Inheritance. Fraud. Deceit.
The devastating exposé of Trump’s financial failings that you need to read to understand the man whose deals are destroying the world economy.
‘A page turner,' Washington Post
'Scalpel-like ... Damning' Sunday Times
'A first-rate financial thriller ... deserves, even demands, to be read' New York Times
Soon after announcing his first campaign for the U.S. presidency, Donald J. Trump declared life has ‘not been easy for me’. He spun a fable of how he turned a small loan from his father into a multi-billion-dollar empire, and argued this made him singularly qualified to lead.
Except none of it was true.
Born to a rich father, Trump received the equivalent of more than $500 million today.
The story of Trump’s finances is one of rises and falls, of squandering fortunes on money-losing businesses to be saved by blind luck. He tacks his name to buildings while taking out huge loans he’ll never repay. He obsesses over appearances while ignoring threats to the bottom line. He makes side deals to cut out the television producer who cast him as a business guru – the image that carried him to the White House.
Here, for the first time, in a meticulous masterpiece of narrative reporting is the definitive true accounting of Trump and his money - what he had and what he lost.
