Laura Ingraham was one of the few people who saw Donald Trump’s shocking victory coming. In her blockbuster new book, Billionaire at the Barricades: The Populist Revolution from Reagan to Trump, she explains how Trump got elected and the forces he—and other economic nationalists—will have to battle to implement the people’s agenda. It is a must-read because Ingraham takes readers on a fast-paced journey through the 2016 campaign cycle and shows how everyone who was blindsided by Trump’s rise should have seen it coming. But the book is worth keeping on bookshelves and Kindles because it explains the timeless tenets of the “conservative-populist movement that powered” Reagan to historic landslide victories that reemerged with Trump’s 2016 win and why Trump’s supporters must fight for the America-first agenda against the permanent political class of both parties whose business models are threatened by it.
