Donald Trump: The Candidate

The revealing story behind Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s rise to the top.

In Donald Trump, adapted and updated from The Trumps, bestselling author Gwenda Blair recounts a true-life history with more twists and turns than any television producer could imagine. Towering skyscrapers and glittering casinos, a luxury airline and a football-field-size yacht, steamy affairs and bitter lawsuits, near bankruptcy and stormy feuds—all this and more are part of the life of Trump.

An adaptation and update of her definitive biography, The Trumps, this book provides fresh material on Trump’s brushes with bankruptcy, mammoth construction projects, and ever-expanding place in American life. Blair offers new insight into the man who seems to have it all and making a run for the highest office in the country: the presidency. For the first time, we also get a glimpse of the person who may ultimately decide the fate of the Trump brand: Donald Trump, Jr., the real-life apprentice who hopes to put his own imprint on his father's empire.
