As President Trump’s national security advisor, John Bolton spent many of his 453 days in the room where it happened, and the facts speak for themselves. The result is one of the few White House memoirs to date by a top-level official. With almost daily access to the president, John Bolton has produced a precise rendering of his days in and around the Oval Office. What Bolton saw astonished him: a president for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation.

How did America end up with a leader who acts so crudely and despotically, and counter to our democratic principles? Why do his followers stick with him, even when he acts against their interests?

Story
Donald Trump's campaign chairman went to jail. So did his personal lawyer. His long-time political consigliere was convicted of serious federal crimes, and his national security advisor pled guilty to others. Career intelligence agents and military officers were alarmed enough by the president's actions that they alerted senior government officials and ignited the impeachment process. Yet despite all this, a years-long inquiry led by special counsel Robert Mueller, and the third impeachment of a president in American history, Donald Trump survived to run for re-election. Why?

From the moment Trump glided down the golden escalator to announce his candidacy in the 2016 presidential election to his acquittal on two articles of impeachment in early 2020, Fox hosts spread his lies and smeared his enemies. Over the course of two years, Stelter spoke with over 250 current and former Fox insiders in an effort to understand the inner workings of Rupert Murdoch's multibillion-dollar media empire.

Publisher's Summary
This revelatory biography of Melania Trump from Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter Mary Jordan “deftly, and without agenda, decodes Melania [Trump]” (NBC News) who is far more influential in the White House than most people realize.
Based on interviews with more than 100 people in five countries, The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump draws an unprecedented portrait of the first lady. While her public image is of an aloof woman floating above the political gamesmanship of Washington, behind the scenes Melania Trump is not only part of President Trump’s inner circle, but for some key decisions she has been his single most influential adviser.
Throughout her public life, Melania Trump has purposefully worked to remain mysterious. With the help of key people speaking publicly for the first time and never-before-seen documents and tapes, The Art of Her Deal looks beyond the surface image to find a determined immigrant and the life she had before she met Donald Trump. Mary Jordan traces Melania’s journey from Slovenia, where her family stood out for their nonconformity, to her days as a fledgling model known for steering clear of the industry’s hard-partying scene, to a tiny living space in Manhattan she shared platonically with a male photographer, to the long, complicated dating dance that finally resulted in her marriage to Trump. Jordan documents Melania’s key role in Trump’s political life before and at the White House and shows why he trusts her instincts above all.
The picture of Melania Trump that emerges in The Art of Her Deal is one of a woman who is savvy, steely, ambitious, and deliberate and who plays the long game. And while it is her husband who became famous for the phrase "the art of the deal", it is she who has consistently used her leverage to get exactly what she wants. This is the story of the art of her deal.

Amazing and candid!
Mary Jordan weaves a well researched, complicated tale of Melania Trump. Ms. Jordan provided quotes and well researched facts about First Lady Trump's journey to the White House. It is a hard working, extremely interesting book about Melania Trump. The book neither judges nor praises Mrs. Trump. Mary Jordan gives the reader the dignity of choice for their own conclusions. Well done!

A very good read Melania's life interesting.
All she has achieved over her life is impressive, when any decisions were made with the President Trump or about caring for their son she is strong & showed her ability to stand against the biased anti- Trump media. She received very little attention for her love & care for the children suffering cancer or health saving surgeries that was her choice to support as The First Lady.

With respect to Mary Jordan, an award-winning journalist, there wasn’t much new to say about Melania Trump. The points the author made were backed up by the research she had done over several years.

Pure propaganda by a fangirl
Made it through several chapters expecting an unbiased examination of the life of Melania Trump, but it is clear the author has ignored anything but support for her adoration.
She's presented as an independent genius with no actual evidence other than her current husband not yelling at her.
If you're a member of the the MAGA-cult, this is for you. if you have a triple-digit IQ, pass on by.

Wanted to love this book
I'm about halfway through the book and I'm bored to tears. While I am not a fan of her husband, I love Melania and was looking for something more than what this book offered. Maybe it's the lack of sources willing to go in the record with anything other than surface level information, but this just felt like a constant ego stroke to a woman who clearly does not want or need it. Needed this to go deeper and it fell flat. Also wish the author would have found someone else to narrate. Her narration was one of the hardest things to get through. I have to admit this is one of the first audible books I will not be finishing.

disappointed but not surprised
Well, it was not a professional depiction of a first lady. it was more of an insight into 2 people, both driven to succeed in different ways and their co-dependence on one another to do it. The only thing I got out of it was the bartering of how Trump decided to marry this woman based on a calculation of her image for his political goals. She in turn wanted what he represented and found her way to it through the key to his heart..blind loyalty. The author stated she loved him. Please. She was as driven to use him as he her. This is no love story. it's a merger, with mutual goals of superficiality and glamour, and the political power Trump decided he was destined for.

Yes, it's true
To the reviewer who asks if this is true because Melania's press secretary says it's fiction: A Pulitizer-prize winning journalist wrote it so I don't think it should be written off as untrue immediately. It's an unauthorized biography. What subject of an unauthorized biography would say it was true?
I think Trump supporters will start flooding the reviews with negative ones just to try to bolster Donald Trump.
I'll edit this review when I've finished the book.
New review after finishing it:
It's largely flattering but it does point out that she doesn't speak French, German, or Italian, all of which she has claimed she is fluent in speaking. It also proves she left university in her first year to model while she claimed to have graduated with a bachelor's degree. Otherwise, quite complementary but the author is limited in finding out any of Melania's true thoughts. The author apparently researched very thoroughly but was allowed only one interview with the book's subject so she had to work within that confine.

Boring Subject!!, Boring Book!!
I don’t know why I thought it would be a good idea to listen to this book? I have been burnt out on Donald Trump and consequently his wife for a long time. In parts of this book, I felt the author was glamorizing Trump and Melania through the public’s shallow eyes.The implication seemed to be, “Oh, we should all be so impressed with this story.” It was very tabloid, superficial and shallow. It was sickening to listen to.
Later on, I got the impression the author was showing possibilities that Melania was dishonest and no better than Trump. When she was trying to paint the fairy tail fantasy picture, it felt insincere. The entire book reeked of insincerity. The truth is that if Melania Trump did not have an ounce of decency in her veins, or she would have stayed away from the Donald. I came away with the conclusion that Melania was using Donald as much as he was using her. I think very little of these two people and I won’t waste my time reading about them again. This book was written to please the masses, who really don’t care about values and morals. Vacuous book!!
