2017 – A Trumpian Year in Review is a collection of essays documenting the events that transpired in 2017 after the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States. The author views these events through a lens based on American Founding Principles and tries to direct the reader to how these underlying principles are reflected (sometimes by their absence) in breaking news stories. The book follows the path explored by the groundbreaking book, Principled Policy that analyzed the American Social Contract and outlined a framework of how to understand the most important public policy issues of our time and Edifice of Trust that reviewed the most important social issues of within the framework of the American Founding Principles.
