Sample Book Insights:
#1 Norma Foerderer was Trump’s top aide for 26 years. She told me there are two Trumps: the public Trump, who makes outrageous comments to get attention, and the real Trump, who is the dearest, most loyal, and caring man.
#2 Trump’s butler, Tony Senecal, told me that his wife, Melania, ruled the roost at Mar-a-Lago. Melania was quiet, but she had a strong influence on her husband.
#3 Trump also never forgets what it is like to be down and out. In the 1990s, when his companies were $3. 4 billion in the hole, and he was personally liable for $830 million of that debt, he had a negative net worth. But his brand came to stand for quality, prestige, and success.
#4 Trump’s tough-guy image goes back to his childhood, when he would pummel another boy or smash a baseball bat when he struck out. He wanted to be first at everything, and he wanted everyone to know it.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

As president, Trump’s anger is more intense. He will lash out at whoever he believes is at fault, even if that person is not. He seems to crave the respect of mainstream media outlets, even though he despises the New York Times.

#2

While Trump did not give many interviews to friendly media outlets, he did not grant interviews to unfavorable ones, either. He would frequently complain about how the press briefings were being handled by Spicer, and how the media was nitpicking every little thing he said.

#3

While the media’s obsession with Spicer’s briefings was a blessing for ratings, it also showed how unprofessional they had become. Trump enjoyed watching press conferences on TV, and would make outrageous comments himself, but he also knew how to give the press conferences he needed.

#4

Trump's tweets and comments in interviews are often bizarre, but they position him as the number one topic of the day, which enhances his power. His no-nonsense approach helps him make deals. But Trump's public stream-of-consciousness complaints about his own staff undercut morale and turned off potential White House hires.
