The late author, Theodore White wrote several books during his storied career, including the Making of the President series. Starting with the election of 1960, considered by many the dawn of a new era in presidential campaigning and elections, to the elections of 1964, 1968, and concluding with the election of 1972. In each successive book, White went through with excruciating detail and superb research what made each electoral contest different from those that had come before it. We jump from what we now would consider a very different time for our nation, and in particular for the presidency to the events that took place on April 4, 2023, when the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump Made history in a different way when he was arraigned on 34 counts of falsifying business records by the Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg. Some thoughts and observations are shared in this episode of Law With Mr. Lafayette.
