Author Ari Newman Releases Special Edition of the Prescient 'AMERICA FIRST: A Modern Fable'

JERUSALEM, Israel, August 28, 2020 (Newswire.com) - ​​​Beginning this Friday, publisher MrsVanderbilt.com will present this special edition as a post-political convention weekend Amazon Kindle Free Book Promotion.  

​Ari Newman has produced movies for 20 years, competing at Sundance, propelling Ryan Reynolds to stardom with “National Lampoon’s Van Wilder,” or predicting the collapse of the DVD market months before it did in 2010.

Then on inauguration weekend in 2017, Newman adapted a screenplay – titled AMERICA FIRST: A Modern Fable – he penned in 2006 about a modern-day American civil war, which was quickly published. Although Trump’s victory came as no surprise to Newman, “Using the same algorithm from the 2010 DVD prediction, by August 2016 the Trump victory was inevitable, but the real question was ‘would he be the best president ever or the worst.”

Following the impeachment hearings in 2019, Newman published a special edition of AMERICA FIRST, predicting the breakup of the United States as a republic. The Special Edition includes two essays: UNCERTAINTY: A Treatise on the Victims of Political Narcissism and UNMASKING: The Trump Response. 

The two essays address how Israel and North Korea have taken advantage of Trump’s troubled character and persona, why his victims (mainly his supporters) are blind to his character flaws, what will happen to them when his “mask” begins to come off, and how people such as Trump ‘hoover’ once they are ‘unmasked’. 

Specifically, on the topic of the credibility of individuals with narcissistic characteristics, Newman writes, “First, assume the subject is lying and the more comfortable he appears, the more he is lying. Therefore whatever the narcissist is stating, believe that the opposite is true. The narcissist will stay with the lie even when they are faced with the truth. A normal person would admit the lie and feel shame and apologize, whereas the narcissist will not only enhance the lie but will introduce new lies and severely criticize the person confronting them with the truth. For example, when Trump was caught in the  ‘Hurricane Dorian Sharpie’ lie, he doubled down on the lie. In fact, the narcissist can be so convincing by both the lie and his reprimand of us for not seeing truth the way he does (despite facts) that we start believing the narcissist and see the lie as truth.”

When the book was originally published, Newman was concerned but optimistic. writing, “The purpose was to raise issues concerning the fragility of American democracy, suggest that a page one re-write of the constitution was needed and that America needed to hold constitutional conventions.”

On the heels of the Amazon Kindle Free Book Promotion, Newman suggests, “If Red and Blue America really hate each other, the healthy thing may be for states to go their separate ways. It may be inevitable.”
