DONALD TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT
I am not an American citizen but, I have always been interested in why some people succeed and what they have done to be successful. Well, in reading Donald Trump's book I came away with a clear understanding (I have read his other boks as well)why Mr. Trump is a very successful man. First, he is a take charge guy. When there are problems he meets them head on. The impression you get in reading his book is that of a man who dosn't like problems to fester. He likes to solve things right away in the most efficient manner possible. Moreover, he is a realist, which is to mean that he faces facts. This can be seen in his chapters on The Safe Streets We Deserve, The Foreign Policy We Deserve, and Freedom From Terrorism. He tells things exaclty the way they are. Another characteristic of Donald Trump although this may seem obvious is that this is a very serious man. He cares about his country. He is a very results oriented person who wants to succeed. You can see this throughout the whole book. Personally, I found the book very interesting, reading it more from the point of view of analyzing his personality. I've come away concluding that this is one very tough man, who is very smart, no-nonsense, with the attitude of "lets get down to business and do what has to be done." And to top it all off, he knows people. He seems to have the instict or talent to hire the right people around him. A very important trait for any successful person to have. It seems to me, he would make quite a President.

A Book that Deserves to be Read
The America We Deserve is one of the few truly honest and straight forward books written by a candidate for public office. Donald Trump explains his views on almost every topic from Capital Punishment to the Economy in a down-to-earth fashion that makes the reader feel that they are being talked to directly by Trump himself. Trump's book is also witty in some spots, and a couple of times the book had me rolling on the floor laughing.

But Trump takes a serious tone when he talks about what is wrong with America. He also doesn't hold back on how much he dislikes Bill Bradley and Pat Buchanan. Trump praises Rudy Giuliani for his tremendous efforts in changing New York City. Oprah Winfrey, Trump's first choice for Vice President, is also applauded for getting millions of Americans to read. All in all, Donald Trump writes an excellent book about what he would do as President. And if Trump truly believes in giving the American Dream to every citizen, he will make a great Chief Executive.

Classic Trump prose mixed with logic and wit
It's about time a guy like Donald Trump published this book. Whether you love him, hate him, or want him to fix his hair, The Donald presents fresh takes on age-old arguments and explains why he has what it takes.

While every other candidate in 2000 was writing books about their youths, military service, or whatever else, Trump uses his get-down-to-business style to attack issues (and people) and offer quick-witted solutions. The fact that I disagree on a few points does not take away from the quality of the book. If you want a straight-shooting tome from a guy who takes care of things himself, The America We Deserve is a must-read.
