The Guy Who Got Trump: Outrageous Adventures of an Audacious Imposter

In December of 1988, Mikhail Gorbachev, Secretary General of the Soviet Union, came to address the United Nations. Ronald Knapp went to New York for one day to do a segment on Fox TV with Gordon Elliott’s "Good Day, New York,” knocking on doors in New Jersey the same day Gorbachev was arriving. He was so successful that Fox said, "Let's hire a limo and turn him loose on New York.” The Gorbachev motorcade was on one street, and Gorby 2 was on another. Gorby 2 shook hands with 100,000 New Yorkers who thought they shook hands with Gorbachev. Even Donald Trump came out of Trump Tower to greet him. The Fox TV cameras captured it for the evening news on Maury Povich’s “Current Affairs.” Trump denied he had been fooled, but New Yorkers were convinced otherwise. Everywhere Gorby 2 went in Manhattan, people would stop him on the street and say, "You're the guy who got Trump." This was just the beginning of the outrageous adventures he shares in this book.
