Trump: The Art of the Deal Hardcover – Illustrated, November 12, 1987

I don’t usually read nonfiction but as I am a huge fan of Donald Trump, I thought I would give this book a try. I’m glad I did. His business deals are fantastic. He takes risks but they are well thought out. He goes for the jugular on his deals but is also extremely philanthropic. I was sad to see this book end and will read his other books. It would be exciting to be a fly on the wall each day to watch him create the next art of the deal. What an admirable man!

nice read. Regardless of what he did politically, Trump is an excellent businessman. The book was not hard; I can prove that he wrote it himself as the word choices are arrogant and pretty much self-centered. Not aiming to learn much in the autobiography, it was pretty relaxing to read about how the current president brag about his accomplishments he could actually gain without even trying with his huge amount of inherited wealth.

Easy read but informative. The title makes you think you're going to read some ruthless stuff but it's just insight into how one man thinks and plans. Regardless of your political persuasion you will learn some things.

A great book to read. Learn the art of the deal.

It's clear who actually wrote this book. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Donald worked hand in hand with his ghost writer, Tony Schwartz. How else could he assure such impressive flattery while consistently avoiding the seadier side of the trump dynasty! Read it, then read about Trump from someone who won't be so accommodating.

Easy to read. No wasted words.

Wow, very interesting book. Right from the start I am learning quite a bit about sales, negotiating and strategies.

Good lessons about the value of networking, dealing with life, dealing with other people, value of information, risk calculation and strategy, leadership and doing things yourself.
