The Shameful 100 Days of Trump: January 20 - April 29, 2025 is a searing and timely political chronicle by Merritt H. Cohen, MD, FACS-an acclaimed physician, writer, and lifelong observer of American democracy. In gripping, day-by-day entries, Dr. Cohen documents the chaos, corruption, and authoritarian overreach of Donald Trump's unprecedented second term. From mass deportations to reckless tariffs, from the dismantling of federal agencies to assaults on diversity, equity, and inclusion, these first 100 days reveal a presidency consumed by power rather than people. With sharp insight and historical perspective, Cohen warns of the dangers of unchecked executive authority-reminding readers of Lord Acton's timeless truth: "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." This book is more than political commentary-it is a firsthand record, a call to vigilance, and a reminder that democracy's survival depends on accountability and truth. Whether you are a student of history, a political observer, or a concerned citizen, The Shameful 100 Days of Trump offers an urgent and eye-opening perspective on the state of America's fragile democracy.
