Crippled America: Making America Great Again by Donald J. Trump

Crippled America: Making America Great Again by Donald J.Trump is about Donald Trump’s ideas on how to make America great again. He covers topics such as education, tax codes, foreign policy, immigration, infrastructure, and many other American issues..

After I finished this very lengthy book, my views changed a bit on Donald Trump. I now find myself agreeing on some of Trump’s views. His views on improving America's infrastructure

Not only is Wilentz the George Henry Davis Professor of History at Princeton University, but Wilentz is also a successful author who has won many awards including the prestigious Frederick Jackson Turner Award, the Albert J.
