Stephen F. Knott

“Steve Knott has both a magisterial knowledge of the US presidency and a deep loyalty to truly American ideals. Both of these virtues shine from every page of this book, which should be read by anyone who cares about trust and decency

Spent the bulk of the weekend at my alma mater Assumption University for a Board of Trustees meeting. Really honored to give back to the place that changed my life. I never imagined when I graduated decades ago that I’d have this opportunity.

Had a great time speaking at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics on 'Conspirator in Chief.' Bonus feature: reconnecting with old friends and former students.... imd0mxanj2.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ssr/watch/6a...

…The two leaders then proceeded to announce that both documents were null and void.

Add hypocrisy to the MAGA portfolio.

Traveled to DC for an interview with CBS Washington Bureau Chief Major Garrett. We discussed my book, ‘Conspirator in Chief.’ Interview to air soon…. Here’s a teaser: www.cbsnews.com/video/conspi...

Making 🇧🇼 Botswana Great Again

Re the nation’s 250th birthday: the American founders would weep to see what has happened to our republic.

George Washington abhorred self interested, unprincipled, demagogues.

Yearning for the day, which existed for most of the nation’s history, when Presidents did not suffer from diarrhea of the mouth.

With my favorite editor @dwcongdon.com David is a senior editor at @univpressofkansas.bsky.social They publish the best works on American politics and government, American political thought, and American political history.

An insult to a republic celebrating 250 years as a nation.

Barry Blitt, The New Yorker

Haha, a more fitting logo for Google.

The best and the brightest at the helm of the American government.

Perfection.

Each day brings a fresh assault on the few remaining vestiges of national honor.

A portion of my interview with the former Archivist of the United States, Colleen Shogan, on presidents and conspiracy mongering — those who succumbed to the temptation to exploit conspiracy theories and those who did not…. Our current president is the reigning champion.

The new ‘60 Minutes’ hire is having a hard time making a distinction between who is good and who is bad. If you’re struggling with this distinction under Trump, then anything you have to say about the current scene is worthless.

A conversation on presidents and conspiracies with Jeffrey Rosen Emeritus CEO of the National Constitution Center and a contributing writer at "The Atlantic." It's always a pleasure to speak to someone who has closely read your work. youtu.be/ljcTO-GFAyM?...

This criminal act of election interference was allowed to go unpunished by the Supreme Court in ‘Trump v. U.S.’ A stain on the rule of law that should forever tarnish the reputation of the Roberts Court.

This is antithetical to everything a republic stands for….

Only if it’s a Rushmore of presidential losers. He can join Andrew Johnson, James Buchanan, and Dick Nixon.

My 20th year teaching in the Masters in American History and Government program at Ashland University. These educators are engaged in teaching civics and history, and I am truly grateful for their vital work in our nation’s classrooms. Increased civic awareness is essential to saving our republic.

A good review of my latest book from the ‘Washington Independent Review of Books.’

Well worth a read as we approach our 250th birthday. President’s can choose to appeal to our better angels, or they can do what Trump does….

This is U.S. capitulation at Versailles. President Trump is the weakest president in American history. He makes the worst of our presidents look like George Washington in comparison.

This administration is making historical ignorance great again.

My interview on American POTUS. Some American presidents have engaged in reckless conspiracy-mongering about their political opponents in an effort to increase their power and privilege. Our current president, needless to say, stands in a league of his own. americanpotus.org/episode-info...
