Klappentext zu „Trump: The Art of the Deal “
President Donald J. Trump lays out his professional and personal worldview in this classic work-a firsthand account of the rise of America's foremost deal-maker."I like thinking big. I always have. To me it's very simple: If you're going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big."-Donald J. Trump
Here is Trump in action-how he runs his organization and how he runs his life-as he meets the people he needs to meet, chats with family and friends, clashes with enemies, and challenges conventional thinking. But even a maverick plays by rules, and Trump has formulated time-tested guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest accomplishments; he shatters myths; he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker's art. And throughout, Trump talks-really talks-about how he does it. Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur-the ultimate read for anyone interested in the man behind the spotlight.

"A chatty, generous, chutzpa-filled autobiography."-New York Post

DEALINGA Week in the Life
IDON T do it for the money. I ve got enough, much more than I ll ever need. I do it to do it. Deals are my art form. Other people paint beautifully on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals. That s how I get my kicks.
Most people are surprised by the way I work. I play it very loose. I don t carry a briefcase. I try not to schedule too many meetings. I leave my door open. You can t be imaginative or entrepreneurial if you ve got too much structure. I prefer to come to work each day and just see what develops.
There is no typical week in my life. I wake up most mornings very early, around six, and spend the first hour or so of each day reading the morning newspapers. I usually arrive at my office by nine, and I get on the phone. There s rarely a day with fewer than fifty calls, and often it runs to over a hundred. In between, I have at least a dozen meetings. The majority occur on the spur of the moment, and few of them last longer than fifteen minutes. I rarely stop for lunch. I leave my office by six-thirty, but I frequently make calls from home until midnight, and all weekend long.
It never stops, and I wouldn t have it any other way. I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That s where the fun is. And if it can t be fun, what s the point?
MONDAY
9:00 A.M. My first call is to Alan ( Ace ) Greenberg, on the trading floor of Bear Sterns, a major Wall Street investment banking firm. Alan is the CEO of Bear Sterns, he s been my investment banker for the past five years, and he s the best there is. Two weeks ago, we began buying stock in Holiday Inns. It was selling in the 50s. As of this morning, Alan tells me, I own just over one million shares, or slightly more than 4 percent of the company. The stock closed Friday at $65 a share, mostly, Alan says,

because word is out on the street that I ve been a big buyer, and there s speculation I am planning a run at the company.
The truth is I m keeping my options open. I may ultimately go for control of Holiday, which I think is somewhat undervalued. At the current stock price, I could get control for less than $2 billion. Holiday s three casino-hotels could be worth nearly that much and the company owns another 300,000 hotel rooms besides.
A second option, if the stock price goes high enough, is to sell my stake and take a very nice profit. If I did that today, I d already be up about $7 million. The third possibility is that Holiday may eventually offer to buy back my shares, at a premium, simply to get rid of me. If the premium is big enough, I ll sell.
In any case, I enjoy seeing the lengths to which bad managements go to preserve what they call their independence which really just means their jobs.
9:30 A.M. Abraham Hirschfeld calls me, looking for advice. Abe is a successful real estate developer but he wants to be a politician. Unfortunately for Abe, he s a far better developer than politician.
This fall, Abe tried to run for lieutenant governor against Governor Cuomo s hand-picked candidate, Stan Lundine. Cuomo led a court fight to get Hirschfeld off the ballot on technical grounds, and sure enough, halfway into the campaign, the court ruled Hirschfeld out. Abe knows I m friendly with the governor, and he wants my advice now on whether he should endorse Cuomo or switch parties and endorse Cuomo s opponent. I tell him it s a no-contest question stick with a winner and a good guy at that.
We set a meeting for Thursday.
