formulated eleven guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest deals; he shatters myths; he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker’s art. And throughout, Trump talks—really talks—about how he does it. Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur and an unprecedented education in the practice of deal-making. It’s the most streetwise business book there is—and the ultimate read for anyone interested in achieving money and success, and knowing the man behind the spotlight. Show Less

TRUMP: THE ART OF THE DEAL BY DONALD TRUMP: Ok,first off I'm reviewing the contents of the book not doing a political commercial either way! With that being said, the book I found pretty interesting. Yes, its written back in the 1980's when Trump was younger and not in his present position. As for

the content, its told by Trump and how he became rich poor and rich again. I read this book now because I wanted an insight into the person Trump & how the man thinks and what he believes. THE ART OF THE DEAL showed just exactly that: what you see then and now is what you get! If you want an insight into the real Donald Trump I suggest you read the ART OF THE DEAL & maybe you will figure out,like me what he's doing & why! Show Less

I really liked this book. Trump was lucky in a lot of ways. His father was a successful New York property developer and Donald was his happy assistant form an early age, falling in love with the business.
Add to that, natural charm, energy, optimism, tenacity and straight dealing and you have a big
I found his reflections on business totally useful and original and underlined paragraph after paragraph.
Very highly recommended.

I first read this book in 1987 and it's as good today as it was when I first read it. The insights and the trials and tribulations that Trump had to overcome is completely inspiring to anybody who wants to go into business for themselves. Much has been made about Mr. Trump but I can tell you from

Decided to read this after Trump's recent prominence in the news.
Holy smokes, what a trainwreck. The man rambles on about his day with celebrities. His negotiating advice is apparently no more than to subdue others with the power of your enormous ego.

In Trump: The Art of the Deal, Donald Trump first takes us through a typical week of his busy life (around 1987), then shifts the focus back to his childhood, where helping his father run the family business prepared young Trump for when he later went out on his own. Additionally, we read about a
I was pleasantly surprised upon reading this book. You would think that an autobiography of a extremely successful and ambitious man would be a slog, but I found myself smiling at the author's quips, his thoughts on government waste, his impatience with anything but doing the best one can do.
I knew virtually nothing about Donald Trump before he began his campaign for President of the US, but after reading this book, I think I understand the man and what makes him "tick" much, much better.
Highly recommended, no matter who you plan to vote for.

Trump is simply the best -- this book is a classic.

Interesting read, interesting character. It goes to show that persistence does pay off.

One of the first books written by Trump. Gives an excellent history and many insights into his thinking.

In The Art of the Deal, Donald Trump ( former businessman and current president) describes his secrets of success. He wakes up every morning with a "big picture" attitude; that is, taking on several projects at once. He also knows that he might lose some small battles but win the big one.
LibraryThing member earthwind
Not surprisingly Trump reveals his feelings and his thinking and then tells the reader about the actions he took on his way to the top. Almost 30 years later he likes to share his thoughts as well as his emotions. What's wrong with that when character and honesty seem to be at his core, diplomacy,

I read this a couple of decades ago. Was not impressed at the time by the massive ego on display. Trump has not done anything in the intervening years to change my opinion. If anything, I think less of him now since witnessing his behavior as POTUS.

Look, Donald Trump on Donald Trump was never going to get a rave review from me. We all know this. But my gosh, this was probably one of the deadliest dull books I have ever read in my entire life. It's predictably boring in a way that defies even Fifty Shades of Grey to out-beige. I bet Trump
The good news is that I have *plenty* of material on Trump as yuppie icon for the article on which I'm working.

thinks this is The Art of War for aspiring yuppies like Patrick Bateman, but it's really Mein Kampf for lazy, entitled trust fund babies. The good news is that I have *plenty* of material on Trump as yuppie icon for the article on which I'm working.

This book seems to be an answer to Jerome Tuccille book Trump. Most of the facts dealt with in this book have been dealt with in Tuccille's book. We get the Donald's view of these deals and the fact to Trump the deal is the main thing. Trump only gives us minimal information about his brother Fred
