Welcome to the White House, five months out from an election that will define America's recovery.
At the heart of Washington, there is a circus. It's raucous, noisy and full of clowns. Reporting on it is a daily cacophony. Four major stories can blow up and blow out before breakfast, and political weather systems are moving at warp speed. The one thing absent from the weather forecast is the tranquil eye of the storm. That we never see.

Each chapter starts inside a famous Washington room, uncovering its history and its new resonance in the Trump era.
