Overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"Scott Jennings is a Patriot from the Great State of Kentucky... A Revolution of Common Sense was directly inspired by my Inaugural Address and the many Common Sense actions we have taken in our effort to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.... Scott totally gets it and, unlike the many Fake News books that are being written about my Administration, Scott's book will focus on the TRUTH about Team Trump and our Agenda." —President Donald J. Trump

An unprecedented inside look at how President Donald Trump has re-taken Washington by storm in his historic second term, written with the participation of the President and his inner circle.

“A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right,” Thomas Paine wrote in Common Sense. In Washington, that habit became a way of life—where dysfunction, bloat, and bureaucratic failure were treated as business as usual. But Paine also reminded us: “We have it in our power to begin the world over again.” That’s exactly what Donald Trump set out to do in his second term—and what millions of Americans demanded when they sent him back to the White House.
A Revolution of Common Sense is a tribute to that mission: a revolt against elite dogmas, a restoration of sanity in public life, and a reminder that America’s best days aren’t behind us.
In these pages, CNN senior political commentator and Republican strategist Scott Jennings takes readers inside Trump’s return to power—from scenes in the Oval Office and Air Force One to behind-the-curtain moments with the key players shaping the new agenda. Among them: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita, and Elon Musk.
This isn’t just a play-by-play of executive orders and media showdowns. It’s a sharp, often surprising look at how Trump’s second term moved fast, broke norms, and reframed the political debate around a single question: What makes sense?
Scott Jennings has spent his career at the highest levels of Republican politics—and from his perch on CNN, slays liberal narratives on a nightly basis. With insight, clarity, and unmatched access, he tells the story not just of a presidency, but of a revolution. And of the Americans still fighting to see it through.
