David Frum is a staff writer at the Atlantic. From 2014 through 2017, he served as chairman of the board of trustees of the leading UK center-right think tank, Policy Exchange. In 2001-2002, he served as speechwriter and special assistant to President George W. Bush.

Frum is the author of nine books, most recently TRUMPOCRACY: The Corruption of the American Republic (HarperCollins, 2018), a New York Times bestseller.
