At the heart of Bob Gatty’s Lean to the Left podcast episodes are interviews with authors around the world who discuss, not only their books, but the key social issues that their books address. So, in the Lean to the Left Book Club, we will provide links to many of those books that you just might enjoy. This section is still under construction.
Hijacked Nation-Donald Trump's Attack on America's Greatness - the Sequel
Lean to the Left Book Reveals Trump’s ‘Hijacking’ of America
Hijacked Nation, Donald Trump’s attack on America’s greatness tracks key developments from the Donald Trump presidency, his subsequent election loss denial, and the aftermath with President Joe Biden’s decision to step aside in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris through essays from Lean to the Left.
These past years have been marked by discord following Trump’s refusal to accept defeat in 2020, his role in encouraging the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, and the aftermath of those developments, including his felony convictions related to his election loss denial and hush money payments to adult sex queen Stormy Daniels.
Hijacked Nation is written by journalist Bob Gatty, founder and editor of the Lean to the Left blogsite (www.leantotheleft.net), and host of its companion Lean to the Left podcast, and C J Waldron, a college English professor, writer, and analyst. Together, with contributions from writer V. Susan Hutchinson, they call out the mean presidency – and subsequent candidacy – of Donald Trump.
Hijacked Nation is must-reading for anyone concerned about the damage wreaked upon our nation by Trump and the Republican party, which he effectively hijacked to do his bidding. It is available now online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and elsewhere. Review and order here.
