Summary of Ronald Kessler's The Trump White House

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Norma Foerderer was Trump’s top aide for 26 years. She told me there are two Trumps: the public Trump, who makes outrageous comments to get attention, and the real Trump, who is the dearest, most loyal, and caring man. #2 Trump’s butler, Tony Senecal, told me that his wife, Melania, ruled the roost at Mar-a-Lago. Melania was quiet, but she had a strong influence on her husband. #3 Trump also never forgets what it is like to be down and out. In the 1990s, when his companies were $3. 4 billion in the hole, and he was personally liable for $830 million of that debt, he had a negative net worth. But his brand came to stand for quality, prestige, and success. #4 Trump’s tough-guy image goes back to his childhood, when he would pummel another boy or smash a baseball bat when he struck out. He wanted to be first at everything, and he wanted everyone to know it.
