Woodward, the number-one international bestselling author of Fear: Trump in the White House, has uncovered the precise moment the president was warned that the Covid-19 epidemic would be the biggest national security threat to his presidency. In dramatic detail, Woodward takes readers into the Oval Office as Trump’s head pops up when he is told in January 2020 that the pandemic could reach the scale of the 1918 Spanish Flu that killed 675,000 Americans.

Story
A balanced account of game changes, conflicts and ambitions. The fall from popular grace of the previously adulated brother of the heir to the British throne as a consequence of his marriage to a beautiful and dynamic Hollywood starlet of colour makes for fascinating listening in best-selling royal author Lady Colin Campbell's balanced account. Lady Colin knows her royal history and psychology, and as the first seven years of her adult life were spent in the USA, she has a foot in both the American and British camps.

Publisher's Summary
In this “scrupulously reported biography” (NPR) Jordan documents how Melania Trump had discussing being First Lady nearly two decades before she landed in the White House and how she encouraged her husband to enter the race for president.
Based on interviews with more than one hundred people in five countries, The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump is “an extraordinary work” (Salon) that draws an unprecedented portrait of the first lady. We see that 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 advisor.
Jordan interviewed key people in Melania's close circle who speak publicly for the first time and uncovered never-before-seen photos and tapes of the tall woman with “tiger eyes,” as a judge in an early modeling contest said. The Art of Her Deal shows Melania’s ascent from a modest life, tracing her journey from childhood under a communist dictator to her complicated relationship with Donald Trump. The picture that emerges is “that the first lady is not a pawn but a player...and a woman able to get what she wants from one of the most powerful and transparently vain men in the world” (NPR).
And while it is her husband who became famous for the phrase “the art of the deal,” 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.

Well-researched....that’s it.
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.
Takeaway: Melania Trump is playing chess to win.

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!!
