Description

Donald Trump moves through life knowing that he is being watched and constantly assessed. He performs. Even more than professional actor Ronald Reagan, who twice won presidential elections. And he doesn’t step out of his role. And he doesn’t wash off the political makeup. And what is hidden behind the mask he wears without removing?

The ARDIS studio presents a new audiobook by the well-known journalist, international correspondent, and TV host Leonid Mlechin, “Donald Trump: Role and Mask,” in which the author tries to answer this question and tells how the 45th President of the United States made his way to power.

In recent years, Donald Trump has only been surprising the country and the world. Enjoying it, too! On January 20, 2017, it was his time to be the one amazed. All newly elected presidents come to the White House to applause. But few left to fanfare.

One thing is, while boldly looking into the lens of television cameras, to promise to turn the world upside down. Another is to carry the weight of everyday and varied responsibilities. No one yet knows what Washington will do with Trump and his team—though it has broken plenty of others.

And if, after four years, Americans vote for Donald Trump again, it will mean that someone has changed radically. Or the United States. Or Trump himself—and then the bad forecasts and frightening predictions about him didn’t come true.

Presidential elections in the United States have always sparked interest. But never has the result been so stunning. And the whole world is trying to understand: what kind of person is the 45th President, Donald Trump?
Trump is a symbol of positive change for many Americans who have fallen into despair and lost hope. For the whole world, his election is a sign of radical changes in Western political life. But what should we expect from him? In Leonid Mlechin’s new book, we get a description of his life and a political portrait of the new owner of the White House against the backdrop of the entire history of American presidential rule.

Trump has his hands free. He owes nothing to anyone. He doesn’t have to follow any dogmas. And people will forgive him any stupidity—at least at first. He has plenty of enthusiastic followers who voted for him not with their minds but with their hearts.

His first decisions frightened and surprised many. But every step of the new president is thought through and prepared—he has a system. Donald Trump is confident that his image of an unpredictable and dangerous politician will help confuse and intimidate his enemies; they will start to get nervous, not knowing what to expect, and will lose their footing. He doesn’t want to play by others’ rules. He makes them himself. He is inclined to make big bets. And he fights until victory.
