Publisher's summary

The unvarnished and unbiased inside story of President Donald Trump and his White House by New York Times best-selling author Ronald Kessler

Based on exclusive interviews with the president and his staff, The Trump White House: Changing the Rules of the Game tells the real story of what Donald Trump is like, who influences him, how he makes decisions, what he says about the people around him, and how he operates when the television lights go off, while portraying the inside story of the successes that have already brought solid results as well as the stumbles that have turned off even longtime supporters and undercut his agenda.

Never before has an American president had so much impact on the country and the world in so short a time as Donald Trump. Yet no president has stirred so much controversy, dominating media coverage and conversation both pro and con.

Months after Trump took office, consumer confidence hit a 17-year high, unemployment plummeted to the lowest level in 17 years, and the stock market zoomed to repeated record highs.

At the same time, ISIS was nearly defeated, Arab countries banded together to stop financing terrorists and promoting radical Islamic ideology, and Trump's decision to send missiles into Syria and his strident warnings to North Koerean leader Kim Jong-un made it clear to adversaries that they take on the United States at their peril.

Yet for all the media coverage, Trump remains a cipher. Ronald Kessler has known Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for two decades and understands him better than any other journalist. Crammed with media-grabbing revelations, The Trump White House is the unvarnished and unbiased inside story that answers the question: Who is Donald Trump?

I liked the book but did not believe the author, a Trump fan who claims to be unbiased journalist. This book will go very well in the archives museum. It covers many positive things, but not very many negative ones; although author does describe some of the various firings. I learned that Trump has a tremendous ego and probably an inferiority complex. His management style is Trump centered and chaotic. Now, I want to read McMaster or Woodward!

A little obvious, no real insights

Kesler is usually excellent, missed the mark here.

None

Was The Trump White House worth the listening time?

Any additional comments?

Again (these are redundant questions!) a bit obvious, not great insights

Objective, critical and factual!

Trump as he is, not as the mainstream media and liberals want you to see.

Was hoping for more.

There aren't many books about the Trump presidency that balance his failures as well as accomplishments, so I was excited about this one. Having finished this I must admit, I'm not impressed with how the author compiled the story.
There was, of course, the stories we've all heard about the Trump presidency but not much more that the average person doesn't already know. The timeline of events was terrible. I would've liked 1 - 2 chapters of Trump family history, business, and then spending the rest of the book on his campaign and presidency, in order of events. Going in order, with more insider interviews from friends & foes, would've made this a much more interesting read. There were many events that were not mentioned or the author barely touched. The auther included stories that weren't relevant or failed to show the relevancy.
The narrator's impersonations throughout the book was not impressive or necessary.
Overall, I think it's just to soon for the detailed, step by step depiction of the Trump campaign & presidency, and I will be anxiously waiting for that.

A great book as always

A wonderful book! But then again when have you ever listened to a Ronald Kessler book and not loved it!
All of his books are very informative and very interesting including this one, which is the only one I have found to be completely unvarnished and unbiased towards President Trump. All other books try and paint President Trump as a traitor towards America.! As always I cannot wait until Ronald Kessler’s next book comes out.

Very Interesting!

Since his arrival to the political arena, President Trump was never given a chance! He did so many great things! Thank you for bringing them to light in this book!
