The Trump Revolt: Putting America First in a Woke World dives into the heart of one of America's most defining cultural conflicts. In this compelling exploration, political analyst James T. Wallace unpacks the powerful clash between the America First movement, driven by nationalism and traditional values, and the surge of woke politics, advocating for social justice, inclusivity, and systemic reform.
