Outspoken and uncensored, North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis pulls no punches about his time in Washington and how the sycophants surrounding President Trump, spineless Republican yes-men (and -women), and the weirdos of the MAGA world can't get out of their own way.

How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents is a bare-knuckled, darkly funny wake-up call from Senator Thom Tillis, a true conservative who doesn't mind a good scrap in a Congress that has lost its nerve. In this sharp, no-BS book, Tillis drags readers inside a Senate that too often behaves like a group of teenagers in a bad parody of a horror movie--heading straight toward the chainsaws instead of a nearby getaway car. Tillis takes us into a world of grifting sycophants and useful idiots in Trump 2.0, with the inner circle made up of "MAGATS" (a term of his own devising). Fear, outsourced courage, and groupthink are hollowing out the party that Tillis spent much of his adult life building, and he's not going to let it get dragged down without a fight. Drawing on his journey from trailer parks to the halls of power, Tillis offers a bracing tonic to stiffen spines, rebuild institutions, and keep the American experiment from going off the rails.

About the Author
Tillis, Thom: -

Thom Tillis is a Republican US senator from North Carolina, first elected in 2014 after serving as Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives. He grew up in homes across the South--some owned, some rented, some mobile. He built a nearly three-decade career in business and management consulting, becoming an executive before he earned his college degree. He entered North Carolina politics to rescue constituents from ineffective government, then helped to rebuild the state Republican Party before seeking federal office. In the Senate, he is known as a pragmatic conservative with a reputation for frankness. He still carries a baseball bat in his truck, which he's had to use a few times, but never swung at a ball.
