‘Hijacked Nation’ Paperback Now on Amazon

nn

The paperback edition of the Not Fake News book, Hijacked Nation, is now available in both Volumes 1 and 2, on Amazon.com, where a Kindle version is also available.

Hijacked Nation offers a virtual play-by-play of the tragedy of the Donald Trump presidency as it has unfolded since his election to the presidency. We pick up the story beginning in September 2017 when the Not Fake News.biz blog was launched, running through June 26, 2020.

These past two-plus years have been a time of historic discord in America, marked by the failure of Donald J. Trump, the reality television personality who was elected president in November 2016, to effectively respond to the responsibilities of the presidency and to lead our nation effectively through these difficult times.

The writers at Not Fake News.biz, have chronicled many of these developments and offered our perspective as these historic events have unfolded. We will continue to do so, “From the Outside, Looking in.”

Hijacked Nation is written by Bob Gatty, a veteran journalist and founder of Not Fake News, and Chris Waldron, a college English professor and Not Fake News contributors. Both determined to call out the mean presidency of Donald Trump, prosecuted by an insecure, vicious, vindictive man who has little regard for the people he has sworn to protect and defend.

In addition, the book contains blogs by Not Fake News contributors Stacy Fitzgerald, Steve Hamelman, Susan Hutchinson, and Stacie Pearman.

Through daily blogs reporting on major developments, political and otherwise, the $9.95 Kindle version of Hijacked Nation is organized in the following chapters:

1. Attacks on the Media & Other News

2. Trampling the Constitution

3. The continuing sin of racism

4. The guns obsession

5. The battle over healthcare

6. Trashing the environment

7. Blunders in foreign affairs

8. Immoral immigration policies

9. The impeached president

10. Politics & elections in the age of Trump

11. The coronavirus

Because of its total length, 775 pages, the paperback is published in two volumes at $14.95 each, with Volume 1 containing chapters 1-7 and Volume 2 containing chapters 8-11.

The selected blogs provide a contemporary history of important national developments that will leave an indelible mark on the history of our nation. We do this, of course, from our own "lean to the left" perspective.

Hijacked Nation is must reading for anyone concerned about the damage being done to our nation by Donald Trump and the Republican Party, which he has effectively hijacked to do his bidding.
