About this listen

The culmination of nearly 30 years of reporting on Donald Trump, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter David Cay Johnston takes a revealingly close look at the mogul's rise to power and prominence.

Covering the long arc of Trump's career, Johnston tells the full story of how a boy from a quiet section of Queens, New York, would become an entirely new and complex breed of public figure. Trump is a man of great media savvy, entrepreneurial spirit, and political clout. Yet, his career has been plagued by legal troubles and mounting controversy. From the origins of his family's real estate fortune to his own too-big-to-fail business empire; from his education and early career to his whirlwind presidential bid, The Making of Donald Trump provides the fullest picture yet of Trump's extraordinary ascendency.

Love him or hate him, Trump's massive influence is undeniable, and figures as diverse as Woody Guthrie (who wrote a scathing song about Trump's father) and Red Scare prosecutor Roy Cohn, mob bosses and high rollers, as well as the average American voter, have all been pulled into his orbit. Drawing on decades of interviews, financial records, court documents, and public statements, David Cay Johnston, who has covered Trump more closely than any other journalist working today, gives us the most in-depth look yet at the man who would be president.

See behind the curtain

This was an interesting journey that shared many stories and situations that have happened to and caused by Trump. It shows a side that is hidden and not talked about - the dark side.
I loved the voice the narrator made when speaking like Trump!!!

A Must read before Americans Vote!

It's a book that tells what Donald Trump is made of! Pure B*ll S**t! It is a book designed to warn us that Trump is nothing but a charlatan! A man who is devoid of empathy, honor, consideration of others and given the chance will create a world that only he sees as his own! We live in very dangerous times with him in office! He is not much different than Hitler! The narrators voice is perfectly assigned for reading this book!

We’ll delivered

Hope people on both sides of the fence/political spectrum can enjoy this as much as I did. Even people on both sides of the wall will get a lot out of this well-researched and delivered book. At he comes by it honestly, he is who he is.
