Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump's Return to Power

2025

Synopsis

Over the course of the last four years, the American public looked on as the former president faced a series of daunting obstacles to return to the White House. The lingering cloud of January 6, a shadow effort within the Republican establishment to defeat him in the primary, multiple indictments, assassination attempts, and an 11th hour change of his opponent all threatened to derail his return to power at any moment.

In Revenge, journalist Alex Isenstadt takes listeners deep into Mar-a-Lago, inside the courtroom, and aboard “Trump Force One” to show how Trump and his revamped team responded, overcame, and in some cases orchestrated each and every surreal moment in this one-of-a-kind presidential campaign. Based on extraordinary access and over 300 interviews, Isenstadt paints a unique and deeply revealing portrait of a man bent on returning to the White House at all costs—and who successfully portrayed himself as an avatar of vengeance for the millions of Americans who voted for him.

Now, for the first time, listeners will experience Trump’s reelection bid from the inside.
