About this listen

President-elect 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.

Love the Man

I felt like I know the man more after reading this book. No wonder he is such a successful President, in spite of the evil forces fighting him every step of the way.

This Book Is Amazing! Likeable Character Who Knows

This book was required reading for a clinical Business Law/Commercial Law course at my law school, before Trump was POTUS 45. I learned a lot of good general business insights from listening to this audiobook, and learned more about Trump's family history and personal philosophies/personality. While we may not always see eye-to-eye regarding political matters, Trump is obviously a good businessman who charts his own course and still has to cut through the unnecessary annoying BS noice, which reminds me of the rest of us! You will probably see him in a much different light after hearing more detail on the backstory. An essential item for any entrepreneur, leader, or curious bystander bored of how Trump was vilified by the MSM, social media, overall public sentiment and attitudes. I had never seen anything like it since George W. Bush, who had a historically low approval rating but served most of his term prior to social media becoming much more of a factor in conveying perspectives, opinions, etc. There felt like a 'groupthink' element to the public view/reaction to Trump as President, and those types of movements tend to produce a lower volume of critical perspectives/critique, critical thinking, and analysis of the substantive material. I am less interested in the fact that he was obese, had an orange-coloured skin tone, and played golf a lot (albeit at his own golf courses, which seems like a potential conflict of interest and it is not clear whether he cleared these outings with the ethics commissioner prior to partaking in the activities) than I am on his economic performance, policies, and international relations. I am not sure that the latter received a due amount of public airing, consideration, and thought. Trump is a historically relevant American legend and his celebrity status should be directed in a manner that can best be used to help ensure every hardworking, honest, intelligent, and enterprising individual has the opportunity to succeed in the United States of America, as protecting some of our greatest and most deserving assets would like prove to help reduce inequities/inequality overall, as their actions are smarter, stronger, and more efficient than watered down public efforts that are too weak to have a strong enough of a positive effect on enough people to be able to enable meaningful embracing of these traditional American values,

Not a trump supporter but...

I’m not a trump supporter but I did enjoy this book in relation to finances. It really goes over some of his biggest projects early on in his life. Not some much about how to be successful but you can learn a thing or too about putting together deals.

If you vote Democrat, read this.

This book will reveal to you the mind of the man you decry as evil, lo and behold the monster you hate and despise may not be as monstrous, callous, vile and shifty as the media portrays him to be. if you have a credit token available, I suggest using it. listen up to chapter 5 without stopping then take a pause and consider the new information you've just listened and contrast it to what the media paints him as.
I'm Canadian, I have no horse in American Politics as it were, merely an observer from north of the 49th parallel. I didn't know much about Trump aside that he was a hugely successful Real Estate mogul, everything else I know from this and the caricature the media makes of him.
If nothing else, you can use this as a source to fuel your rage campaign against him, either way, you'll at least come out with more knowledge, for the better or worse.
A book's content is neither evil or good, it is what the beholder makes of it that decides whether the contents were good or evil.
