About this listen
The culmination of nearly 30 years of reporting on Donald Trump, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter David Cay Johnston takes a revealingly close look at the mogul's rise to power and prominence.
Covering the long arc of Trump's career, Johnston tells the full story of how a boy from a quiet section of Queens, New York, would become an entirely new and complex breed of public figure. Trump is a man of great media savvy, entrepreneurial spirit, and political clout. Yet, his career has been plagued by legal troubles and mounting controversy. From the origins of his family's real estate fortune to his own too-big-to-fail business empire; from his education and early career to his whirlwind presidential bid, The Making of Donald Trump provides the fullest picture yet of Trump's extraordinary ascendency.
Love him or hate him, Trump's massive influence is undeniable, and figures as diverse as Woody Guthrie (who wrote a scathing song about Trump's father) and Red Scare prosecutor Roy Cohn, mob bosses and high rollers, as well as the average American voter, have all been pulled into his orbit. Drawing on decades of interviews, financial records, court documents, and public statements, David Cay Johnston, who has covered Trump more closely than any other journalist working today, gives us the most in-depth look yet at the man who would be president.

Great book well researched
This book provides a valuable insight into a very destructive personality and the society which allows it to be manifested l. I’ve read a lot of books about this man and this book fills in some gaps. Shame more people didn’t read it before the election!

Interesting 📚
This was the second book I have read about DJT. it was a very one sided opinion on him but over all read amazing. I loved to hear the other side of the fence after reading DJT's own book with Robert.

To be read and read between the lines
Would you listen to The Making of Donald Trump again? Why?
There are many number descriptions which can be confusing. So a second listening might make the most of them all. Trump's affiliations with the underworld is more extensive than previously thought; no wonder that he now has affiliation with Russia's banks. This angle was not well covered in this investigation, and we need to know more. Follow the money.
Any additional comments?
Trump is not the man who can take the USA to a better place because he doesn't understand politics. He is in real estate with little knowledge of history. This book does reveal a lot about that man's character, but it is just a beginning. More could have been said and this is why I gave a 4 not a 5 on the story. Worth it in any case.
