I had a teacher in high school that loved trump so we had to read it. This was late 80s.

He was ver pro trump for president. He was a fb coach that taught history.

I got it for Christmas, and it really explains a lot of Trump's motivations. Would recommend.

Started it a few days ago. It has definitely answered some questions.

I haven't read it, but it seems like it's taken on a similar use as "The Bible Code" and the works of Nostradamus where everything is fit into the work after the fact.

In other words, it may be a very good book, but the use of it goes way beyond that by others.

I've read it. If you like Trump, but get frustrated with some of the things he does, read it.

It's got the writing level of USA Today, but overall it does provide insight into why he does the things he does.


It's not some grand way to predict anything he'll do in the future, but it will help trying to understand why he did whatever he did.

Why do people think reading this book will provide any real insight into Trump?

He didn't write it.

Give us an example please.

Does it mention why he speaks in rather constant hyperbole which often leads to wha many are calling lies? He does seem to lie about small things in order to exaggerate a need.

Did you read Dreams From My Father? Why? Bill Ayers wrote that.

Read it a year ago.

I enjoyed the book. He seems to be the same now as he was then. Hasn't changed to run for office.

Nobody cares, since "Trump played no role in the actual writing of the book."
