The essential book to understanding Donald Trump as a businessman and innovator - and how the biggest deal of his life went down. Now, Barrett's traditional book is back in print for the first time in years and with an release about Trump's 2016 presidential plan. Donald Trump remarks that his success as a "self-made" businessman and real estate developer proves that he'll make a powerful president, but this disastrous investigative account by legendary reporter Wayne Barrett proves otherwise. Back in print for the first time in years, Barrett's seminal book discloses how Trump come up with the biggest deal of his life - Trump Tower - through manipulation and deceit; how he caused questionable character types from the mafia and city politics; and how it all almost emerged crashing down. Here is a stunning and inglorious family portrait of the man who would like now to be the most powerful man in the world. In Trump: THE BEST Show on Earth - The Deals, the Downfall, the Reinvention, Barrett unravels the myth and reveals the reality behind the mogul's wheelings and dealings. After ages covering him, few reporters know Trump as Barrett does. Instead of the canny businessman that Trump cases in his own catalogs, Barrett explores how Trump exploited his father's bank and political links to finance and grease his first major offers. Barrett's investigative biography will take us from the times of Donald's depressed junior to his brash entry into the market, and to the trunk room offers behind his New York, Atlantic City, and Florida jobs. Most compellingly Barrett paints a romantic family portrait of Trump himself, a guy influenced by bravado, obsessive self-regard, and an anxious ruthlessness to subdue his rivals and seduce anyone with the power to aid his empire. We see him head to head with an opposition as powerful as Pete Rozelle, ingratiating himself with the brooding governor on the Hudson, and fueling the Drexel engine motor influenced by Michael Milken with hundreds of millions in fees - paid, ironically, by game playing companies to fend off Trump takeovers. We explore his complicated emotional and business relationship with his first better half, Ivana, and the utilization he designed to label of his mistress - and later, his second better half - Marla Maples as a "southern strategy" in his then-contemplated presidential plan. With interviews with scores of adversaries and former colleagues, we receive a privileged look at Trump the businessman doing his thing - reckless as often as he's great, reliant on risks just as much as on elegance, and finally a cautionary tale: is this the man you want to lead the planet?
