The Art of the Comeback by Donald Trump
If you really care to know what Trump thinks about Howard Stern, Geraldo Rivera, or Carl Icahn–or his deep understanding of women–he’s happy to tell you. If you thrill to accounts of financial takeovers,encounters in boardrooms and on golf courses, this is the book for you.
Six years ago real estate developer Trump was several billion dollars in debt, owing in part, he says, to his complacency and the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
Now, thanks to some skillful negotiating, hard work, and luck, he says he is back. Trump’s goal for this third book is to provide “inspiration” for almost anyone, and some of his top-ten comeback tips are to play golf, stay focused, be paranoid, get even, and always have a prenuptial agreement.
Trump comes across as smug, crude, and self-impressed, but one remains fascinated with his business acumen. He dislikes shaking hands because it spreads germs and even informs readers to “simply bow” if they ever meet him.
Whether you love him or hate him, one thing is certain about Donald Trump: He is a true American original, with great instincts and billion-dollar dreams. The Art of the Comeback is Trump at his best–unpredictable, irreverent, and irrepressible.
