The Making of Donald Trump by David Clay Johnston

“The Making of Donald Trump” by David Cay Johnston is a compilation of nearly three decades of reporting on the business big shot and now US presidential nominee from Republican Party, Donald Trump.

Whatever may be the style of working of Donald Trump, but the fact that he has risen to power and prominence, cannot be ignored. The book “The Making of Donald Trump” takes a revealingly close look as to what it is like to be Donald Trump.

The Pulitzer Prize-Winning Investigative reporter, Johnston, covers the life of Trump since when he was a boy, spending time in the quiet and beautiful place of Queens, NY. This boy went on to become an entirely complex and new breed of public figure.

There is no second thought that, Trump makes his presence felt in whatever he do and wherever he goes. Whether it is establishing a business empire or giving the opposition parties a run for their money in the race to become the next president of United States.

Trump is a man of great entrepreneurial spirit, media savvy and political clout. The successful career of Trump is not without controversies and legal troubles, the majority of which have been created by his own vociferous nature and daring attitude towards life.

Born in a family of real estate businessman to establishing his own business empire than has grown way too big to fail in infinity, from his early career and educational life, to the storm created by him as a Republican nominee, “The Making of Donald Trump” tells us about anything and everything that is related to this extraordinary creature.

Trump’s personality and influence is a complex mixture of high collars, mob bosses, Red Scare prosecutor Roy Cohn, Woody Guthrie, as well as the average voter of America, all put in one human body.

This book by David Cay Johnston has been written after decades of interviews, public statements, court documents, and financial records, all of which takes us to the core of the heart of this man who may become the next president of USA.
