The Making of Donald Trump

By David Cay Johnston

Book Overview

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER that connects the dots from Donald Trump's racist background to the Russian scandals

"A searing indictment." -- Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

"Johnston has given us this year's must-read Trump book." -- Lawrence O'Donnell, host of MSNBC's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell

The international bestseller that brought Trump's long history of racism, mafia ties, and shady business dealings into the limelight. Now with a new introduction and epilogue.

Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist David Cay Johnston, who had spent thirty years chronicling Donald Trump for the New York Times and other leading newspapers, takes readers from the origins of the Trump family fortune--his grandfather's Yukon bordellos during the Gold Rush--to his tumultuous gambling and real estate dealings in New York and Atlantic City, all the way to his election as president of the United States, giving us a deeply researched and shockingly full picture of one of the most controversial figures of our time.

Customer Reviews

Suggested reading for any/all who wonder what is going on.

Packed with specifics. Will lead you to more. Written in a storyline format, yet there is plenty to research in the back of the book. If you wonder if you are in the twilight world, this will help you know. My suggestion: buy a few for those who might read it. Pass it around. Don't be surprised if you come back for more written by this author. I am back for more. (DC suburbs most of my 60 yrs)
