Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency Hardcover – July 13, 2021
Purchase options and add-ons
An instant New York Times bestseller.
Critics agree: Michael Wolff’s Landslide is THE book on Trump.
“Landslide . . . is the one to leap upon. Smart, vivid and intrepid . . .” ―The New York Times
“I inhaled Landslide, gobbled it up.” ―Slate
“Wow. Just wow . . .” ―Evening Standard
“Cruel, unforgiving, muckraking, scandalous. I couldn’t stop reading it.”―The Telegraph
We all witnessed some of the most shocking and confounding political events of our lifetime: the careening last stage of Donald J. Trump’s reelection campaign, the president’s audacious election challenge, the harrowing mayhem of January 6, the buffoonery of the second impeachment trial. But what was really going on in the inner sanctum of the White House during these calamitous events? What did the president and his dwindling cadre of loyalists actually believe? And what were they planning?
Michael Wolff pulled back the curtain on the Trump presidency with his #1 bestselling blockbuster Fire and Fury. Now, in Landslide, he closes the door on the presidency with a final, astonishingly candid account.
Wolff embedded himself in the White House in 2017 and gave us a vivid picture of the chaos that had descended on Washington. Almost four years later, Wolff finds the Oval Office even more chaotic and bizarre, a kind of Star Wars bar scene. At all times of the day, Trump, behind the Resolute desk, is surrounded by schemers and unqualified sycophants who spoon-feed him the “alternative facts” he hungers to hear―about COVID-19, Black Lives Matter protests, and, most of all, his chance of winning reelection. Once again, Wolff has gotten top-level access and takes us front row as Trump’s circle of plotters whittles down to the most enabling and the president reaches beyond the bounds of democracy as he entertains the idea of martial law and balks at calling off the insurrectionist mob that threatens the institution of democracy itself.
As the Trump presidency’s hold over the country spiraled out of control, an untold and human account of desperation, duplicity, and delusion was unfolding within the West Wing. Landslide is that story as only Michael Wolff can tell it.

Editorial Reviews
Review
NPR's Books We Love 2021
“Two new books about the final year of Donald J. Trump’s presidency are entering the cultural bloodstream. The first, Landslide, by the gadfly journalist Michael Wolff, is the one to leap upon. . . . Landslide is a smart, vivid and intrepid book. He has great instincts. I read it in two or three sittings. It’s the book that this era and this subject probably deserve.”
―Dwight Garner, The New York Times
“The strength of Landslide comes less from these stories and more from a coherent argument that Wolff, in partnership with his sources, makes about how we should understand the period between Nov. 3 and Jan. 20. Most quickly produced books about political events don’t do that.”
―Nicholas Lemann, The New York Times
“First there was Fire and Fury, then there was Siege, now there is Landslide. The third is the best of the three, and that is saying plenty.”
―The Guardian
“[Wolff's] narrative tends to be more entertaining, sailing swiftly ahead where others tend to grind. . . . All good stories are rich in colorful characters, whether seen as good guys or bad, and Wolff gives us a gallery that does not disappoint.”
―Ron Elving, NPR
“I inhaled Landslide, gobbled it up.”
―Slate
“The world was waiting for a new Hunter Thompson. And in Michael Wolff it has found him. . . . He provides a seamless, cinematic narrative of unfolding events in the White House, as if he was quietly sitting in the corner, unnoticed, taking notes, with some preternatural insight into the innermost thoughts of all the protagonists. Cruel, unforgiving, muckraking, scandalous. I couldn’t stop reading it.”
―The Telegraph
“Wolff’s previous books on this president ― Fire and Fury and Siege ― titillated us with inside tales from a dysfunctional White House; terrified us a bit with gut-wrenching episodes of Diet Pepsi-fuelled craziness. They were warm-up acts. Low energy in comparison. Now we get the real deal. Landslide cuts deeper than any previous book about this president, indeed about any president.”
―The Times of London
“Wow. Just wow. . . . If Donald Trump seems like a distant, bad dream, Michael Wolff’s pacily readable account of his last months as president warns that we shouldn’t write him off yet. It’s a vivid portrait of a regime governed by chaos and venal favouritism, where trusted staffers could become bitter enemies in a moment, and you could gain the President’s ear if he saw and liked you on TV.”
―Evening Standard

- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2024I found the book gave an in-depth behind the scene on the Trump Administration. I was extremely grateful for the heroic for the heads of various secretary of various organizations.
Further the legal counsel that was patriotic and realized their duty was to the Constitution. Easy read and I found the writer made the book beyond interested. I would highly recommend reading the book.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2021I didn't think I was going to read yet another book telling us what a difficult and incompetent president Trump was. Don't we know all that already? But after seeing the author, Michael Wolff, on TV, I went ahead and bought it and found it for the most part compelling, and therefore well worth it. Actually, this isn't a terribly well-written book - you can tell it was written very quickly and not well edited. But after three books on Trump, I do believe that Wolff has myriad sources, even from within the Trump camp - no, probably mostly from within the Trump camp - and a closer look at how this improbable president behaved during the 2020 campaign and after was definitely eye-opening - and depressing. What was particularly interesting was the picture that emerges of Rudy Giuliani. Again, it's been clear for a while to most attentive observers that Giuliani has deteriorated into a greedy, hysterical and according to Wolff boozy, non-lawyer whom the professionals - and there were some - in the White House - struggled to keep away from the President, to little avail as at the end Trump (or maybe always) only wanted people around him who would echo his every thought. Giuliani appears to have been the main person stoking the president's "I won, I won" with all his undocumented fraud charges. The only chapter I didn't like - found myself rushing through it - was that on the second impeachment which Wolff rightly (I think) says was a terrible mistake, stimulating the Republicans in Congress to rally around Trump and allowing him to avoid the obscurity his last days in office seemed to be promising. Wolff depict's Trump's entourage as including a large number of sycophants but a few stand out as real people. Hope Hicks, for example, who Wolff says made it clear to Trump she did not agree with his election results challenge, warning him that by so doing he would make that his only legacy. That and January 6th. Ain't that the truth.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2021Michael Wolff’s book “Landslide” is a tour de force revealing and detailing life inside the WH with President Trump. It appears that, because of the huge success of his prior book “Fire and Fury,” the various aides, assistants, lawyers and handlers who were around Trump were finally able, and motivated, to tell their side of the craziness and chaos which was their daily life while they managed to stay there. And it’s a scary picture, to say the least.
The book describes in quotes and vivid scenes a president who was not really interested in doing the work necessary or required to steer the government. There was often no one in charge; there were meetings with no agenda or purpose, other than to listen to the president wax about whatever was on his mind, not often actual business; and the main objective, every day, was to give the president what he wanted to hear, slanted in the way he wanted it, irrespective of facts or truth. And so often, he just bashed and insulted people, often persons in his very presence, or on TV, or wherever, he just emoted insults and berating and neglected the country’s business.
It is telling that not until late the night of January 6, 2021, did Trump realize that the insurrection on capitol hill that day was not such a good thing for him.
Much of the book recounts Trump’s complaints about his lawyers and others who did not serve him well, or who were incompetent or did not get the results he wanted. That all major law firms would not go near him is not part of his awareness. The author even got an interview with Trump, which constitutes the last chapter in the book. Wolff gives it to us verbatim, and Trump is so enveloped in election fraud, without having any facts, figures or sense of reality—it is staggering how deeply buried he is in this proven lie, that the election was stolen.
Be prepared for Wolff’s writing style, in which every sentence must necessarily have multiple commas, semi-colons, parentheses, dashes and run on sentences. But the detail, the inside views, the constant movement of scene and event, and the absurdity of “the wrong man for the job” as Woodward concluded, make this must reading, and extremely interesting reading.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2021I read this book and it had some interesting information of which I was not aware. I did not give this book a higher rating because of the author’s writing style. Mr. Wolf’s writing was hard to follow with a flagrant use of run-on sentences with commas thrown in seemingly randomly. At least one sentence was a half a page long with various punctuations thrown in that did little in making the passage readable. I reread the section, giving respectful observation of the punctuation, but still found it a challenge. Mr. Wolff needs to have an English teacher proof his books for clarity and flow of his ideas. I find the subject matter compelling but, sadly, will not be reading any additional books by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars indispensable
Sorprendido por lo bien escrito que está el libro y la serie de datos y perspectiva que da sobre los últimos días de Trump como presidente de los Estados Unidos de America.

5.0 out of 5 stars On tenterhooks
It's a testament to the author that, even knowing how the story was going to end, he kept me turning the pages (well, screens) to see what was coming next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inside Crazytown
So, we come to Michael Wolff's final book of the Trump Presidency. An utter debacle of an Administration from literally Day One to the end. Wolff's books are unapologetically gossipy and funny. A counterweight to some of the drier books about the subject (Bob Woodward for instance.). Both types of book are important however. In this tome the answer to the question "Did Trump REALLY think he won the election?" is answered. An unequivocal yes. After being abandoned by anyone with any sense in the final weeks of his Presidency he is left with a group of advisers and hangers on even more deluded than he is. In fact by the end Trump comes across as the sensible one at times, so untethered from reality are some of them. Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell are particularly guilty of feeding Trump their insane conspiracy theories. The utterly misguided belief until the very end that Mike Pence may still overturn the election, is almost laugh out loud funny. And Trumps attempts to assemble a team of lawyers to fight his second impeachment IS laugh out loud funny. But what is not funny is the wholesale attempt to over ride Democracy and the Rule of Law. If Trump had a VP more pliable than Pence was in the end it is no overstatement to say American Democracy itself would have been at stake in January 2021. Wolf does brilliantly to mix the high farce and utter seriousness of those tumultuous weeks from election night, to January 6th, and beyond.

4.0 out of 5 stars A revealing look at the sad state of the U.S. and a demonic leader
The depths of Donald Trump -- devious, self-serving, emotionally fragile, delusional -- are well and truly plumbed in this book. My only complaints are that the writing is much too elliptical (convoluted) and the cast of characters is so immense.
