THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER USA TODAY AND PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER "Salena Zito…. She understands you people and me better than we do.” -- President Donald J. Trump “You're going to learn things in this book. Beautifully written. Story after story after story." -- Mark Levin From the acclaimed journalist standing only a few feet away from the stage when the gunshots began is this gripping first-hand account of the near assassination of Donald Trump – and the inside story of Trump’s heartland-fueled victory. That day in Butler, had the wind gusted less, had Trump’s head turned in a slightly different direction, or had the adrenaline-fueled heart of the shooter beat slower, America would have been plunged into chaos, possibly even civil war. As a local reporter with deep ties to the area, Salena Zito had been invited by the president to interview him at the Butler Farm Show Grounds. She was standing only four feet away from the presidential podium when the bullets started to fly. A campaign staffer tackled her to the ground.
