About this ebook

President Donald J. Trump lays out his professional and personal worldview in this classic work—a firsthand account of the rise of America’s foremost deal-maker.

“I like thinking big. I always have. To me it’s very simple: If you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big.”—Donald J. Trump

Here is Trump in action—how he runs his organization and how he runs his life—as he meets the people he needs to meet, chats with family and friends, clashes with enemies, and challenges conventional thinking. But even a maverick plays by rules, and Trump has formulated time-tested guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest accomplishments; he shatters myths; he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker’s art. And throughout, Trump talks—really talks—about how he does it. Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur—the ultimate read for anyone interested in the man behind the spotlight.

Ratings and reviews

Total con from the con-man extraordinare. It's a mystery to me why anyone would buy his lies. I started reading it from the library and I can absolutely see why he has driven everything he has done into the ground. The problem is he believes his own lies and is being manipulated by those much smarter.

You can smell the TDS in here. One guy claimed trump loses money every year. I'm sure that guy is an even bigger billionaire, and could have done better. Armchair billionaires. The left always hurts itself in it's confusion. 👍

Straight up He is point on what he says. He knows many people that help him Know what to look for in his dealings with real estate. What I've noticed in his sample is, I see a very compassionate man, with Great stature, tenacity to Move in the right direction. Love his sense of humor throughout the pages. He stayed focused. Now, Stay focused on What You do best, Your Accomplishments while in your run for the Presidency 2016. Don't use the U word, Mr. Trump. Look to your positive use of Words ~
