2016 Postmortem

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3718204/Donald-Trump-s-enlisted-son-Donald-Jr-daughter-Ivanka-lure-investors-world-class-Cabo-resort-leave-buyers-high-dry-new-biography-claims.htmlThat was published in early August, but I don't recall seeing any post about it here, and couldn't find any posts on it doing a search. It covers a lot of the material in the book.
The headline refers to Ivanka and Donald Jr. shilling for their father to lure investors into buying into a Trump development they later claimed wasn't really a Trump development, with Ivanka even gushing about how she liked it so much she'd have an apartment there and might drop in on her new neighbors to borrow some sugar.
I wish the media had paid much more attention to Johnston's book and what it reveals about Trump.

(7,178 posts)3. Yes!! His book was the perfect place to start!!!!!!
I read it and it helped get the big picture of Trump--- Big picture plus the small details too!
Trump is big on REVENGE!
His great grandfather left Germany at first to avoid the draft in Germany! Got in trouble for doing that and had to return.
and that was the start of this family's style of values...
