This book makes the case for teaching and engaging with the Trump presidency as US political history.

Asking questions about how and when Trumpâs presidency should be studied, it posits that history teachers must engage with this history now. The author points to the events that the January 6th commission called a âstain on our history,â and makes the argument that these events, if ignored, could stain the idea of history itself, shrouding it in a mythical haze and relegating history teachers to merely marginalized storytellers. As such, it offers ideas on engaging students with the facts and sources of the Trump presidency and placing Trump in the larger context of American political history. It specifically centers the notion of âhistorical thinkingâ as a guiding principle for the teaching of history and the study of the Trump presidency in particular.

This book bridges the gap between the controversial events and rhetoric of Donald Trumpâs first administration and the importance of contextualizing his presidency in the history classroom. It will appeal to educators, scholars and researchers with interests in history education and teaching, those interested in civic education and social studies as well as anyone interested the future of teaching history and civics.
