The culmination of nearly thirty years of reporting on Donald Trump, Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter David Cay Johnston takes a revealingly close look at the mogul’s rise to power and prominence. Covering the long arc of Trump’s career, Johnston tells the full story of how a boy from a quiet section of Queens, New York, would become an entirely new and complex breed of public figure. Trump is a man of great media savvy, entrepreneurial spirit, and political clout. Yet his career has been plagued by legal troubles and mounting controversy. From the origins of his family’s real estate fortune to his own too-big-to-fail business empire; from his education and early career to his whirlwind presidential bid, The Making of Donald Trump provides the fullest picture yet of Trump’s extraordinary ascendency. Love him or hate him, Trump’s massive influence is undeniable, and figures as diverse as Woody Guthrie (who wrote a scathing song about Trump’s father) and Red Scare prosecutor Roy Cohn, mob bosses and high rollers, as well as the average American voter, have all been pulled into his orbit. Drawing on decades of interviews, financial records, court documents, and public statements, David Cay Johnston, who has covered Trump more closely than any other journalist working today, gives us the most in-depth look yet at the man who would be president.

Trumpism
-
Because politics have tended to become messy most of the time, America has a lengthy history of suspicion, if not distrust in the system. This book presents material one could argue is a frightening reality of Trum’s candidacy. The facts often do more to offer a decision making process than the hyperbole, e.g., real estate mogul, TV star, and now, without any political experience, vying for the presidency. Mr. Johnston has obviously done his homework, for although the book tells us much of what we already knew about Trump, there are doubts implied that he will be able to easily slide over into the Oval Office. After all, the presidency is a kind of power Trump’s never had to deal with, let alone defend. As they say: We shall see.
