Still finding Trump to be 'too much' to handle? Not in this book. Trumping the Media puts media representations, alterations, and power relations related to the ex-President in one place, ready for a critical and cultural reading of an era yet-to-be gone by that remains to be understood in terms of the realities of today's political, journalistic, and entertainment realms. This book is both accessible and deep.

From the shock jocks of the 1990s to Fox News and social media, Donald Trump's election relied on a right-wing media revolution. Michael Mario Albrecht leaves nothing out in his study of American media in the Age of Trump, challenging us to think of the media as more than Twitter and TV. The revolution has infiltrated professional wrestling, celebrity gossip, and once apolitical activism. It has changed everything about American politics, and journalism will never be the same. Trumping the Media is a must read for those in search of truth in the post-truth era.
