Praise for Front Row at the Trump Show
“Jonathan Karl gives us much more than program notes for the Trump
Show in this revealing and personal account of his relationship
with our 45th president. We learn what it is really like to be on
the White House beat, about the peculiarities of dealing with the
personality in the Oval Office, and ultimately the risks and
dangers we face at this singular moment in American history.”—Mike
McCurry, former White House press secretary (1995-98) and
director/professor, Center for Public Theology, Wesley Theological
Seminary
“The Constitution is strict: It says we must have presidents.
Fortunately, we occasionally have reporters as talented as Jonathan
Karl—an acute observer and gifted writer—to record what presidents
do. Karl is exactly the right journalist to chronicle the 45th
president, who is more—to be polite—exotic than his
predecessors.”—George F. Will
“No reporter has covered Donald Trump longer and with more energy
than Jonathan Karl. It pays off in his account of what he calls the
Trump Show with some startling scoops. What did the president
scrawl across the rejected resignation letter from his attorney
general? He tells us.”—Susan Page, Washington bureau chief, USA
Today
“Jon Karl is fierce, fearless, and fair. From cub reporter at the
NY Post to chief WH correspondent for ABC News, he’s covered Donald
Trump—and the White House—for a generation. He knows the man, and
the office. Front Row at the Trump Show takes us inside the daily
challenge of truthful reporting on the Trump WH, revealing what’s
at stake with vivid detail and deep insights.”—George
Stephanopoulos
“Jonathan Karl is a straight-shooting, fair-minded, and hardworking
professional so it’s no surprise he’s produced a book historians
will relish. It’s about good old-fashioned news-getting—about
the process and the rules and how it works. Overlaying it is this
most amazing moment in American political history. Underlying
it is a story about waking up each morning and trying against the
odds to find out what’s true.”—Peggy Noonan, Wall Street
Journal
“Front Row at the Trump Show provides an
unvarnished view of the deceptions, eccentricities, and
occasional achievements of the Trump presidency from
a first-rate television correspondent with a ringside seat.”—Lou
Cannon, author of President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime
“Must read: Jonathan Karl's Front Row at the Trump Show. Time
and again he was in the room where it happened. I've read every
book about the Trump presidency. This is the best.”—Bill
Press
“Mr. Karl, the chief White House correspondent for ABC News,
necessarily tells the story from the media’s side, but he is a
fair-minded reporter rather than a media cheerleader. Unlike other
books about Mr. Trump by members of the news media, Mr. Karl’s book
presents the 45th president as a complex, multilayered person… Mr.
Karl also manages to convey something missing from other books by
his media colleagues about the Trump era: the sheer hilarity of it
all.”—Wall Street Journal
“A valuable report from the scene of an ongoing train
wreck.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Front Row at the Trump Show is the best long-form study of
the relationship between Trump and the media—and it’s not possible
to understand the Trump presidency without understanding that
relationship.”—The Morning Dispatch
“[Front Row at the Trump Show] is an attempt to capture the madness
that is the Trump presidency and the danger to democracy it poses.
Aided by measured prose and healthy skepticism, Karl
succeeds. Well-organized and respectfully written before the
pandemic, Front Row at the Trump Show conveys the chaos and the
characters that inhabit the president’s universe.”—The Guardian
“Karl, the chief White House correspondent at ABC News, has known
Donald Trump since 1994, and it shows.”—New York Times Book
Review
“It was so good I was sad when it ended.”—Olivia Nuzzi, New York
magazine
