Summary: Take Responsibility For Yourself
Date: 2008-11-12 - 
Comment: Great book! Trump is the ideal example of what America is all about. Take advantage of your freedoms, and be as successful as you want to be. He emphasizes taking responsibility for yourself, and not blaming him or her or whatever. Be passionate about what you do, and strive to be the best at it. He talks about his tiff with Rosie, and explains how to deal with "bullies" in your professional life. One of the many things I love about Trump is that he says to be honest at all costs. Yea, he is honest in the book too. Being successful takes a lot of work and determination. He also talks about a personal hero of mine, "Ronald Reagan." Overall this is a book about capitalism, from the ultimate capitalist. He has gone from bankrupt, fought back, and came back twice as strong. The man worked his azz off for what he has. What this man must pay in taxes is ungodly, and wrong. So if you want to read a book about how to be successful by YOURSELF, and be an individualist, read this book. If you are happy plodding around waiting for the government to coddle you, do not bother reading, but buy it anyway because he deserves the kickback. Somebody has to cover your food stamps.
Trump is a true American hero.
Summary: Entertaining Trump Re-run
Date: 2008-10-30 - 
Comment: I have read most of Trump's books. Not 'all' of them...but most of them.
Unfortunately, this book goes the way of the last Jack Welch book: for a new reader, it's etnertaining and educational. For an old fan, it's rehash.
I've already heard his views of Prenuptual agreements. I also already heard the story about his stupid friend who married 4 times without one.
I already know the story about how the bum in the street was worth 900 million more dollars than he was.
I've already heard him insist on thinking big and promoting your self.
I've also heard him demand that you don't get walked on.
In fact, the only 'new' information...new meaning 'current'...are his tirades about Martha Stewart and Rosie O'Donnell.
So, if you've never read Trump's work before...you'll likely find this book to be rather motivating. I like DOnald Trump, and overall his information is good.
But if you are already familiar with his rhetoric, skip this one. There is nothing new in it that can be deemed 'valuable'.
Summary: BIG book and real WORLD..
Date: 2008-10-24 -
Comment: It is not a text book, it's just real world. Totally agree that the world is a brutal place and you have to protec yourself. A place full of negative people that use their lives self justification and never get ahead with positives and creatives ideas. It's a very positive point of view given by two successful bussines people. It's not just about how to make money, it's how to use your creative attitude to get ahead in life. I can recomend for people how likes to have the best into each one.

Summary: Breath of fresh air!
Date: 2008-10-11 -
Comment: Wow - what a breath of fresh air - I love it!
This book is unexpectedly fun, readable, and direct.
It is oddly not about money really at all - it is about how to manage situations, sometimes financial, mostly people related. I love Trump's code of honor, so to speak - what is acceptable vs what is absolutely not tolerable and how to handle it directly. He has a 'quiz' at the end that is a remarkable way to 'see' yourself, to look at the way you may label, and thereby, limit yourself, especially financially. And in this quiz, he clearly offers another way to look at the same issue, the way he might handle it - this is what I mean by a breath of fresh air. His way of seeing problems is like a quantum shift in perspective, he does not seem to have the considerations that limit most of us in our actions and decisions. I highly recommend this book. I also highly recommend Ariel and Shya Kane's books, Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: The 3 Simple Ideas That Can Instantaneously Transform Your Life and Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment. They are exceptional - their way of seeing things/situations that confront all of us is an equally quantum shift in perspective on life, relationship, and well-being.
What I respect most about Mr. Trump and the Kane's is, in fact, their willingness to share their astonishingly unique perspectives - Thank You!
Summary: Trump doesn't hold back
Date: 2008-10-04 -
Comment: This is an entertaining read. Trump stays true to his style. It's honest and venomous and motivating. He's quite prepared to name 'em and shame 'em. Much better than the feeble "Why We Want You to be Rich" which he co-wrote with Robert Kyosaki.
