Until Jan 20, whatever you say Don is the Prez, and Prez he will stay! After that? Hip hip hooray! But don't think Joe is going to implement his raj- Presidency for him will always be a mirage! Come January, Pence will simply throw the votes in the bin And will confidently declare a Donald Trump win! Because to let anyone else rule is a cardinal sin- So Dems! You don't know the level of fix you're in! What they don't know - or refuse to see - Is that the Don is here for all eternity!

After that annoying hiccup last night in Iowa I'm sure you'd hear some people whining and moaning and carrying on, but not the author of The Art of the Comeback! He won't be complaining he was five points behind Cruz, no sir, he'll be pleased he was a whole point ahead of Rubio. He won't be bitching that his glass is half empty, he'll be telling his friends it's half full.
There's still plenty of Americans who can tell the difference between a true statesman and a clown who's trying to bluster his way into the White House. Think positive, that's the moral!

A fun fact before we start the review: In the first chapter of this book, Donald Trump included a friendly photo of himself with then-First Lady Hillary Clinton. It really doesn't get funnier than that! As part of my quest to read every significant book writte A fun fact before we start the review: In the first chapter of this book, Donald Trump included a friendly photo of himself with then-First Lady Hillary Clinton.
As part of my quest to read every significant book written by Donald Trump i. Chronicling Trump in the s, this book attempts to give readers some insight into The Donald's meteoric comeback after a hard-hitting recession. Right off the bat, I have to address one glaring issue I had with this book. Although the title boasts of a heavy focus on his comeback, any focus on such a topic felt totally lacking, for seldom did Trump make any significant mention of his actual comeback throughout the majority of his book.
Rather, Trump did more of the same in writing about his successes and personal life, much like in his previous two books, The Art of the Deal and Surviving at the Top. I found this to be quite disappointing because I was genuinely interested in reading about how our President came back after suffering from such catastrophic financial losses — losses that nearly ended his career as a real estate mogul and international businessman.
What really baffled me was Donald Trump's seeming reluctance to go into any great detail about his comeback despite his book being about that very topic.
At the end of his book, he outlined a week-in-the-life of Trump in the s, but rather than delving into a time during his financial struggles, he opted to write about a period of time after he had already made his fabled come back and regained financial stability.
What a missed opportunity! He alludes to the possibility that readers may find his dealings during those troubling days to be uninteresting or boring, but I wholeheartedly disagree with that assumption. If anything, I found that his day-to-day life after his comeback was just more of the same and not nearly as interesting as anything he must have done whilst climbing back to the top after falling so hard. Perhaps Donald Trump had to do some shady things to regain his throne, and writing of such things would have implicated him in some morally questionable business activities?
He was a New York businessman, after all, and who among that class isn't just a little bit fallible? Needless to say, the comeback aspect of the book was truly a great letdown when it could have been the most fascinating thing he could have ever written about thus far. At the beginning of the book, Donald Trump proclaims that he had a much better time writing this book than he did with writing Surviving at the Top, and for the most part, this enthusiasm shows.
I could tell that he was having more fun detailing his exploits and victories this time around, for he seemed to have exuded more appreciation for the good things in his life to a greater degree after nearly losing everything in his gold-dipped empire.
The way he reflects on his beloved Trump Tower, for example, could only have been so heartfelt if he had nearly lost it to the banks, making him realize just how easily even someone like him can lose it all.
I think his near-destruction at the hands of the s recession humbled him to a degree, at least as it concerns his business dealings, which was a nice change to see out of someone as confident as Trump. I found most all of the book to be a very fun read.
In particular, his section on the women in and out of his life was by and large the most entertaining part of this whole book. He recounts his many encounters with women in a self-aggrandizing, hyperbole-laden manner, and I loved it! Admittedly, it was like reading a tabloid on Donald Trump's love life, complete with scathing details the likes of which The National Enquirer would be wont to publish. Regardless, I don't read Trump books to be intellectually challenged, but rather just to enjoy myself and learn a few new things about our President, and I got just what I was looking for in this section of his book.
Each successive book displayed a bit more of that modern-day Trump we all know today, and The Art of the Comeback showed the most development on that front so far. The rudiments of President Trump are present here in their most basic form, including bashing the dishonest press and ripping the corrupt politicians and absurd government bureaucracy.
He even thought that the Trump-obsessed media of the '90s was bad, but he had no idea just how much worse it would become just a few decades later! For all the things people can say about him, nobody can say that Trump wasn't consistent in his messaging. Also, in one particularly funny paragraph, he addresses the rumors that he wants to run for office in some capacity — even the Presidency — but quickly quells any such notions of a run, stating that he would be too controversial and honest to make it far in any election.
How's that for foresight? Except for being wrong about his projected lack of success with running, he certainly hit the nail on the head about his being a controversial figure within the government!
While I am still sore about the lack of any information on his comeback in this book titled The Art of the Comeback, I will still maintain that this book was well worth the read and managed to be quite enjoyable overall. As always, I must say that this book, like his others, will most likely not make Trump haters suddenly see the man in a new light; either you like the guy or you don't, and this book will certainly not change any minds.
However, like with his other books, if you do already like President Trump, then this book will be a joy to read, proving to be yet another fascinating chapter in the legacy of President Donald Trump.

The problem is, I think I'm too honest, and perhaps too controversial, to be a politician.
I always say it like it is, and I'm not sure that a politician can do that, although I might just be able to get away with it because people tend to like me. Honesty causes controversy, and therefore, despite all the polls "People have always asked me if I'll ever be involved in politics.
Honesty causes controversy, and therefore, despite all the polls that say I should run, I would probably not be a very successful politician.

I asked, 'Do you know what that is? He's a beggar. Isn't that too bad? He looks so sad! This book was entertaining with some business tips thrown in.

He goes on and on about all the famous people he knows and the awards he won for his wonderful work. It is fascinating though. It's a good way to get inside of his head and see how he brought himself out of a low point in his life. It's written like a biography of sorts.

It seems to me the only difference, at times, in whether or not you accept someone or otherwise lies in if you choose to take the time to get to try to get to know and understand that individual. Trump as he was nearly 20 years ago. And, honestly, I am not disappointed in the person I had the opportunity to learn about.
At first, I'll admit, in the first 20 or so pages I felt as though it would be a thrill ride; A piece that would further exemplify the image that the media paints of a womanizing, uncontrolled, insensitive and out of touch rich guy. But to the contrary, I was thankfully surprised and persuaded otherwise.

The junk-bond market was collapsing. Yesterday was the worst day in the history of the Trump campaign. But worse, they reported an infinitesimal amount of money raised and cash on hand in preparation for a general election. The Trump campaign as it stands has less than 1. So this is fine, just like the debates turned out to be fine.
The total deficit to Hillary Clinton , though, is still staggering. Donald Trump raised 3. After largely self-financing the primary election, Mr. Trump said last month that he would begin actively soliciting money for the general election.
He appointed a national finance chairman and finalized a joint fundraising vehicle with the Republican National Committee. In order for Trump to win, yesterday must be viewed as the most dysfunctional day in his campaign.
The turnaround has to begin here.
