"On a Sunday morning in May, 2009, Rodrigo Rosenberg, a wealthy, charismatic lawyer was gunned down near his home in Guatemala City. Nothing unusual in that, as the country was suffering one of the highest homicide rates in the world. What was extraordinary was that he knew he was going to be killed. . . . Two of Rosenberg’s clients had been murdered a few weeks before. He was driven to investigate a case which, he told his friends, he feared would lead to his death. A video he recorded days before he died accused the president of his murder. Uploaded to YouTube, it nearly brought down the government. Thousands took to the street in protest."

"...what does not seem at all like business as usual is the astonishing
lengths Trump's allies go to make sure that his will is obeyed down to
the smallest detail. 'You've Been Trumped' is a potent study of the
intimidating power of money not in theory but on the ground, an
examination of how a wealthy man with a boundless sense of entitlement
can strong-arm all opposition without really breaking a sweat."
