Available for the first time in a decade-the book that launched a $5 billion lawsuit–with a new introduction by the author in which O’Brien reflects on the recent wave of TrumpMania.

This entertaining look inside the world of Donald Trump is chock full of rip-roaring anecdotes, jaw-dropping quotes, and rigorous research into the business deals, political antics, curious relationships, and complex background of the leading Republican presidential candidate.

The world of Donald Trump is seemingly full of glitz and glamour. Yet despite glaring cracks in the shimmering fa?àövüade, the myth of the man has remained impenetrable to a fascinated public. Through interviews with Trump’s closest friends-and with Trump himself-award-winning journalist and author Timothy L. O’Brien presents a look inside the life of one of the world’s most famous businessmen, pulling back the curtain on the wizard of hype known as The Donald. Prepare to enter…

Trump Nation

This “myth-busting biography” (Kirkus Reviews) is the only argument you need against making America a TrumpNation, providing all the necessary details to “separate Trump the reality from Trump the reality show” (USA Today.)

Genre:

"Dishes it...titillating...a revealing attempt to separate Trump the reality from Trump the reality show."

USA Today
"Highly entertaining."
The New York Times
"Never having met O'Brien...I don't presume to know whether he's having fun yet. But I doubt that I'm alone among members of the Fourth Estate in experiencing a twinge of envy."
New Yorker
"At the start of his career in hype and carnival barking, the press fawned over Trump; he made great copy. It's refreshing that reality has finally crept into the coverage."
Village Voice
"An engrossing romp...hilarious...peppered with wit and irony...the perfect base to Trump's acidic persona...an instructive tongue-in-cheek primer for would-be Trumps."
Publishers Weekly
"Sarcastic at times, hilarious and irreverent at others, the book demystifies the star of The Apprentice as the poor man's rich man and portrays him as a potty-mouthed P. T. Barnum with a bad comb-over."
Palm Beach Post
"Entertaining...gets down and dirty...a myth-busting biography."

Kirkus Reviews
"Somewhere there is another country, far beyond the pale, known as Bad Taste, and Trump has devoted his life to racing through it and staking as many private claims as possible, pausing only to yodel back to the homeland songs of himself."
Michael Lewis, author of Liar's Poker and Moneyball
