From Lee Smith, bestselling author of, The Permanent Coup and The Plot Against the President, comes another riveting exposé of the secret war against President Trump and American democracy.
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..

| 0:09.8 | Disappearing the President Trump, True Social, and the fight for the Republic. |
| 0:14.1 | True Social. Devin Nunes is CEO in Sarasota, Florida. This is an answer to the censorship and to the surveillance. |
| 0:23.8 | My experience with True Social is that it practices this old-fashioned document called the |
| 0:28.7 | First Amendment. Lee, we have right now on the eve of a new administration, Cash Patel |
| 0:35.8 | nominated for the FBI, |
| 0:38.4 | Telsie Gabbard nominated for DNI, John Ratcliffe nominated for DCI, |
| 0:44.3 | Pambandee nominated for DOJ, Attorney General. |
| 0:48.9 | That sure looks like the good guys are coming around the block to reestablish regular order in Washington. |
| 0:57.4 | Am I being too rosy here, Lee? |
| 1:00.5 | I think that, well, look, John, I mean, we both know Cash Patel and so, I mean, we know |
| 1:09.9 | that Cash is not only a good guy, but he works extremely hard. |
| 1:13.7 | He knows where to find things. |
| 1:15.0 | And as I quote Devin in the book saying he hired Cash to kick down doors. |
| 1:19.5 | And that's why Donald Trump has named him, FBI, or nominated him to be the FBI director for the same reason to to kick down doors, to find out what's been |
| 1:28.3 | going on over the last eight years, presumably going all the way back to going back to |
| 1:34.0 | Russia Gate. And, you know, a lot of those documents will be found at the FBI. And, you know, |
| 1:41.9 | up through the Hunter Biden laptop, up to the present. |
| 1:45.8 | So, no, I'm incredibly optimistic about it. |
| 1:49.7 | And also I think that that's what the public needs as well. |
| 1:52.7 | The public wants to have confidence in its public servants. |
| 1:56.5 | They want to look at the FBI, the way that they looked at the FBI when we were all kids, right? |
