Trump : The Art of the Deal

This is a collection of some of Donald Trump's greatest deals he's made. He shares his experiences and provides a lesson via his story. This is MUST READ for budding entrepreneurs and startup founders, as he talks about his mistakes as well, and mistakes are the best teachers. Donald Trump is an inspiration for many people, as he didn't only get to the top of the Real Estate and Business world, but when most people retire, he decided to become the President of the United States! This competitive attitude reflects in this book.

This books contains valuable insights based on the author's first hand experience in a competitive business. In this book, the author touches these topics (to name a few) to varying extents, (1) meeting influential contacts, (2) assessing the worst and best possible outcomes in his deals, (3) observing and avoiding the mistakes made by other companies, (4) positive influence that parents can have on their kids, (5) having a vision for oneself and many other topics. It will be a worthy reading for aspiring businessmen/businesswomen and also for general readers. For readers who are not in real estate business, you might need a bit of patience to read through some sections. But overall it is worth it.

Respect for Trump, the Businessman ! Trump is a perfect showman; his alluring presentations & business acumen made me breeze through most parts of the book. It's not everyday I get to finish a Biography in QuickTime, sometimes or most I’ll times I tend to skip pages in Biography cause of its monotonous nature. "Art of a Deal", true to its title I was able to comprehend the questions of why, how & what in making Deals that can make or break a person. Trump; people always have extreme opinions of him, it's either extreme hatred or charming admiration & the Author has done a wonderful work in presenting Trump's perspective without being too subjective. For Trump; his business tactics prove that he doesn't shy away from controversy, in fact he embraces it, finds ways to make use of it & thereby his bravado image. In a image-conscious world where mistakes are rarely accepted or bad press publicity is regarded as taboo; Trump's brand of bravado, think big attitude & passion for his work surely makes him stand out !!! P.S : This book was published in 1987, so like me we have to wait for his next book to know about his choices, deals & decisions that made him President of USA... Am sure it'll make for a crackling read.

This book is basically about the author Mr.Donald J Trump who is a well known business magnate,real estate mogul,billionaire,investor,TV personality and probably the next US president.The book covers his early part of life which includes his childhood, family and education and later how he build his business empire.By talking about his day to day life and how he make deals the author wants us to understand the art of deal making.You will not find a direct message or advice about how to do things but instead by talking about his own life and the way he has conducted the business and became successful Mr.Trump wants us to study the same and understand the art. If you are a business man and better if you are in real estate business this book is a must read.For others like me there are lot to learn about how to think properly and achieve success in life.For example he talks about a deal which everybody opposed but he went on because he had a gut feeling that he is doing it right and it turned out to be the best deal.He also talks about how important it is do what you love.If you love what you do you are most likely to be successful and happy.Like that there are so many positive and strong message this book convey. You may love him or hate him but my opinion is you should definitely study him.

I'm giving a five star rating because the book content is actually good and offers an insider's view of Trump's mind. You may not like Trump, but this book is a valuable asset for any business owner or budding entrepreneur. However, I'm left very disappointed with the book that has been delivered to me. I paid the full price for an original copy, and what I've been given seems like a pirated copy. It has a lousy, plastic-y cover, the pages are way too thin (you can see through text) and the ink is spoiling all over the place. As someone who reads all the time, I can tell you that this is definitely not an original copy. It's likely reprinted and pirated. I have attached images and you can have a look for yourself. The seller was uRead-Store. Or if this is an original copy then I apologise, but if it seems like then please comment so I'll make a correction.

The book was light and okay. But the quality was bad. Like really bad. The print was also really bad. As you can see , the spine gets a white line when we open the book . The binding was also not good . Maybe this is wht we can expect at this price. The book was full of Trump boasting . There were places where it was useful but was little. Its filled with many deals he did at the beginning. How to make a deal and how the deals went, what to expect etc. But one thing for sure, this book is really good for people who are interested in real estate. It also tells us to think big. I thnik that's a positive note for this book.

Have been a fan of Trump since 'The Apprentice' was launched more than a decade ago. He is a no nonsense Businessman, who goes with his gut, and speaks his mind. It's funny that people call him crazy or stupid, how did he manage to get so successful, and eventually become President. The book shows those traits in him, and is a good lesson to would be businessmen and people who dream big.

In so many books i have read, it is one of the best i guess

Llego muy bien el producto

Passionné par la lecture de ce livre, j'en ai acheté d'autres de Trump que j'ai refermé aussi sec. Depuis que Trump a troqué ses habits de titan de l'immobilier pour celui de star des média et qu'il a créé sa propre émission de télé réalité, l'homme est clairement pénible et ses livres beaucoup plus commerciaux que profonds ! Ce livre toutefois est à part. Ecrit dans les années 80, alors qu'il était encore jeune et déjà très riche, son propos est de décrire tout son parcours au travers des plus belles affaires qui l'ont rendu célèbre. Le style est moins pédant, il ne l'a pas écrit pour ramasser de l'argent sur son nom, mais clairement pour expliquer son parcours. Le message est beaucoup plus authentique et sincère. Son bras droit, George Ross, l'homme de l'art derrière Trump écrira de lui en préface de son livre qu'il est le plus grand génie immobilier de son époque... J'en suis convaincu depuis que j'ai lu ce livre. Un livre très inspirant où il explique longuement et en détail ses plus grands deals ; il est passionnant de ce point de vue car il nous plonge au coeur de ce qu'est un deal immobilier dont la richesse, la diversité et la complexité sont surprenantes. Il faut dire qu'avec un tel guide, le voyage est clairement passionnant ! On y découvre aussi son parcours. Issu d'un milieu aisé (plutot classe moyenne haute) mais sans commune mesure avec ce qu'il est devenu, on découvre un homme tenace et inspiré puisque très jeune il savait exactement ce qu'il voulait ; un homme dont tout le parcours a consisté à décliner cette vision. On découvre encore un homme patient qui sait attendre activement son tour, un homme de vision capable de voir la valeur là où les autres ne la voient pas (hotel commodore) et un homme sans concession vis à vis de ceux qui auront tenté de lui barrer le chemin. A l'évidence un génie de la négociation, stratège hors pair doté d'une incroyable intelligence de situation. Le seul livre de Trump à retenir, le seul vraiment authentique intéressant pour découvrir le bonhomme au delà de l'image arrogante et pédante qu'il s'est construite, mais aussi un livre très intéressant pour découvrir en détail la richesse de son métier. Pour ceux que l'aspect immobilier intéresse, je recommande aussi la lecture du livre écrit par son bras droit, George Ross intitulé "Trump stratégies for real estate", plus technique et dans lequel l'auteur tente de tiré des leçons en prenant des exemples concrets de son expérience avec Trump. Bref, à acheter si l'on s'intéresse à Donald Trump ou à l'immobilier du point de vue des professionnels. Un seul regret : je crois que ce livre n'est plus traduit en Français. Il faudra le lire en anglais mais l'homme n'étant pas particulièrement doué pour la littérature, le style est simple et le livre se lit facilement.

Great quality of the book and the content is even better.

I bought that book before he won the presidency, back when he just started running. No wonder he got that far with the amount of self-confidence he has. This book gives great insight into his way of thinking as well as being extremely motivational.

"Trump: The Art of the Deal" is not just a book; it's an immersive education in business and negotiation. It offers a rare and unfiltered look into the mind of one of the world's most iconic deal-makers. The book is a fascinating blend of memoir and practical advice, presenting a clear, no-nonsense approach to business that is both inspiring and highly effective. Donald Trump's principles are laid out with a powerful and direct style. He shares his experiences and the lessons he learned from some of his biggest triumphs, providing a blueprint for anyone who wants to think big and achieve their goals. This is a book that encourages bold action and challenges conventional thinking. Whether you are in business, real estate, or any field that requires negotiation, this is an essential read. It's a testament to the power of confidence, strategic thinking, and a relentless drive to succeed. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to gain a competitive edge.
