I am a 23 year old millenial who's been following Donald J. Trump closely since he announced his candidancy for president of the United States in June 2015. I had known him prior to this as a celebrity who's fame was only accentuated by his wealth. However, watching him speak truly and honestly in favor of Americans who have been neglected for so long instantly made me a fan. It was a badly needed breath of integrity that he spoke with which I rarely hear from those I'm around.
This book does not dissapoint if you reasonate with any of my Trump fandom. It gives you insight into his character and what motivates him. From reading this book you will learn what it means to be successful and how to adopt the mindset necessary for victory. I realize that all those slanderous mishaps that he made during the election were actually well explained within this book. To Donald Trump, it was important that he put those who would screw him over back in line. He compares these people to bullies from school who would only stop bullying if you hit them back just as hard or even harder. Nowadays, people cave into pressure way too easily. It's likely due to the convenience of our modern luxuries that have made people soft and weak hearted. I have seen this in both my school and work. People will fold under duress. We simply don't have the willpower and energy to stand up for ourselves anymore.
Reading this book has given me a lesson in some of this old-school toughness that Donald Trump embodies. I saw how much verbal abuse he took during the election. He was very strong in the way he handled it. He didn't just give up and pretend that people weren't mocking him. He fought back as he has done all his life. Maybe some people don't understand why it's important to do this but I do. I have personally seen people easily take advantage of others because of how unwilling anyone was to stand up to them. Sometimes all it really takes is to sock them in the mouth with a verbal punch. Yes, it can be crude and ugly as some of Donald Trump's vocabulary has been but it has worked well for him in his life.
Instead of fighting for ourselves we now have a tendancy to run crying to the nearest authority figure and ask them to stop the bullying. Yes, it'll keep the person who was messing with you off your back but he will still have no respect for you. If other people find out you had to cry to someone for protection then they will lose respect for you. What has happened to our dignity people? It seems like we don't have much self-respect anymore. Trump says something along the lines of "life is a struggle for survival". He admits that it's not the most pleasant thing to be hearing but it's true. You have to be willing to fight in this world. You have to fight to protect others but most importantly you have to fight in order to stand up for yourself because nobody else will.
To me, this is what this book was really about. I learned what it meant to have a winner's mentality. What it means to respect yourself and your own wellbeing. There is an overabundance of trying to respectful and courteous towards others. Growing up I have noticed this. People are unable to settle their differences and instead hide behind a veil of politeness and mask our true feelings from one another.
I think this book probably desrves 4 stars because the secondary author includes his own opinions following Trump's with an equal amount of pages. Some of it added to the point but honestly I could care less about it becaue I wanted to read about Trump and this other person was not all that compelling to me in comparison. I read some of his parts but skipped most of them. Most of it was just repeating what Trump had said anyways.
It's impossible to tell for sure how genuine Trump was with his writing in this book but my gut instinct tells me that he was sincerely writing to help out people and make the world a better place as cliche as that sounds.
If you are someone who's been looking up to Trump which I'm pretty sure many in the country are following his historical presidential run and with many to be added in the days to follow with his equally historical presidency then read this book. The man is my idol in many ways and I would swallow up any piece of writing that would let me get to know him better. This book gave me a pretty good impression of Trump. Unfortunately, with the bias media and the establishment out to get Trump it's hard to find decent sources of character on him but I felt like this got the job done.
Trump also includes his approach to women and what he thinks of their beauty. This was also a golden nugget that I appreciated given his alpha-male status and his success with the ladies.
If you were wondering what his Learning Annex speech was like where he was paid millions (I forget the exact number) then there's an excerpt of the Q and A at the end of the back. A quick search on youtube only showed bits of his Learning Annex speech so this was appreciated as well.
Overall, I would give this a 5 even though I mentioned before it should probably get a 4 because of my respect and love for the man, Donald J. Trump. But please don't let that fact take any credability from this review. After all, he won a presidential election against all odds and he in all likelihood will have one of, if not the, best presidency of all time.

Donald Trump at his best.
A book from the President's Heart! He doesn't sugar court anything. Says it as it is. He says things that people are scared to say. That's the reason he is born to be a leader. No matter what he is done. He has always come first. Thinking big is a way of life and I am learning to adapt it in my way of thinking which is Everything or Nothing.
