Purchase options and add-ons

President 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.

—Boston Herald

i actually liked this book very much. Understand Trump a whole lot better now and a whole different perspective than get on social media, news, and other public information sources. I love reading and when read what a person is the author of, you get to know them better than any other way. I want to know more intimately , the people we vote for and his books really reveal a lot plus i learned way more than i would ever have imagined. That's even a plus. This man is not at all how other people portray him or the impressions we get from bits and pieces of his public statements....When you read from cover to cover what are his own real ideas you do see that this person is a sheer genius and even more how he does care about the whole human race in ways most will never know or suspect. His sarcasm and sharpness are not how he sees and talks all the time but do serve a unique purpose that most do not have a clue of ...what he is doing as the brilliant strategist he actually IS...BUT the more youu get to know him this way through reading his words and listening to his more intimate talks and longer , deeper delving into that...you find a person quite different from the personality on the screen but then you know what to look for and can see it there too. He has tons of courage, love for the common man and for ideas and ways to make things better for all people...more than is at all obvious w/o a way deeper exaamination into his mind that only a book ...an honest book, can give. Then when he is sarcastic or what may sound crass... in pointing out the people who we do need to have a deeper longer look at, and didn't have a clue of why and what their deception to the point of cruelty was and is ....and how he does know that and in knowing what we DO NOT KNOW, and must if we are going to change things that need to be changed...this book and others he wrote....helps you see it and not just blindly accept his statements about them or them about him...but see for yourself . I am thrilled i did purchase and read this cover to cover ..and his other books that are even better..but this was a start where i barely knew him and didn't like him at all...now i love this man. and know him and that's why.

The story of Mr. President Trump is truly inspirational. I found it a bit too descriptive and retrospective. As a non-USA resident, I’m not really familiar with the process of real estate investing because the rules are a bit different in Poland. Nevertheless, it made me even more inclined to say that Trump worked his way up to make a living and create such an empire.

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2016
Although dated (explores vignettes from the 1980s), it is a classic for one reason: it doesn't just list the ways to negotiate in steps or easily-remembered "bullet points", but instead details several complete transactions from Donald Trump in negotiating with everyone from the tenants of a building that wanted to maintain their rent-controlled units, to dealing with Mayor Ed Koch, the building inspectors, other real estate moguls, the New Jersey gaming commission, etc. In the classic "show, don't tell", Trump permits the reader to glean the tips of negotiation, rather than hitting us on the head with them, as would most books.

The advice is practical and real, unlike "cheerleaders" such as Oprah, Tony Robbins, etc. who dispense nothing but pie-in-the-sky platitudes and "life goals" that translate to reality about as well as the mat- and mirrors-practiced mechanics of a karate instructor translates to a gang of teens holding a knife to one's neck; it looks good in the strip-mall "dojo", but in a dark alley, not so much.

While Stephen Covey lists "habits", and gives small examples of each, Trump has opted to give a few large examples, going on for about 20 pages each, and looking at his thought process on each step of the real estate and gaming deal. He studies each situation from all angles and, particularly as this was earlier in his career, shows a humble side not seen in his current incarnation; it is not a stretch to say that, financially, he stuck his neck out on the line for some of the deals in this book, such as buying the schleppy Barbizon hotel in NYC. One of the great lessons of the book, frankly, is how to leverage negotiating power without overly, or too early in the process, committing personal capital; limit downside risk.

Fortunately, the writing is clean, easy to follow, and smooth as the ice rink that Trump aided NYC in constructing, on time and on budget. It is a well-written book (and I'm picky as hell about writing style)

An added bonus is that, for the most part, Trump deals with each session ethically and morally. There is nothing grotesquely underhanded about any of the dealings here, and, in fact, Trump outlines several players in the NYC real estate game who are ethical and honest, such as the founder of Tiffany's. It's a pleasure to read of the attitude of others, and the power of a handshake.

Recommended.

You have seen a lot of trump, hear a lot of trump too. This book shows a man of true integrity, a man who does not give up, a man who knows how to promote and sell, how to build. Most of all a man who is visionary and literally lives his dream. A man who understand principle and class act. I have read a lot of books, this is one the best one and is highly recommended. Absolutely a must read.
