry about being on the wrong side of history?  

This unique book takes an oblique look at the most controversial, erratic, and bombastic presidency in American history through the prism of its supporting characters. It tells the stories of the individual personalities who represent different archetypes, including prominent figures like Mike Pence, Stephen Bannon, Wilbur Ross, Rex Tillerson, H. R. McMaster, Sean Spicer, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

But it also tells the stories of lesser-known figures: the civil servants and officials who decided to enter the administration through worry about who would step in otherwise. It is through these individuals that the true story of the Trump administration can be found.
