Summary: DONALD TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT
Review: I am not an American citizen but, I have always been interested in why some people succeed and what they have done to be successful. Well, in reading Donald Trump's book I came away with a clear understanding (I have read his other boks as well)why Mr. Trump is a very successful man. First, he is a take charge guy. When there are problems he meets them head on. The impression you get in reading his book is that of a man who dosn't like problems to fester. He likes to solve things right away in the most efficient manner possible. Moreover, he is a realist, which is to mean that he faces facts. This can be seen in his chapters on The Safe Streets We Deserve, The Foreign Policy We Deserve, and Freedom From Terrorism. He tells things exaclty the way they are. Another characteristic of Donald Trump although this may seem obvious is that this is a very serious man. He cares about his country. He is a very results oriented person who wants to succeed. You can see this throughout the whole book. Personally, I found the book very interesting, reading it more from the point of view of analyzing his personality. I've come away concluding that this is one very tough man, who is very smart, no-nonsense, with the attitude of "lets get down to business and do what has to be done." And to top it all off, he knows people. He seems to have the instict or talent to hire the right people around him. A very important trait for any successful person to have. It seems to me, he would make quite a President.

Summary: Trump should stick to business not politics!
Review: In a year when people like Warren Beatty want to run for president, Pat Buchanan has switched parties and Jesse Ventura has become the talk of politics, it is no coincidence that Donald Trump has written this book.

The America We Deserve is Trump's attempt to show that he has what it takes to make the "American Dream" become the White House battle cry. The problem is, with no political background his arguments are weak.

Trump is using an out of control political system to play upon the political ignorance of the American people in order to gain enough popularity to win the highest office in the land.

While the book is well written and Trump does make serious points about his ambitions, he fails to be convincing that he has what it takes. Overall it was a pleasant read, but Trump needs to stick to books about business and leave politics to the experts.

Summary: ANY book by TRUMP is a great investment!
Review: In his previous book, Trump: Art of the Comeback (1997) -Donald stated it would be his last. It's good to see it isn't so. Thisman knows how to communicate any topic with concise and intelligent rhetoric. Trump doesn't banter and waste the reader's time (or money) by talking nonsense. He's not out to impress the reader. This book is simply a straight-forward view of our country's current issues, where it might be headed, and what would be the best route to take. All of Trump's books are not only worth reading, but owning. If you can get a hold of Trump: Art of the Deal, Trump: Surviving at the Top, and Trump: Art of the Comeback -- buy them! You'll have a better understanding and appreciation of his political logic in Trump: The America We Deserve. END

Summary: Classic Trump prose mixed with logic and wit
Review: It's about time a guy like Donald Trump published this book. Whether you love him, hate him, or want him to fix his hair, The Donald presents fresh takes on age-old arguments and explains why he has what it takes.

While every other candidate in 2000 was writing books about their youths, military service, or whatever else, Trump uses his get-down-to-business style to attack issues (and people) and offer quick-witted solutions. The fact that I disagree on a few points does not take away from the quality of the book. If you want a straight-shooting tome from a guy who takes care of things himself, The America We Deserve is a must-read.

Summary: Critical Analysis
Review: The America We Deserve is one of the few truly honest and straight forward books written by a candidate for public office. Donald Trump explains his views on almost every topic from Capital Punishment to the Economy in a down-to-earth fashion that makes the reader feel that they are being talked to directly by Trump himself. Trump's book is also witty in some spots, and a couple of times the book had me rolling on the floor laughing.

But Trump takes a serious tone when he talks about what is wrong with America. He also doesn't hold back on how much he dislikes Bill Bradley and Pat Buchanan. Trump praises Rudy Giuliani for his tremendous efforts in changing New York City. Oprah Winfrey, Trump's first choice for Vice President, is also applauded for getting millions of Americans to read. All in all, Donald Trump writes an excellent book about what he would do as President. And if Trump truly believes in giving the American Dream to every citizen, he will make a great Chief Executive.

Summary: Trump beat Gore and he didn't even run!
Review: Very good book by Trump. I didn't agree with all of Mr. Trump's views but this book was very well written. Unfortunately, Trump did not run for president. It would have been intersting to hear more of his interesting politcal views. I'm not sure though that a country should be run the way that a billion dollar corporation is run. Overall, Trump wrote a very good book and he deserves to be applauded for it.
