    The book that will shatter your illusions!

    Trumpsters must read this! But I know they wont!I read it, after waiting for weeks to get it at the library, it was in such demand! It is all factual, based upon investigative research by Mr. Johnston.

    Alternate Title: The Faking of Donald TrumpBy

    If you think Trump is "all bark and no bite" then PLEASE read this. Deeply unsettling, the facts and history laid out by David Cay Johnston evince the long history of a shady, greedy, and relentlessly sociopathic media mogul and his rise to power. From half-baked schemes, to false identities this book reads like a group of coiffed mob bosses sitting around a tacky gilded table trying to one-up each other with their stories. Except they're all Trump and they're all his stories and they're all true. This book will leave your jaw dropped as you have to repeatedly remind yourself THIS IS REAL.

    This is the one I was waiting for! There’s no flashing lights here, no cartoon versions of real people, no wallowing in moral outrage. Instead, it’s got all the facts you need to explain to your pro-Trump friends (or that weird uncle at Thanksgiving- lol!) EXACTLY what’s in Trump’s record: and that’s what makes him so dangerous. Full of good detail, with sources noted.

    He is a wealthy businessman. You don't get to that point by being soft.
    Are you convinced that Hillary was soft as well?

    I have no illusions about Trump, I considered the alternatives, I didnt vote for him in the primary.

    I would never take a book written by a single source as the gospel truth, when its about another individiual.

    There are so many politicians if there was a similar book written would come out looking as bad if not worse. Could you even imagine a REAL TRUTHFUL book on the Clintons

    Netflix has a documentary, Meet the Trumps: From Immigrant to President, that's decent in terms of family hisotry.

    The book looks a little biased, tbh.

    People should figure out for themselves what the truth is regarding any matter, event, or person.

    Taking one person's word for it is a risky method at best. Especially on a controversial subject.

    Aren't you even curious? Its good to read books written by the opposition, as it presents both sides to provide balance!
