"Lee Smith is a great American patriot who has understood, from the very beginning, that the radical left is the true THREAT TO DEMOCRACY."—Donald Trump, former president of the United States From Lee Smith, bestselling author of, The Permanent Coup and The Plot Against the President, comes another riveting exposé of the secret war against President Trump and American democracy. Even before a would-be killer tried to murder President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, a clique of political assassins set about eliminating him from public life entirely. In Disappearing the President, New York Times bestselling author Lee Smith exposes how a shadow network of powerful partisan activists has waged a years-long, scorched-earth war to eradicate President Trump and any vestige of his influence. Resorting to an unprecedented campaign of domestic spying, election rigging, brute-force censorship, and political violence, anti-Trump zealots have undermined the federal government and sabotaged countless other vital institutions in their relentless quest to crush the former president. In this alarming book, Lee Smith reveals: How U.S. intelligence services, trained to sabotage foreign governments and leaders, have turned their expertise against Americans. How the Shadow Network exploited Covid to censor dissidents and rig the 2020 election. Why Big Tech firms hired hundreds of former intelligence officials after 2018. How Barack Obama, widely viewed as a benign elder statesman, created and leads the anti-Trump operation.Finally, Smith shows how censorship of Trump supporters has provoked a free-speech backlash. The hour is late, and the stakes are high. Including exclusive interviews with President Trump, Devin Nunes, Dan Bongino, and many others, Disappearing the President is an unsettling expose of a rogue cabal that will pay any price to annihilate the one man who threatens their agenda.
