The essential, bestselling book that first defined President Donald Trump's political ideas.

The America We Deserve is the essential book for anyone who wants to understand the core of Donald Trump's political thinking. In this book, written as he first considered running for president in 2000, Trump offers no-nonsense, populist, provocative, and dramatic solutions to issues that continue to resonate with voters today.

In this book, Trump lays out a vision for America that is strong, optimistic, and founded on core Republican principles of self-reliance, limited governance, economic growth, and equitable taxation. Striking for its similarities to President Trump's current initiatives--but also fascinating in its differences--The America We Deserve reveals a man who is fully engaged with the nation and cares deeply about its future. Readers and voters will discover Trump's ideas on:

*Foreign policy and relations with China, Russia, North Korea, and Israel
*How to fix our broken and underperfoming education system
*Reducing regulations on business to help create jobs and economic growth
*A dramatic one-time tax on the super-wealthy to close the national debt and fuel tax cuts for the middle class
*Immigration, crime, terrorism, and more

The America We Deserve is essential reading for Trump-watchers, voters, Republicans, Democrats, and anyone interested in how Trump the businessman became Trump the president.

Amazon.com Review

Donald Trump doesn't pull any punches when he surveys the American political scene: Pat Buchanan's "totally lost it," Al Gore is "an able, underrated man who seems confused," and Bill Bradley is simply a "disaster." But the real estate tycoon has some ideas of his own about how the United States should be run, and he shares them with the potential electorate for the 2000 presidential race in The America We Deserve. There aren't too many surprises here: Trump lambastes the government bureaucracy that's made a mess of the civic infrastructure, particularly the public school systems; he supports creating opportunities for business developers (both large and small); and he's tougher than tough on crime. He's also prepared to come down hard on America's enemies abroad, such as China, North Korea, and Cuba. Among the more interesting aspects of his platform is his desire to do away completely with soft money in campaign financing and allow unlimited personal contributions--along with full disclosure of political contributions, updated daily on the Internet.

The America We Deserve is an effective combination of Trump's straight-shooting personality and policy-wonk data points. As another American presidential campaign heats up, Trump raises issues that will force voters to give serious consideration to what they want in a candidate. --Ron Hogan

Think you know Trump? Read his somewhat dated but revealing political manifesto, one every thinking American should read

March 4, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Think you know Trump? Think again! The America We Deserve is Donald J. Trump's political manifesto and was first published in 2000 when the Reform Party was making a strong bid to recruit him as their presidential candidate (he declined). Co-authored by veteran journalist Dave Shiflett, it's a rather remarkable book for a variety of reasons the most obvious being his unprecedented 2016 scorched-earth campaign for the Republican nomination. The first thing you discover from this book is that Trump does, indeed, have a method to his campaign rhetoric madness. Accused by critics on both the left and right of being short on policy substance and long on crude entertainment value, The America We Deserve reveals a different reality. Trump outlines a detailed multi-point plan to get America on track. All of the topics covered in his 2016 campaign are detailed in this 2000 book proving both a consistency and an intellectual framework behind his rhetoric. Campaign reform, education, tax cuts, immigration, military defense, healthcare -- you name it, it's in here. He even denounces Pat Buchanan (very strongly) and David Duke (as an aside) for their racism and extremism (which is why I believe he didn't take Jake Tapper's CNN question about a KKK endorsement seriously, Trump's record speaks for itself). He also expresses admiration for a broad range of politically, racially and ethically diverse people including Rudy Giuliani, Harry Truman, FDR, Ronald Reagan, Oprah Winfrey, Colin Powell, Jesse Ventura, George HW Bush, George Pataki, Hillary Clinton (Interesting!), Jeb Bush (Interesting!), John Kasich (His VP in the general election? Who knows?), JC Watts, Mohammad Ali, Mother Theresa and many, many others. Name dropping but interesting nonetheless. Trump considers himself "an old-fashioned conservative" which he defines as a person who thinks people need to take responsibility for their lives and their actions, who believes in freedom of speech, and most importantly, freedom of conscience. He also clearly supports the Second Amendment, supports the state of Israel, thinks some kind of national healthcare is necessary, and believes some forms of abortion, specifically third trimester abortions, are immoral. He goes on record in support of minority rights including Blacks, Latinos and Homosexuals. Trump comes across as a libertarian with a strong Constitutionalist streak but with liberal instincts on some issues to support freedom of conscience, in other words, he is not hard to pin down, just hard to label using the narrow rhetoric of the left and right ideologues who attack him most severely. The book, of course, is from 2000 and many of the issues he discusses have evolved in the legislative process. But some still rage and others, like terrorism and the economy, not only remain national issues, they have developed into national crises. In this Trump is surprisingly prescient, predicting a 9-11 type attack on America and the rise of China. Think you know Trump? Not if you haven't read this book. It is highly recommended and a must read for thinking voters.

President Trump's thoughts more clearly stated than recently published books

March 30, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Unlike many books nowadays, especially those espousing political positions, this one is pretty well written. There are some typos, but nothing compared to the low quality, unedited garbage recently published. Love him or hate him, this year 2000 edition is to the point when he talks about his thoughts, feelings and plans concerning the state of our country. What's amazing is that he has been thinking (and I assume planning) how to run for president since the 1990s or earlier. Based on the results of the 2016 election, and what I've read in his older books (including The America We Deserve), Donald Trump definitely knew what he was doing during the recent presidential campaign. He was and is the one in control of the politicians, talking heads, and media.

Worried about Trump as our president? Prepared to be shocked and amazed by "The America We Deserve"!!

February 2, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Holy cow! This book was written in 2000 and the insight Trump has to how America was running and doing business will blow your mind! Read this book and you will understand that almost 20 years ago not only did he see what was wrong with our country - he has amazingly in depth ideas as to how to repair / fix these issues. His focus really is on the United States of America and wanting it to be the best we can be!

AN INVALUABLE GUIDE TO WHAT DRIVES TRUMP'S PRESIDENTIAL AGENDA

May 3, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is quite a valuable read if you want to gain an insight in Trump's thinking and vision of what America is and should be. Written well before his surprisingly successful campaign to become POTUS it's a fairly clear road-map of where he hopes to take the nation and why during his presidency.
Read it and you will discover that to date he's simply following that road-map and therefore isn't as puzzling and unpredictable as the media likes to portray him. You may or may not feel comforted by what you read, but at least you won't be in the dark.
