Publisher's summary

The presidency of Donald Trump marks a profound change in the trajectory of American government, politics, and culture. Like his administration, the movement that put him in office represents a phenomenon that is worth studying.

Donald Trump is unlike any president we've ever had. He is the only person ever elected to be commander in chief who has not first held public office or served as a general in the military. His principles grow out of five decades of business and celebrity success - not politics - so he behaves differently from traditional politicians.

In Understanding Trump, Newt Gingrich shares what he learned from more than two years helping Trump and his team throughout the campaign, the election, and during the first months of the presidency. Mr. Gingrich provides unique insight into how the new president's past experiences have shaped his life and style of governing. This book also includes Mr. Gingrich's thorough analysis of how President Trump thinks and makes decisions as well as the president's philosophy, doctrine, and political agenda going forward.

The audiobook edition features the following recordings of live speeches:

Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 2017

Joint Address to Congress, Feb. 28, 2017

The New Deal for Black Americans, Charlotte, Oct. 26, 2016

Trump is Making America Great Again.


If you wanna know about Donald Trump his life his family his thoughts and actions and passed this is the book to read. Lots of insight on Trump - his ideas and practical, common sense approach. If only the left and ineffective bureaucrats (both right and left) would follow, what great things our country could accomplish. Newt Gingrichis an excellent writer with deep experience in the workings of our government and presents it in easy to understand format and facts to back it up. I wish Newt Gingrich would run for president.

Intriguing...Inspiring...Amazing!

“Understanding Trump” is the book you need if you want to understand our President. How he thinks...his perspective...and his amazing ability to get things done.

At the time of the writing of this review, President Trump has already accomplished 65% of his agenda; and he has only been in office a little over a year. Absolutely amazing!

I encourage you to get this book today.

Newt reads a fascinating look into Trumps plans

I enjoyed hearing about how Mr President plans to rebuild our nation after the dismantling of it for 8 years. Newt did a great job with this book.

Newt understands Trump

Written in April 2017, I listened to this book in June 2018. So much of what he was predicting has already taken place. It was interesting to hear thought behind President Trump’s agenda.
Actual recording’s of Trump’s speeches enhanced the listening.
Some of the details about finances were a little too dry.
Overall I highly recommend it!

Great book

Newt Gingrich is one of the most intelligent, insightful political figures of our time. His explanation of Donald Trump's candidacy and presidency is eye opening. The light he sheds on the constant attacks against DJT highlights the deep state agenda and what makes the left tick. I highly recommend this book to everyone, regardless of party affiliation.

Newt

Newt is a great storyteller and this book clarifies the picture of President Trump, the economy, and macro politics of today. Non insulting , intellegent, clear, and fair in its diplomacy.
