Whether you love or hate Donald Trump, this book is light-years ahead of what current Presidential hopefuls are passing off as their "vision".

This book keeps celebrity name-dropping to a minimum (a weakness of other Trump books), and has specific, well-thought and referenced ideas on economics, trade, foreign policy, education, and crime. The tone and style of the book is in in the Trump mode: refreshingly brash and straightforward.

Forget the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" public persona, get the book, and enjoy.

I am not an American citizen but, I have always been interested in why some people succeed and what they have done to be successful. Well, in reading Donald Trump's book I came away with a clear understanding (I have read his other boks as well)why Mr. Trump is a very successful man. First, he is a take charge guy. When there are problems he meets them head on. The impression you get in reading his book is that of a man who dosn't like problems to fester. He likes to solve things right away in the most efficient manner possible. Moreover, he is a realist, which is to mean that he faces facts. This can be seen in his chapters on The Safe Streets We Deserve, The Foreign Policy We Deserve, and Freedom From Terrorism. He tells things exaclty the way they are. Another characteristic of Donald Trump although this may seem obvious is that this is a very serious man. He cares about his country. He is a very results oriented person who wants to succeed. You can see this throughout the whole book. Personally, I found the book very interesting, reading it more from the point of view of analyzing his personality. I've come away concluding that this is one very tough man, who is very smart, no-nonsense, with the attitude of "lets get down to business and do what has to be done." And to top it all off, he knows people. He seems to have the instict or talent to hire the right people around him. A very important trait for any successful person to have. It seems to me, he would make quite a President.

It's about time a guy like Donald Trump published this book. Whether you love him, hate him, or want him to fix his hair, The Donald presents fresh takes on age-old arguments and explains why he has what it takes.

While every other candidate in 2000 was writing books about their youths, military service, or whatever else, Trump uses his get-down-to-business style to attack issues (and people) and offer quick-witted solutions. The fact that I disagree on a few points does not take away from the quality of the book. If you want a straight-shooting tome from a guy who takes care of things himself, The America We Deserve is a must-read.

The America We Deserve is one of the few truly honest and straight forward books written by a candidate for public office. Donald Trump explains his views on almost every topic from Capital Punishment to the Economy in a down-to-earth fashion that makes the reader feel that they are being talked to directly by Trump himself. Trump's book is also witty in some spots, and a couple of times the book had me rolling on the floor laughing.

But Trump takes a serious tone when he talks about what is wrong with America. He also doesn't hold back on how much he dislikes Bill Bradley and Pat Buchanan. Trump praises Rudy Giuliani for his tremendous efforts in changing New York City. Oprah Winfrey, Trump's first choice for Vice President, is also applauded for getting millions of Americans to read. All in all, Donald Trump writes an excellent book about what he would do as President. And if Trump truly believes in giving the American Dream to every citizen, he will make a great Chief Executive.

Trump is the kind of person that doesn't wait around, but fixes problem when they happen. Unfortunately, governments tend to procrastinate until something tragic happens, and then they are forced to change something, hopefully for better. In this book, you learn Trump's political views. He expresses his beliefs on economics, trade, education, crime, terrorism, and foreign policy.

At first, I had no idea what to expect of him, but he really surprised me. He knows what he is talking about. For example, he thinks that our country should be run by a business CEO. While our country is not-for-profit organization, it could definitely use better cost discipline to keep the books in balance. I think if some of his ideas were applied, they would reduce crime and provide more opportunities to a greater number of people, not just the ones at the top.

Donald Trump offers more with this book than any other book by a would-be president I have read. His plans for this country are down-to-earth. They make sense. Anyone thinking about running for president or any other national office should read this book. Also, it is written in such a way that you forget you're reading about politics. It is smart and funny and very charming.

In a year when people like Warren Beatty want to run for president, Pat Buchanan has switched parties and Jesse Ventura has become the talk of politics, it is no coincidence that Donald Trump has written this book.

The America We Deserve is Trump's attempt to show that he has what it takes to make the "American Dream" become the White House battle cry. The problem is, with no political background his arguments are weak.

Trump is using an out of control political system to play upon the political ignorance of the American people in order to gain enough popularity to win the highest office in the land.

While the book is well written and Trump does make serious points about his ambitions, he fails to be convincing that he has what it takes. Overall it was a pleasant read, but Trump needs to stick to books about business and leave politics to the experts.

I have read ALL of Donald's Books, but this book seems to predict the future. Things such as another attack happening to the US, Anthrax and talking about the exploitative nature of the US by other countries. A must read for anyone who cares about the country.

I had heard that this was one of Trump's best books, so naturally I was curious to read it. Believe me, it did not disappoint. He makes some interesting points and arguments. While I didn't agree with everything he said, I found myself agreeing with most (which is more than I can say for many "professional politicians"). In my opinion, I think we should give him a chance at the presidency of the United States. Economically and foreign policy wise, I believe that within just a couple of years, we would be back to being a leader in the world once again. Of course, I believe in American exceptionalism!

Great ideas from an awesome potential president. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT. If you don't buy it, then buy the book (or get it at your local library) and read it. Don't judge a book by its author.
