Publisher's summary

Barbara A. Res worked directly with Donald Trump for 18 years on some of his biggest projects and had nearly unlimited access to him. Trump selected Res to be in charge of construction of Trump Tower, his greatest success as a developer. In this insider’s look at how the ambitious real estate developer became the most divisive president in recent US history, Res takes us into closed-door meetings, boardrooms, limo rides, and helicopter flights to really understand what makes him tick and show us why his claim to be a great dealmaker and savvy businessman is just a mirage.

No one with this kind of access to Trump during his formative years as a developer has ever written so completely about who he is away from the cameras. It’s no wonder that when the media are looking for someone who really understands Trump, they turn to Res. Candid, personal, and deeply perceptive, Res shines new light on the man whose depravity has put us all - and democracy itself - in danger.

More proof 45 is unqualified to be President

Yet more credible evidence that 45 is amoral, unethical, untrustworthy worthy, incompetent and down right unfit to be president of these United States.

Interesting perspective - terribly read

Mrs. Res has a lot of information and a great perspective to share. However, the narration is so “sing-song” that it distracts measurably from the listener’s ability to absorb that information.

I am replacing my audio version of this book with the actual book.

The care and feeding of malignant delusions

Well written. Great background showing how Trump's basic personality were based on the the state of the culture of the 1950s definitions of "strong men" decorative and submissive women; appearances vs reality. Details how the behaviors exposed in two election campaigns and single term presidency revealed exactly what made him both dangerous and desperate . Devoid of the capacity to differentiate the true vs the false , he must be surrounded by people who agree with him or face humiliation, job loss and vengeance. The more power, the greater the delusions and intolerance became. These behaviors and character issues have always been evident but have worsened through the years.Mamy examples of stories from his business life in construction and real estate are evident in parallel behaviors witnesses from his entry yo the race through to the campaign of 2020. The author is Insightful. Clear. Perceptive. Courageous.

"The True Personality" of Donald Trump

How some wealthy developers "bully" their way to the top, stepping on honest, hard working tenants & sub-contractors, destroying the lives of many innocent people.

Honest account from a woman of tremendous integrity.

Incredible examples of Trump’s horrific cruelty. Never boring. Always insightful. The narrator was splendid. A perfect match for the author’s point of view.

What stood out to me? The most was the fact of what a piece of crap and narcissistic person he is.

This is a great book. Some may call it fiction, but I believe this to be mostly nonfiction. It brings to light money, fame, and power can be abused by a single person.

Quick read quick write

No doubt Ms. Res knew DJT was a wart on the nose of society!
I only wish the world could have know earlier and saved us all from his wickedness.

Now, Everything makes sense!

I believe EVERYTHING that she said, in addition to Mary Trump's description of what Trump and his father were like. I could see the things the things that this author was speaking about. It explains so, much and it was terrifying! And he proved up to the very end his, narcissism and his willingness to tear everything down in his wake. I've never seen anything like it before, and I am thankful, beyond words that people like that usually, are responsible for their own downfall! And he was responsible for his.
