This is the story of how Donald Trump engineered one of the most remarkable business comebacks in history, accumulating a net worth of well over $3 billion. Trump's story begins when many real estate moguls went belly-up in what he calls the Great Depression of 1990. Trump reveals how he renegotiated millions of dollars in bank loans and survived the recession, paving the way for a resurgence, during which he built the most successful casino operation in Atlantic City, broke ground on one of the biggest and most lucrative development projects ever undertaken in New York City, and won the rights to the Miss Universe pageant. Blunt, smart as hell, and full of hilarious stories, Trump tells it like it is: the women in his life; the wild and woolly deals; negotiating tactics; his investment philosophy; and his strategy for success or coming back from adversity. Whether you love him or hate him, one thing is certain about Donald Trump: He is a true American original, with great instincts and billion-dollar dreams. The Art of the Comeback is Trump at his best--unpredictable, irreverent, and irrepressible. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Some might consider that Trump extols his own brilliance here. His audacity is further on display in his challenge to his publisher not to excise his criticism of New Yorker editor Tina Brown for printing an unflattering profile she had assured him he'd "love"--Brown's husband, readers will recall, is Harry Evans, head of Random House in the Newhouse conglomerate that owns Trump's publisher as well as the New Yorker. His book also becomes an occasion to get even with perceived wrongs: "You've got to tackle and hit real hard." Writing with CNBC correspondent Bohner, The Donald lets rip--at the press, which is rarely complimentary toward him; at women who, like Alley Cat, claim he's smitten with them; at folk who try to shake his hand. Readers will be amused that Trump considers himself irresistible to women but doesn't seem to have factored in his wealth as an aphrodisiac. As his book's title makes clear, Trump, who had widely reported financial problems earlier in the decade, now has many real-estate projects under way, which he publicizes extensively in this book. Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American politician, media personality, and businessman who served as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021. Born and raised in Queens, New York City, Trump graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor's degree in 1968. He became president of his father Fred Trump's real estate business in 1971 and renamed it The Trump Organization. Trump expanded the company's operations to building and renovating skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. He later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. From 2004 to 2015, he co-produced and hosted the reality television series The Apprentice. In 1982, Trump made the initial Forbes list of wealthy people for holding a share of his family's estimated $200 million net worth. His losses in the 1980s dropped him from the list between 1990 and 1995. After filing mandatory financial disclosure forms with the FEC in July 2015, he announced a net worth of about $10 billion. Records released by the FEC showed at least $1.4 billion in assets and $265 million in liabilities. Forbes estimated his net worth at $4.5 billion in 2015 and $3.1 billion in 2018. In its 2021 billionaires ranking, it was $2.4 billion (1,299th in the world), making him one of the wealthiest officeholders in American history. Trump attracted public attention in 1978 with the launch of his family's first Manhattan venture, the renovation of the derelict Commodore Hotel, adjacent to Grand Central Terminal. The financing was facilitated by a $400 million city property tax abatement arranged by Fred Trump, who also joined Hyatt in guaranteeing $70 million in bank construction financing. The hotel reopened in 1980 as the Grand Hyatt Hotel, and that same year, Trump obtained rights to develop Trump Tower, a mixed-use skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan. The building houses the headquarters of the Trump Corporation and Trump's PAC and was Trump's primary residence until 2019.
