“You’re fired!” Donald Trump became famous bellowing those words in a make-believe boardroom. In November, tens of millions of Americans want to yell it right back at him. Yet Trump has seemed to almost defy the laws of political physics. Paul Begala, one of America’s greatest political talents, lays out the strategy that will defeat him and send him and his industrial-strength spray-on tan machine back to Mar-a-Lago. In You’re Fired, Paul Begala tells us how Trump uses division to distract from the actual reality of his record. Distraction, he argues, is Trump’s superpower. And this book is Kryptonite. In it, the man who helped elect Bill Clinton and reelect Barack Obama, details: -The special weapons and tactics needed in the unconventional war against this most unconventional politician -How to drive a wedge—or, rather, a pickup truck—between Trump and many of his supporters, especially blue-collar workers and farmers -Where the votes to defeat Trump will come from, and how the Rising American Electorate can catch Trump flat-footed -How Democrats can run on issues ranging from Coronavirus and healthcare to the economy, as well as climate change and Trump’s long-term plan to dominate the federal judiciary -There is one chapter called simply, “This Chapter Will Beat Trump.” Find out why Begala is so confident and what issue he says will sink the Trumptanic Full of memorable advice and Begala’s trademark wit, You’re Fired focuses on the lessons we can learn from the party’s successes and failures—and the crucial tools Democrats need to beat Trump.

Hailed By Architectural Digest as one of the top 100 designers and architects at work today, William W. Stubbs has designed urban penthouses, vacation retreats, and country mansions around the globe from Hawaii to Moscow. In this lively, irreverent memoir, Stubbs recounts the extraordinary, exasperating, often hilarious adventures that have colored his stellar career. Illustrated with more than 150 color photographs of the spaces Stubbs has transformed, the book details the activities and thought processes that went into some of his most spectacular projects. These include the reconstruction of an ordinary Mexican vacation house into a mansion worthy of its stunning views of Acapulco Bay, the renovation of a 100-year-old schoolhouse in Newport, Rhode Island, into stylish apartments for senior citizens; and the project that inspired the book's title, a Houston penthouse designed around the color red, which caused his impulsive client to fire him over the phone. (Of course, when the client saw the finished apartment, he loved it-to the point that Stubbs had trouble convincing him to abandon the color in subsequent renovations.) Also featured is Stubbs's most breathtaking project to date: a country dacha in the Ukraine that he transformed from a dowdy Soviet retreat into an estate fit for a king. Its lavish main house boasts not only jewel-like rooms, but also a unique "hidden" bar, a state-of-the art home theater, and an astonishing underground wine cellar. The main house is surrounded by a sublime park, also designed by Stubbs, featuring a man-made lake and waterfalls, a gazebo, and charming bridges even Olmsted and Vaux would happily claim as their own. This entertaining volume is a rarity-a beautiful design book that people will actually want to read. Book jacket.
