Let Trump Be Trump: The Inside Story of His Rise to the Presidency Hardcover – December 5, 2017
Purchase options and add-ons
Let Trump be Trump: The Inside Story of His Presidency is the ultimate behind-the-scenes account of how he became President of the United States.
Donald Trump was a candidate, and now a president, like none that have come before. His startling rise to the White House is the greatest political tale in the history of our republic. Much has been written about this once-in-a-millennial event but all of those words come from authors outside the orbit of Donald Trump.
Now, for the first time, comes the inside story.
Written by the guys in the room-two of Trump's closest campaign advisors-Let Trump Be Trump is the eyewitness account of the stories behind the headlines. From the Access Hollywood recording and the Clinton accusers, to Paul Manafort, to the last-moment comeback and a victory that reads like something out of the best suspense novel, Let Trump Be Trump pulls back the curtain on a drama that has mesmerized the whole world-including the palace intrigues of the Mooch, Spicer, Preibus, Bannon, and more.
By turns hilarious and intimate, Let Trump Be Trump also offers a view of Donald Trump like you've never seen him, the man whose success in business was built not only on great skill but on loyal relationships and who developed the strongest of bonds with the band of outsiders and idealists who became his team because they believed in him and his message.
Written by Trump's campaign manager, the fiery Corey Lewandowski, and Dave Bossie, the consummate political pro and the plaintiff in the famous Citizens United Supreme Court case who helped steer the last critical months of the Trump campaign, Let Trump Be Trump is destined to be the seminal book about the Trump campaign and presidency.

This is not a novel, so do not expect a lot of superlative adjectives and gush. It reads like a journal of a campaign with one goal – get Candidate Trump elected POTUS. Professionals from all walks of life dared these team members to succeed, and this book explains how they did it.
From the beginning of the campaign season, I read many articles about the Trump team members – pro and con – from around the world. Mostly, they were portrayed as rag-tag misfits in a constant state of freefall. Maybe this was partly by design to stay in the news and keep the public curious and interested because what I found in the book were honest recollections of a well-orchestrated, seasoned, and dynamic group that never waivered in its loyalty and commitment to Candidate Trump.
It is not often that I read a book when I already know the ending, but this was one time when I was intrigued by the prospect of learning about the inner workings and thoughts of those involved in the campaign. The book is full of honest and credible details, but not so much so that it becomes boring. On the contrary, less is more, and leaving the audience wanting more is best. I think the "more" aspect will play out through the presidency.
There were times when I would have liked to have read more about the reasons why choices were made, but critical thinking skills and background knowledge helped.
In part, the book is a thank-you note to all who believed in Donald Trump and his aspirations for our country. In a few places, I could see where the litany of names could be confusing to less-informed readers, but the book is fast-paced so the confusion is short-lived.
Do not expect Hillary-bashing. There is very little mention of her, except when paths crossed.
At times, the writing seems a bit simplistic, but that is style, not content. Switching between 1st- and 3rd-persons is done correctly with the use of italic script to indicate quotations. I found two comma splices in the entire book and, given my propensity toward finding grammar errors, that still earns a high grade.
This is not a book about adoration of President Trump, although I believe the people on his team admired and respected him greatly. I would have enjoyed more of his quotations and paraphrases, but he is not the focus of the book, and I think these aspects were left out intentionally so his dynamic personality would not overshadow the authors' efforts to write a chronicle of events leading to triumph, based on loyalty, commitment, and honesty to Donald Trump and to each other.
Overall, it was an enjoyable book to read. I'd recommend it if a potential reader is able to read it objectively. As in many aspects of life, we look for and get out of the book what we want to find.
*Has anyone figured out why it has been out of stock for the last two weeks? Is it being censored by Bezos? And by Cosco?
I promise it's not a boring political book. I think people on all ends of the political spectrum would be interested enough to read.
I got on the Trump bandwagon about a year before he won the election. Mostly because I had been to several conservative summits and had heard people like Peter Schweizer talk about the Clinton's pay-for-play scandals. And I'm 52, so I've been around long enough to follow all the Clinton scandals. I knew our country could not withstand four more years with a liberal at the helm.
However, I can tell you the exact day I became a political junkie: I was in a beautiful rental house in the San Juan Islands of Washington, overlooking an ocean where orcas swam by. That was the day the Benghazi story broke. From that moment on, I watched news non-stop.
One of my gifts is being able to take complicated stories and make them simple. That's what I did for my Facebook friends, most of whom are busy moms and dads trying to raise families, and they are too busy to follow all the shenanigans of the Washington elites.
A few months before the election a friend invited me to a Trump rally. I saw people helping each other, letting others step in front of lines and crowds, folks offering each other food, blankets, coats. I saw people of every demographic: blacks, whites, Hispanics, old, young, fat, short, tall, men, and women. After that rally I knew Trump would win.
I came home and wrote a blog post describing what I saw. Many people re-shared my post. A few nights before the election I couldn't sleep so I wrote another post that over 800 people shared. It didn't pertain as much to Trump as it did to Hillary and all the reasons we should not vote for her.
My friends and family will tell you once I got on the Trump Train I never worried about him losing. I had one or two days where I felt concerned. So you can imagine how happy I was to watch the news late into the night of election day, and early into the morning after. I wouldn't even taste a sip of wine or beer because I wanted to be fully aware of the earth shattering moment of Donald Trump's election.
I'm a Christian author, and have many friends who are Christian authors, but I can't tell you the number of people who told me I was a racist and bigot for my views. I always respected their views and tried to be polite at all times. Many people messaged me privately to say I was brave and to say they were afraid to speak out in support of Trump. I still see it today. I can go to yoga and my instructor will make a snide comment and everyone will pile on, and I will say, "Ah, well I'm rooting for our President" and I will get a dozen dirty looks and boos. I don't care. I'm paying attention and so are millions of Americans who saw how the powerful elites were stealing this country.
So, back to the book. Get it. You'll enjoy every page. I hopped on to buy a few more copies for family members who also love Trump.
