So this is not just a quick, sardonic little treatise on who assholes are and why they suck. This is a manifesto on how assholes could come to ruin the economy, how they caused the 2008 economic crisis, how spanking could have an influence on the development of assholery, etc. I quite enjoyed it though it is rather dry.

"Finally, the unnerving, seemingly inexplicable phenomenon that is the political rise of Donald Trump explained--just in time to save democracy and the world. When Aaron James first published his groundbreaking and bestselling book Assholes: A Theory in 2012, little did he or we know that he had written one of the prophetic books of our time. Donald Trump was featured prominently in that book as an exemplary asshole, of course; in this urgent new broadside, Aaron James applies the tenets of asshole theory rigorously and directly to the man as Trump continues his relentless drive to become the Republican presidential candidate. Never has an account of the asshole as a major problem for the rest of us been more called for. Never have the techniques of what James calls 'asshole management' been so desperately needed.
