Summary of Jonathan Martin & Alexander Burns's This Will Not Pass

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 On March 6, Trump publicly stated that he would leave the decision about the Grand Princess to others, but added that he didn’t need the infection numbers to double because of one ship. Newsom had no political capital to waste on outrage.

#2 Trump was not a president suited to bringing the country together in a crisis. He had no plan for crushing the coronavirus, and even in the midst of the pandemic, he did not have a general theory of how to handle a public health crisis.

#3 The coronavirus pandemic shattered Trump’s claims of a easy reelection in 2020. Unemployment rates shot up to nearly 15 percent by April. The president needed to come up with a new plan, a plan to win a difficult campaign.

#4 Trump’s court of sycophants was a source of constant disgust for more level-headed Republicans. The president summoned the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, to the White House in 2019 and instructed his aides to walk him through the presidential polling. McCarthy was the most ingratiating major figure in the Republican Party.
