Jack Hassard, author of numerous books on science and science education examines the interplay of politics and science to unravel the effects that Donald Trump and his administration had on American society.

Using Robert Jay Lifton’s concept of “a witnessing professional,” and Charles C. Ault’s introduction of him as Citizen Jack, The Trump Files is Citizen Jack Hassard’s compelling observation and analysis into how Donald Trump effected not only American democracy, but human rights, science and public health. 

Although not a journalist or media personality he uses his researcher, blogger, professor, and citizen credentials to create a political science story about a grim period when Donald Trump was president. 

He weaves his abilities as an accomplished author and teacher of science, with citizen diplomacy, blogging, and the local politics of Georgia to compose a history of a president and his administration who undermined the tenants of a liberal democracy, nearly overthrowing the American government with his Big Lie and attempted coup d’état.  

In the months ahead more information and excerpts from the book will be provided.
