Disappearing the President: Trump, Truth Social, and the Fight for the Republic

by Lee Smith

Overview

Target: Trump 

Even before a would-be killer tried to murder President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, a clique of political assassins set about eliminating him from public life entirely. 

In Disappearing the President, New York Times bestselling author Lee Smith exposes how a shadow network of powerful partisan activists has waged a years-long, scorched-earth war to eradicate President Trump and any vestige of his influence. 

Resorting to an unprecedented campaign of domestic spying, election rigging, brute-force censorship, and political violence, anti-Trump zealots have undermined the federal government and sabotaged countless other vital institutions in their relentless quest to crush the former president. 

In this alarming book, Lee Smith reveals: 

How U.S. intelligence services, trained to sabotage foreign governments and leaders, have turned their expertise against Americans. 

How the Shadow Network exploited Covid to censor dissidents and rig the 2020 election. 

Why Big Tech firms hired hundreds of former intelligence officials after 2018. 

How Barack Obama, widely viewed as a benign elder statesman, created and leads the anti-Trump operation.

Finally, Smith shows how censorship of Trump supporters has provoked a free-speech backlash. 

The hour is late, and the stakes are high. Including exclusive interviews with President Trump, Devin Nunes, Dan Bongino, and many others, Disappearing the President is an unsettling expose of a rogue cabal that will pay any price to annihilate the one man who threatens their agenda.

Editorial Reviews

"Acclaimed investigative journalist Lee Smith exposes the shadowy network of tech oligarchs, Democratic donors, political operatives, journalists, and spy chiefs who conspired to take down a president and transform America in their image. Trump has been silenced, prosecuted, and almost assassinated, but remains remarkably unbowed. Smith calls him the 'free world’s leading dissident.' Disappearing the President is a chilling, real-life political thriller, but it’s up to America to write the ending."

—Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist and author of Laptop From Hell: Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hide

"In Disappearing the President, Lee Smith adroitly exposes the Leftwing assault on democratic institutions and values through Orwellian informational warfare operations, censorship crackdowns, and election-rigging schemes—all a multifaceted effort to obliterate Trump and neutralize his supporters. This is a superbly told but frightening story of political retribution and weaponizing institutions, done by a small, but ruthless clique of well-funded activists and dangerous demagogues. Smith leaves us with a chilling portrait of sanctimonious elites who felt any illegal and unethical means were justified to achieve their ends of destroying a political reform movement and their leader Donald Trump."

—Victor Davis Hanson, The Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Author of The Dying Citizen

"Long before the shots rang out in Butler Pennsylvania, the Left had already tried to politically delete President Trump. This is the story of their relentless assault from an author who is not afraid of the real-life Big Brother."

—Sebastian Gorka, Ph.D, Former Strategist to President Trump and Host of America First with Sebastian Gorka 

"No one is better informed about the decade-long law fare campaign against Donald Trump than my friend, Lee Smith. A straight line runs from Crossfire Hurricane, which Lee documented in The Plot Against the President, to the events of January 6 and Special Counsel Jack Smith's two unprecedented criminal indictments against the former president. But there is much more to the story of how the darkest forces of our government—federal agencies, state officials, and the courts—work hand in glove with powerful special interests including Big Tech to destroy not just Trump but his movement and his supporters. Lee in his usual detailed but readable way explains it all here." 

—Julie Kelly, Publisher of Declassified with Julie Kelly and author of January 6: How Democrats Used the Capitol Protest to Launch a War on Terror Against the Political Right
