About this ebook

On the hugely successful hit reality TV show The Apprentice, Donald Trump tells his contenders that location and pricing are supremely significant. But in his own life, there have been other maxims: Do whatever it takes to win. Don't spare the chutzpah. Always use the superlative. Make everything into an advertisement for yourself. Whatever happens, always claim victory. Following these personal commandments, he has turned bragging, self-inflation, and showing off into competitive advantages that have brought him national and international renown.

In Donald Trump: Master Apprentice, best-selling author Gwenda Blair recounts a true-life history with more twists and turns than any television producer could possibly imagine. Towering skyscrapers and glittering casinos, a luxury airline and a football-field-size yacht, steamy affairs and bitter lawsuits, near bankruptcy and stormy feuds -- all this and more are part of the life of Trump.

An adaptation and update of her definitive biography, The Trumps, this new book provides fresh material on Donald Trump's brushes with bankruptcy, mammoth construction projects, and ever-expanding place in American life. Drawing on recent interviews with the celebrated real estate magnate, his associates, his rivals, and contestants from his television show, Blair offers new insight into the man who seems to have it all. For the first time, we also get a glimpse of the person who will ultimately decide the fate of the Trump brand: Donald Trump, Jr., the real-life apprentice who hopes to put his own imprint on his father's empire.

Ratings and reviews

Mr. Trump is a successful business man. He'll be a successful President also. Vote for Donald Trump if you want to make America Great Again and bring Pride back to the United States. I say give him a chance if he doesn't work out as President you don't have to re-elect him. Vote for Donald Trump! Mr. Trump you have my full support also!

You have my full support. There is no one better to be president. Hillary and Obama are jokes and a disaster to America! I can't believe people was ignorant enough to vote Obama in twice and now the want his mini me Hillary, please tell me people are smarter than that after seeing how Obama has done to our country, especially our military.

I hate him because he is rasies
