Trumped!
The Inside Story of the Real Donald Trump – His Cunning Rise and Spectacular Fall
By: John R. O’Donnell, James Rutherford
Narrated by: Kevin Pierce
This book was published in 1991 and gives the reader insight into how Trump does his business, treats his staff, his fans, the law surrounding his business, his personal feelings about minorities, marriage, women, and so much more. It’s quite obvious that he has not changed in his thinking in all these years.
He doesn’t seem to have any real business sense and made deals based on what he wanted and assumed having his name on something would make it more valuable than it really would be. He had smart advisors but wouldn’t take their advice if it was going to counter his plans at all or suggest changes. He wanted to look good and that was his only reality.
His behavior toward others was shocking, especially those closest to him at work. He was also very rude and inconsiderate to fans, even children. One of the worst parts of the book was when he almost killed a champion racing foal through his impatience and staggering lack of any compassion! I hated Trump before but now I hate him more which I didn’t think was possible!
His temper tantrums are on full display, physically destroying things because he wasn’t happy about some small insignificant thing. Most children would be out of that stage by age 3 at most!
The flaunting of his women especially around his wife and kids was just cruel. But we know now that this still goes on.
Two of his managers died in a helicopter crash and one was a hard working young man that helped Trump a great deal but Trump changed the story and said he almost took that flight with them which was never the case. He wanted the story to be about him and not about the death of the men. He later criticized the two men whenever something went wrong that it was one of their projects, but it was something Trump forced them to do! He never excepted no for an answer.
This book takes you behind the scenes and shows you more of Trump than what you even see on TV. He seems to be the same self centered bully that he was in the late 1980’s and 1990. He has not learned from his mistakes but taken his failing business style and used it on our country. He has taken his racism and sexist attitude and found followers.
May America come to it’s senses soon and rid itself of trumpism so we can move on!
The narration was excellent!
I received this book from Freeaudiblecodes.
