The Chief's Chief

When Mark Meadows became President Trump's fourth chief of staff on March 6, 2020, life in the United States had never been better.  Unemployment was at an all-time low, and the stock market was at an all-time high.  During his first three years in office, President Trump had kept more of his campaign promises than any president in modern history, and that record of success was only going to continue.

By all accounts, he was going to sail to victory with the case of a Democrat getting interviewed on CNN.  Not even the dirtiest electoral tricks could stop him.

Then, in what seemed like the blink of an eye, a deadly coronavirus arrived on our shores, almost certainly from a lab in Wuhan, China, and brought the Trump economy screeching to a halt.  Suddenly, our streets were empty, and our hospitals were full.  Millions of Americans were scared, lonely, and unemployed, all while the global economy teetered on the edge of collapse.  One wrong move by President Trump and his team could have ushered in years, even decades, of irreparable harm.

In this frank, candid account of his ten months in the White House, Mark Meadows-known simply as "the Chief" around the West Wing-tells the thrilling story of how he and a close team of loyal advisors helped President Trump navigate one of the worst years in American history.  He brings readers into the Oval Office, the Situation Room, and the private suite of Walter Reed Hospital, where President Trump was taken after he came down with Covid-19.
