Hailed as “authoritative” and “essential,” and based on the work of two dozen reporters and twenty hours of interviews with Trump, Trump Revealed is the indispensable and now updated biography of the 45th president of the United States.

Who is Donald J. Trump? To discover Trump in full, the Washington Post assembled a team of award-winning reporters and researchers to investigate every aspect of his life, from his privileged upbringing in Queens to his hundreds of lawsuits, his infamous womanizing, his shifting position on abortion rights, his dizzying seven changes in party affiliation, and his astonishing, disruptive election as president in November 2016.

Coauthored by Washington Post investigative political reporter Michael Kranish and senior editor Marc Fisher, Trump Revealed details the 1970s Justice Department suit against Trump and his father for racial discrimination, his business and political machinations and alleged organized crime connections, his disastrous Atlantic City casino projects, and his relentless pursuit of the attentions of the media. What emerges is a portrait of “a man certain of his views, hugely confident in his abilities, not terribly well informed, quick to take offense,” a man with a penchant for big bets—on real estate, branded businesses, and, ultimately, on himself.

In the wake of the most controversial and polarizing election in modern American history, Trump Revealed provides essential insight into this billionaire businessman, celebrity, and global brand who is now the president of the United States.

    The book gives a good inside look at Donald Trump's style of business sense, and due to The Apprentice, he could better accrue cash by selling his name brand.

    Very difficult to find a fair bio about Trump, people either love him or hate him, but this one seemed to do a pretty god job just laying out the facts and staying away from gossip.
    Well written and not hard to read.

    Ah the President-Elect, now the President. What to make of this complexly simple fellow is a work in progress. Like him or not we will all have to deal with this influence over the next four years. Kranish takes the bash approach like so many and it is hard to argue there is a lot of material to work with here. Trump has his own style and that is not going to change and you see it throughout his life.It will be interesting to see if a more positive bio comes out on Trump, I would say doubtful. In all his egocentric glory he will probably have his way unless he slips up like in some of his business dealings and is put out. One thing for sure this President represents only one political party, and that is a party of one, himself.

    I have read many biographies of our past Presidents. Trump's biography does not fit into it any of them – – maybe Warren Harding's. This book provided additional details and insights into Trump than the earlier biography I've read from David Cay Johnston (The Making of Donald K. Trump). Unfortunately this reader wondered how someone like Trump could be elected president. Read the chapters on the Atlantic City casinos, his bankruptcies and the USFL, and you're at a loss to explain why just these failures were not disqualifiers to be President.

    Well written book. I just wish that the last chapter showed that he failed to be President.
