The single phone in the room rang, & a curious Barrett answered. "This is Donald Trump. I heard you're writing a book about me!"
Barrett later wrote that Trump did have some sixth sense (& a la Oscar Levant, Trump evidently lacked the other five) of what any opposition to him was doing & often before they it did it. But as harsh & incisive as The Greatest Show is, unlike so many would-be biographers, Barrett was never sued by Trump; Trump only offered Barrett a better apartment. Trump just could not comprehend why Barrett would want to live in Brownsville Brooklyn.
The latter move turns out to be maybe the real "secret" to Trump's "success": Always try to co-opt the opposition. Barrett's book, first published in 1999, when Trump was jockeying for a pole position in the Reform Party, is replete with accounts of Trump doing just that: Co-opting the opposition. Which turned out to have few but always important occasions for success. Trump was incapable of the faintest effort to understand an opposition: He was completely lost in the stuffy world of Upper West Side Manhattan community activism.
Barrett's is the fullest fountain of info on Trump. & If his questionable early dealings & later extraordinary losses remain unknown or no longer matter to Trump opponents & supporters, we are left with this still-shining legacy: Trump "was child of the moment, with neither a respect for the past nor an instinct for the future. All he knew was what he needed right then."
This is a revelatory reminder that we elected a very suspicious character . Ask any New Yorker .

Accompagnando la vita impresariale di Trump, Barrett ci dice che Trump è uno spregiudicato, se non francamente immorale, uomo d'affari, che non arretra innanzi all'opportunità dele cattive compagnie e del litigio nei tribunali. Ha la forza terribile del prepotente focalizzato sui propri interessi e sulla propria vanità.
Terribile pensare che abbia il dito sul grilletto nucleare.
