Through interviews with Trump's closest friends-and with Trump himself-award-winning journalist and author Timothy L. O'Brien presents a look inside the life of one of the world's most famous businessmen, pulling back the curtain on the wizard of hype known as The Donald. Prepare to enter...
Trump Nation
This "myth-busting biography" (Kirkus Reviews) is the only argument you need against making America a TrumpNation, providing all the necessary details to "separate Trump the reality from Trump the reality show" (USA Today.)
Critic Reviews
"Dishes it...titillating...a revealing attempt to separate Trump the reality from Trump the reality show."
—USA Today
—USA Today
"Highly entertaining." —The New York Times
"Never having met O'Brien...I don't presume to know whether he's having fun yet. But I doubt that I'm alone among members of the Fourth Estate in experiencing a twinge of envy." —New Yorker
"At the start of his career in hype and carnival barking, the press fawned over Trump; he made great copy. It's refreshing that reality has finally crept into the coverage." —Village Voice
"An engrossing romp...hilarious...peppered with wit and irony...the perfect base to Trump's acidic persona...an instructive tongue-in-cheek primer for would-be Trumps." —Publishers Weekly
"Sarcastic at times, hilarious and irreverent at others, the book demystifies the star of The Apprentice as the poor man's rich man and portrays him as a potty-mouthed P. T. Barnum with a bad comb-over." —Palm Beach Post
"Entertaining...gets down and dirty...a myth-busting biography."
—Kirkus Reviews
—Kirkus Reviews
"Somewhere there is another country, far beyond the pale, known as Bad Taste, and Trump has devoted his life to racing through it and staking as many private claims as possible, pausing only to yodel back to the homeland songs of himself." — Michael Lewis, author of Liar's Poker and Moneyball
I think this book shows that mentally he's just a teenager who's completely obsessed with fame and being talked about. It at times can really get across that there are good parts to him (Like his hiring of women at upper management in the 80s, He was one of the first to do that in 1980s NY) .
It also illestrates that he's always done what he wants to do and by his rules.....Unfortunately he has a proper job now and that needs the kind of dedication and attention he puts into reading his own name in daily tabloids.
Oddly humanizing..
