Pulitzer Prize winning reporter and author Michael D’Antonio paints a vivid and well-researched portrait of the man who could be the next president of the United States.
Donald Trump is a risk taker and an exceptional businessman who built a fortune in real estate development. The straight talking Trump was born into wealth and afforded all the opportunities needed. He was formally educated at the University of Pennsylvania and the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce and informally learned the tools of the trade from his father Fred, who owned and operated thousands of apartments in New York. But it was Donald Trump’s unbridled appetite for wealth, attention, power, and conquest which pushed him to become one of the wealthiest businessmen in America.
There are no gray areas with Trump – you either love him or hate him. This book chronicles his life growing up and the author speaks to many in his circle, including some of his family members, like his children, to offer a glimpse into his life and character. And D’Antonio spares no details on some of the more controversial business deals that have helped earn him his reputation.
There are a few photographs on glossy pages to round out some visuals. All in all, a very interesting read.
