For all those who wonder, "Just who is Donald Trump?",
The Truth About Trump supplies the answer.
Drawing upon exclusive interviews and exhaustive research, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Michael D'Antonio presents Trump's full story, from his beginnings as a businessman to his juggernaut presidential campaign. Along the way, D'Antonio charts the successes and failures, scandals and triumphs, and relentless pursuit of money and fame that have made Trump who he is today. D'Antonio also details the origins of the Trump family fortune, Trump's history of using politics to get ahead, and how he has mastered the media to turn publicity into power.
First published in 2015, and now updated to cover Trump's rise to political prominence, The Truth About Trump is an unsparing, eye-opening account of the life and career of the most talked-about man in America.
This audiobook was previously published as Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success.

I am, by the way, a Republican. I did not cast a presidential ballot in 2016, and I am ashamed of “Republicans” in the House and Senate who tolerate and even defend this man. They should be taken in custody and subjected to a reading of this narrative.
In the end, the reader will realize what a small and ignorant person this Trump really is...no, come to think of it, many will not. I wish that I had not purchased this book. I wish that I had not read this book. I recommend it only to sufferers of chronic constipation; at least you will be able to puke.

The sad truth: At an indefinable point, We the people lost ourselves, somewhere out there between the intersection of fear and hate, becoming that which we have always despised, that which we have fought so valiantly against, that which is the very antithesis of who we truly are.
Like so many others, I am shit scared. There's no elegance in that, nothing poetic or moving that can be written to describe it, Nothing. This terror will without warning suddenly creep into my conscious, constricting around my throat like a silken scarf that is bound too tightly, and for that moment I cannot breathe with ease. A seemlessly neverending nightmare, yet even upon waking, my eyes continue to burn as my inverted tears drop into a sunken cavity pulsing with the ache of my nation's woes. In that single tear, I feel akin to all my fellow Americans who have endured these last four years: this onslaught cold and cruel occurrences; this sick joke imposed on us. Yet still, the indomitable human spirit endured the horror of Trump's Presidency with beautiful and terrifying patience and fortitude.
The other more hopeful truth: We are not defined by these last years, nor are we eternally linked to Trumpism. Our salvation and redemption lies in an outright rebuke of everything Trump.
Yes we are flawed, yes we have erred and yes we have fallen. We are, afterall, only human. Paradoxically, it is our flawed and fragile humanity that will also prove our salvation. Man's true beauty lies entirely in culmination of his mistakes as they dance exquisitely with his binaries, ringed with flame and pulsing like that of a sensual salsa routine.
Humanity’s true soul is seen in the small, significant and everyday kindnesses that elevate it instantaneously, like the immortal bird of flame as it rises from its bed of ashes. The sincerity of the Phoenix lies not in its bold and majestic extravagance, but in the ashes that framed and defined all it lived to be.
