Synopsis

The Truth About Trump is a revealing unauthorized biography featuring firsthand interviews, including with "the Donald" himself, by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Michael D'Antonio.

He is one of the world’s most successful businessmen—and a man who many Americans love to hate. So how did Donald Trump become a serious contender in the race for the country’s highest office? His critics think his run for president is a marketing campaign for the Trump brand. His supporters believe that he can make America great again. The only thing both sides can agree on is that Trump is a man whose appetite for wealth, attention, power, and conquest is insatiable. In this up-close-and-personal biography, author Michael D’Antonio draws upon extensive and exclusive interviews with Trump himself to present the full story behind this American icon—from his early life to the headlines of today.

“Carefully reported and fair-minded.”—USA Today
“A brisk and entertaining read.” —The Washington Post

Previously published in hardcover as Never Enough.

Goodreads review by Denise on December 22, 2015

Overly lengthy and frankly somewhat tedious book lays out the author’s view of the life of businessman and now, presidential candidate, Donald Trump. Way too much info on other people, especially business or other acquaintances/associates of Trump and way too much background detail.......more

Goodreads review by Scott on August 22, 2021

Donald Trump supporters love the idea that they support Trump because he “says things that most people are afraid to say”, which, on the face of it, sounds great as a testament to his blunt, brutally honest lack of political correctness but, in reality, tends to point out the fact that, if true, the......more

Goodreads review by Steven on April 24, 2019

This morning I spent an inordinate amount of time reading the MUELLER REPORT. It is not my purpose to recount what was divulged, but what concerns me most is the dysfunction that exists at the pinnacle of our government. What does it say about us as a people, and what does it say about the man who i......more
