In When America Stopped Being Great, Nick Bryant argues that by 2016 it had become almost historically inescapable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this highly personal account, drawing on decades of covering Washington for the BBC, Bryant shows how the billionaire capitalised on the mistakes of his five predecessors – Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama – and how also he became a beneficiary of a broken politics, an iniquitous economy, an ailing media, a facile culture, disruptive new technology and the creation of a modern-day presidency that elevated showmanship over statesmanship. Not only are we starting to see the emergence of a post-American world, Bryant fears we are seeing the emergence of a post-American America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe history of Trump’s rise is also a history of America’s fall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick Bryant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44118002958505,"sku":"9781760896232","price":14.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9781760896232.jpg?v=1715129260","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/when-america-stopped-being-great","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
