Resumen del Editor

President-elect 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.

Great listen

Trump does the intro, reader sounds a lot like him. Finished faster than I expected.
The book is a bio to around 1987, when it was originally released. It's also got thumbnail sketches of a lot of his projects from his point of view. Listening to it makes you realize that to make big bucks, you have to know what you're doing.
Fascinating inside look at guys who build skyscrapers, especially for a guy like me that never put together a bigger deal than buying a home.

Great Insight into our Deal Maker in Chief

Where does Trump: The Art of the Deal rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This isn't among my regular reading choices, but upon Mr. Trump's election (and after reading Coulter's "In Trump We Trust"), commentators I read recommended this book for a look into President Trump's mind.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked this book in the same way I liked the Reagan Diaries - its an assembly of working day vignettes on activities and perspectives, and Trump's approach to business and people. It really provided insight into his deal making proclivities, his involvement -- and clashes -- with governmental entities and people, and his sense of style and accomplishment.

What about Kaleo Griffith and Donald J. Trump ’s performance did you like?

Kaleo's voice is well suited and very Trump-like in delivery, I thought.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Battles with bureaucracy and the making of the 45th President

Trump Triumphs

Trump narrating felt like I was having dinner with Trump and he was telling me the story. I really enjoyed the way he speaks. he is truly one of the Great negotiators.

A glimpse at the man who'd become president.

As a Trump supporter I felt it wise of me to learn more about the man I intended to vote for. This book answered many questions and provided me with knowledge that helped me combat the propaganda and anti-Trump rhetoric. The conclusion of this book adequately clarifies the motivations behind Trump's presidential aspirations.

inspirational

I loved it. I now understand better the mindset of this man.
The narrator did a great job.

Learn from Trump

For all opposers at least take a minute to get inside the man's head and see what he's been through, what shapes his views, and why he does the things he does. The very end of the book is so telling; it's fantastic!

Interesting stories

Any additional comments?

Interesting stories and worth listening to, particularly for someone not in the real estate business as it puts into perspective the way big real estate deals are put together. If you are in the business, you will already know most of this, but the stories, particularly of the ice rink in NYC, are fun to hear. Regardless of your opinion of President Trump politically, this book shows his negotiating savvy and financial brilliance.

Great book!

It really gives you a look into his day to day business. I thought I was busy but wow...lets you see what goes through the mind of the very wealthy.

excellent!

His vision is nothing short of genius. He sees through the corruption and refuses defeat.

Bragadocious, but he has a lot to be produd of

This is an interesting book, considering it is by our current president. It tells of several deals, obviously from the deal maker's own perspective, that required a good deal of finesse to make happen. Worth a listen whether or not you like Trump as your president.
