By David Cay Johnston
Are you undecided about your vote in the upcoming presidential election? If so, then I highly recommend reading The Making of Donald Trump. Author David Cay Johnston—a Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative journalist and former New York Times reporter—has written a compelling biography that has become an instant best-seller.
Trump has been an object of fascination for Johnston for nearly 30 years—long before even meeting him and their subsequent intensive interactions. Scrupulously well-documented and detailed, The Making of Donald Trump chronicles interviews, public statements, court documents, and financial records and everything about Trump, from his family history, his early childhood and teen years to his adult life. Most particularly, Johnston examines Trump’s personal and business relationships and ethics.
While presented as an investigative “justthe-facts” account, it is a spellbinding tale.
