A very stable genius : Donald J. Trump's testing of America
\"From Washington Post national investigative reporter Carol Leonnig and White House Bureau Chief Philip Rucker, both winners of the Pulitzer Prize, shocking new reporting on Donald Trump's unique presidency and its implications. Rucker and Leonnig have deep and unmatched sources throughout Washington, D.C., and for the past three years have chronicled in depth the ways President Donald Trump has reinvented the presidency in his own image, shaken foreign alliances and tested American institutions. It would be all too easy to mistake Trump's first term for pure chaos. But Leonnig and Rucker show that in fact there is a pattern and meaning to the daily disorder. Relying on scores of exclusive new interviews with first-hand witnesses and rigorous original reporting, the authors reveal the 45th President up close as he stares down impeachment. They take readers inside Robert Mueller's Russia investigation and the Trump legal team's scramble for survival, behind the curtains as the West Wing scurries to clean up the President's mistakes and into the room to witness Trump's interactions with foreign leaders and members of his Cabinet, and assess the consequences\"-- Provided by publisher.

Trump claims public health warnings on covid-19 are a conspiracy against him
The virus seized Trump’s attention on his 26 February return from India, as he watched on the screens of Air Force One the first stock market plunge driven by pandemic fears. The World Health Organization’s figure of 3.4% of cases resulting in death did not represent the true proportion, which his “hunch” suggested was probably under 1%, he told Hannity. [...]the WHO had itself explained that the figure describes deaths as a proportion of reported cases only and is not an estimated case fatality rate.

Exonerated : the failed takedown of President Donald Trump by the swamp
\"[This book] reveals how Deep State actors relied on a cynical plug-and-play template to manufacture the now-discredited Russiagate scandal ... [The author] exposes who masterminded the dangerous playbook to take down Trump, their motives, and how a plan filled with faked allegations backfired--forcing investigators to up the ante and hide their missteps and half-truths in a desperate effort to prove a collusion case that never happened. The result? The misguided multimillion Mueller investigation that tore the nation apart, tried to destabilize the presidency and led, as the world now knows, to nowhere!\"--Dust jacket flap.

Vaccine safety: Russian bots and trolls stoked online debate, research finds
Known Russian trolls, identified in lists compiled by the US Congress and NBC News, were over 20 times as likely as average Twitter accounts to tweet about vaccines, said researchers writing in the American Journal of Public Health.1 The lead author, David Broniatowski of George Washington University in Washington, DC, told The BMJ that the researchers, who were working on a National Institutes of Health grant to study vaccine messaging in the US, became intrigued by the discrepancy between polling, which suggests broad public support for vaccination, and the online environment, where scepticism predominates. In most cases, whether an account is human or bot can never be determined, but this is estimated by algorithms based on account activity, which give a “bot score.” Besides the known Russians, the most prolific vaccine related tweeters were accounts with intermediate bot scores—a category likely to include the most sophisticated bots, as well as paid human trolls and accounts that mix human and bot activity. Italy’s new populist government recently removed mandatory vaccination requirements for kindergarten pupils after the Five Star movement made this a campaign promise in the recent election.2 Broniatowski warned that vaccine advocates who engage antivaccine tweets could be “feeding the trolls” by helping to create an “astroturfed” debate where actually there is broad consensus.

Prosecuting and Punishing Our Presidents
Can a President be arrested, indicted, prosecuted, and punished? Although some believe that these possibilities are unconstitutional, even absurd, I demur. For a host of reasons, the presidency lacks immunities from criminal process and punishment. First, some constitutions from the Founding Era included express executive immunities, not relying upon shadowy inferences. This practice sheds light on how to best read our Constitution. Second, though James Madison sought the creation of express presidential privileges at the Philadelphia Convention, he failed. Third, during the ratification fight, many denied that the President would have special immunities of any sort, with some noting that presidents had fewer privileges than members of Congress. Fourth, a sitting President was arrested and essentially admitted his guilt, never asserting that the Constitution shielded him from arrest, prosecution, or punishment. Fifth, the Constitution supplies a constitutional solution when circumstances, including arrest or incarceration, incapacitate a sitting President. The \"Acting President\"-the Vice President-takes over, ensuring continuity and energy in the Executive. Lastly, the Constitution authorizes Congress to supply a statutory immunity. By ordinary law, Congress can grant immunities that the Constitution itself never accords. Further, it can curb, expand, or eliminate its grant as circumstances warrant. Because Congress can solve any difficulties that might arise from the arrest, prosecution, and punishment of our presidents, there is little need to infer or imagine a constitutional solution.
