Interesting to pick up this book which is kind of a primer text for what was the Trump University courses. Donald Trump is an easy target for critics as we see everyday and much could be aimed and his homilies presented in this book. However one thing has to be admitted, though some wouldn't, that he does manage to get things done more so than most.

The book is divided into short subject topic in which Trump expounds on his personal philosophies of success and business. Many of the ideas are simplistic phraseology that emphasize giving it your all, and to get it tiger. Things like that nearly every motivational how to book will lay upon you. Though one may snicker at these directives there is still the common thread that effort produces results, and enthusiasm generally wins out over sarcasm.

Trump is never short on self promotion in the book and his ego driven life that we witness everyday is on full display here. Yet when one reads between the lines and looks for some of the cracks in the strategies they are also apparent. Like the failure of Trump University itself. And the infamous bail out in which he was rescued by the banking gods, when he could very well have been bankrupted. And with this we would have seen probably a different day, and certainly not the ascension to political power. ( )
