Charles Davies offers a fresh, outsider's view of the American President and his on-going battles with mainstream media.
Getting Trump makes the argument that no other previous president has ever had to struggle with the constant attacks by an openly biased and hostile press. Davies shows how much of the media's reporting has little to do with honest reporting but more to do with the reporter's opinions and political leaning.
Davies has made an intensive study of the words and deeds of President trump and reveals the many ways that an innocuous event may be misreported. Although Davies recognizes that Trump is known for his straight talk and disrespect for the hypercritical mainstream media, he suggests that both sides could strive for improvement.
