Donald J. Trump has just five words for the politicians and so-called leaders in Washington, DC:
It s Time to Get Tough


President Obama has been a disaster for America. In four short years, he s wrecked our economy, saddled our children with more debt than America managed to rack up in 225 years, and gone around the world
apologizing for our country—as if the greatest nation in the world needs to apologize for being a land of opportunity and freedom, which we were before Obama became president.

Now, America looks like a broken country—stripped of jobs, stripped of wealth, stripped of respect. And what does President Obama do about it? He plays nice with a China that is doing everything it can to destroy our economy, while refusing to stand up for America with Middle Eastern oil mobsters who think they can hold us hostage through higher prices at the pump, and chucking billions in “stimulus money to his friends and supporters while letting the rest of us foot the bill.

This can t go on. And if Donald J. Trump has anything to say about it, it won t.

In his new blockbuster book,
Time to Get Tough, Trump has the answers America has been looking for, an agenda for making America number one again, including:

    • How to put OPEC out of business
    • How to create American jobs by forcing Communist China into truly fair trade
    • How to retire our debt without endangering long-established programs—like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—that millions of Americans depend on
    • How to undo the fraud of Obamanomics and the disaster of Obamacare
      Blunt, straightforward, and honest, it s all trademark Trump, setting out a common sense agenda to restore American prosperity and make our nation respected once again.

    From the Inside Flap

    From Donald J. Trump’s Time to Get Tough

    “I love America. I’m saddened by what I see happening to our country. We’re being humiliated, pushed around, disrespected, and badly abused. Obama was a leftist experiment that has failed and gone horribly wrong, and everyone knows it. Even friends of mine who voted for the guy privately admit that he’s been a huge disappointment. We cannot afford four more years of this mess. Our children’s futures are on the line—and we have to come through for them. We have to get tough so that our country can be great again.”

    I never thought I would see this in print, put there by my own hand – but Trump is becoming a breath of fresh air.

    I read this book, to get a feel for the individual, and where he is coming from, since he is hoping to run for President 2016 on the Republican ticket. I wanted to see why he felt he was qualified to be our next President in 2016. A politician – he isn’t.

    But well-educated, with a long-and-strong suit at dealing with, and understanding finance in a variety of global countries – he is. He defines himself as a person with a broad experience base in global finance, who has also had to deal with global politics AND foreign policy – in order to accomplish his goals. And with billions in personal net worth – maybe we should start believing what he says.

    He is like no other in Washington, in that he needs the job of President, like a hole in the head – but he is fed up, with what Washington politicians have made of America. And he wants a chance to fix the problem.

    Where other politicians go to Washington to get rich, line their pockets with side deals, and gain power – Trump already has all that. So what is his pitch in the book?

    He wants the America back, that we all knew and loved, and lost, courtesy of the political element that has invaded Washington – and in some cases, made a permanent home there, peddling their ideas, and making their fortune altering American foreign and domestic policy, at the taxpayer’s expense.

    D.T. states what he would do to get that America back. He explains foreign policies that have been poorly handled, and tells how he would have handled the situation. He uses fact, not fiction, and the book is well documented, with accurate footnotes which were not ‘lifted’ out of context, to make a different sense, in his book. The book is written in active voice – so once you pick it up – you won’t be able to easily put it down.

    He states the flaws he sees in the political thinking currently in Washington, in both parties, brings up the policies and people by name, that created the messes – and states how he feels the policies should have been written, and how the situations should have been handled.

    He is surprisingly well-versed on both the policies and the people – and his solutions are something that I think Congress and the Senate should have a look at.

    This man is a “dealer”, and global trading has been his game, but in the financial sector. Trump has had far more experience dealing with issues of a global financial matter, than the current Republican favorite Walker (no offense to Walker but he is a bit shy on experience in the global arena) – and if we judge Trump, by his net worth – he’s damn good in this global arena when it comes to finance.

    Countries worldwide are only political successes – if they are financially stable with competent leadership. Around the globe, we are all aware of those countries who now aren’t countries anymore because of poor leadership that had no sense how to financially keep the place in order. America is way over-extended financially, and the guys who usually wind up in Washington, are more concerned about keeping their job in the next term, than they are whether the deal is coming out ok for middle-class America. Trump doesn’t need to worry about keeping his job – he can buy the best financial minds in the country – to run it, while he is away, running our shop, in Washington – if he wins 2016.

    He doesn’t need our money, to finance his campaign – he already has more than he needs.

    This is the type of presidential candidate America has been waiting for – one who is educated, with global financial experience, who has had to understand global financial and trade policies, to deal on a world front to make and keep his own financial empire in tact – and one who now wants to put America back together, by altering those policies that are out of whack, that have taken our manufacturing off our shores, and that have unemployed or underemployed millions of Americans.

    Bottom line, if Trump has been able to keep his personal financial house in order – to the extent he could buy and sell everyone in Washington thrice over – maybe we should seriously consider this guy and his thoughts for our next Republican president. Hillary wouldn’t know what hit her.

    I’m glad I read this book – through reading this book, written by D.T. himself – I now have a sense that the individual who wants to be our President, does, in fact, have the intelligence, experience in global policy matters that count, and a personal financial success track record that proves he understands foreign policy – that the rest of America wishes it had. He expresses himself very well; he is concise, to the point, and documents his points very well. And best of all – he is used to getting to “yes” – he doesn’t accept no, when it comes to dealing – and America badly needs that type of individual right now.

    In the end – it doesn’t matter what the Republicans, or the Democrats, or Hillary, or the press thinks of this guy. What matters is how we, the American voters view this guy – so don’t let them lead you off course – the book will show you the individual named D.T. in his own words.

    If you want America back – I suggest you give it a read. He speaks the middle-class language!

    D.T. – if you can get that Republican nod – you’ve got two votes here for you!

    I Actually READ the Book...

    This new little stunt where liberal groups send out an email blast commanding their minions to go bomb Amazon ratings with 1-star reviews is as immature as it is revealing about the follower mentality of modern liberalism.

    So here's a review from someone who actually READ the book. In fact, I will include page references to prove as much.

    "Time to Get Tough" by Donald Trump is, without question, Trump's best and most impressive book to date. The writing leaps off the page and is the most serious, thoughtful book Trump has yet published. The writing is bold, clear, and surprisingly packed with details on specific policies and how we can save America from the mess Obama has made of the country.

    One of the most impressive features of the book is the 15 pages of endnotes it contains. Again, because I actually READ the book (unlike the little liberal 1-star brigade), I will give you the exact amount of endnotes, which is a jaw dropping 243 sources found on pages 193-207.

    Those who see Trump on TV will be impressed with the depth of detail and policy recommendations he makes in this book. He comes across as a serious, thoughtful man who loves America. In fact, had he published "Time to Get Tough" sooner, it's likely his run for the White House would have produced major momentum.

    The most powerful chapters are chapter 2 "Take the Oil," chapter 5 "A Government We Can Afford," and chapter 7 "A Safety Net, Not a Hammock" (great chapter title).

    On page 12, in chapter 2 "Take the Oil," Trump advocates a cost-sharing plan that our own Government Accountability Office (GAO) says would be a wise way to have Iraq share the costs of liberation. It would divert a portion of oil profits to the American families of soldiers, sailors, airmen, or Marines who have lost loved ones or have been wounded from the war in Iraq. It would also help defray the costs to the taxpayers. It's a brilliant idea that few people know about. Trump deserves credit for bringing it to light.

    On page 67, chapter 5 "A Government We Can Afford," Trump begins a discussion of the massive spending and government waste in our system. He starts the chapter with this eye-popping statistic: "Every day, your government takes in $6 billion in revenue and spends $10 billion. That means every day the federal government has to borrow $4 billion more than it has." That chapter is as eye-opening as any I've ever read and contains numerous, detailed policy solutions for how to get our fiscal house back in order. Again, kudos to Trump.

    Finally, on page 113, chapter 7, "A Safety Net, Not a Hammock," Donald Trump goes into impressive detail about what the Wall Street Journal has dubbed the "Food Stamp Crime Wave." This part of the book enraged me; knowing how many people are suffering in this economy, it was repulsive to see how many people are bilking the system and selling food stamps they don't qualify for on Craigslist, Facebook, and elsewhere.

    "Time to Get Tough" is without a doubt Donald Trump's best book and one packed with practical, serious policies to fix our crumbling country. But you have to buy it and actually READ it to know that.

    Read 2019. Amazing reading and much still very relevant today. The more I read of Trump, whether authored by him or not, the more critical I become of the press, congress and the viciousness of his political critics. I don't agree with 100% of what Trump says and does but he is one of a very rare breed of politician (on both sides of the Atlantic) in that he actually takes a pragmatic rather than theoretical approach to his job. READ THIS BOOK.

    Reviewed in Australia on May 3, 2016
    as a non American I have read two of Donald Trumps books to try to understand the man. while I disagree with some of the foreign policy, I get the drift and agree with the basic stance. Given a good running mate, say, Ron Paul or even Bernie Sanders, he could turn into the best President America has ever had. Or it could be a disaster.
