The Art of the Deal by Donald Trump and Tony Schwartz (2015) 384 pp Theme : Trump
Who is Trump
There is a risk that our evenings over the coming year will be contaminated by a
collective moan about the US administration’s latest madness at home and abroad, and
our shared dislike of the man himself. So I propose we have a planned evening
focused on Trump. It will be informed by some reading of books by him and others so
that we might get a better understanding of why he does what he does. There are many
book sources such as
Books
on Trump .The most famous book is probably The Art of the Deal that I plan
to read, but it would be good if people chose a range of sources from this list and
elsewhere if they wish.
If Simon is willing we could also watch the film The Apprentice about Trump’s early
years in real estate.
I can’t imagine any of us concluding after a bit of reflective reading that he’s
not so bad after all. If you do warm to him, I suspect you wouldn’t dare admit this
within the confines of NABG, because we are pretty much all the same aren’t we (and
want remain so)!
