Trump: The Art of the Deal is a 1987 book credited to Donald J. Trump and journalist Tony Schwartz. Role memoir and part business organization-advice book, it was the first book credited to Trump,[1] and helped to make him a household name.[2] [three] Information technology reached number one on The New York Times Best Seller list, stayed at that place for xiii weeks, and altogether held a position on the listing for 48 weeks.[four] The book received additional attending during Trump's 2016 campaign for the presidency of the United States. Trump cited it every bit one of his proudest accomplishments and his second-favorite volume after the Bible.[5] [half-dozen]

Schwartz called writing the book his "greatest regret in life, without question," and both he and the book'southward publisher, Howard Kaminsky, alleged that Trump had played no role in the bodily writing of the book. Trump has personally given alien accounts on the question of authorship.[4] [7]

Synopsis [edit]

The volume talks most Trump'due south childhood in Jamaica Estates, Queens. It so describes his early work in Brooklyn prior to moving to Manhattan and building The Trump Organization, his deportment and thoughts in developing the Grand Hyatt Hotel and Trump Belfry, in renovating Wollman Rink, and regarding various other projects.[8] The book also contains an 11-pace formula for business organisation success, inspired by Norman Vincent Peale'due south The Ability of Positive Thinking.[9]

Development [edit]

Trump was persuaded to produce the book by Condé Nast owner Si Newhouse afterwards the May 1984 issue of his mag GQ—with Trump appearing on the cover—sold well.[9] [x] Announcer Tony Schwartz was recruited directly by Trump after he read Schwartz'due south extremely negative 1985 New York Magazine article, A Unlike Kind of Donald Trump Story, regarding his failed attempts to forcibly and illegally evict rent-controlled and rent-stabilized tenants from a building that he had bought on Central Park S in 1982.[4] To Schwartz's amazement, Trump loved the article and fifty-fifty had the cover, which had an unflattering portrait of him, autographed by Schwartz and hung in his function.[4] Schwartz was hired to write the book for $250,000 upfront; Trump assigned him half of the royalties.[4] Schwartz afterward admitted that his motivation was purely financial. He needed the money to support his new family.[xi]

According to Schwartz in July 2016, Trump did not write whatsoever of the book, choosing merely to remove a few critical mentions of business colleagues at the end of the process. Trump responded with conflicting stories, saying "I had a lot of choice of who to have write the book, and I chose Schwartz", but then said "Schwartz didn't write the book. I wrote the book." Sometime Random House head Howard Kaminsky, the book's original publisher, said "Trump didn't write a postcard for u.s.!"[4] The book was published with the authorship given as "Donald Trump with Tony Schwartz". In 2019, Schwartz suggested that the work be "recategorized as fiction."[12]

To inform the content and mode, Schwartz drew on the already-substantial annal of news, profiles and books virtually Trump every bit well as interviews with Trump assembly. When interviews with Trump himself proved unproductive, the 2 struck on an unusual alternative: Schwartz listened in on Trump'south part phone calls for several months to witness the dealmaker in activeness.[4] The experience was condensed into chapter one, "Dealing: A Week in the Life," which introduces the reader to countless boldface names and events. The affiliate was excerpted in New York Magazine to promote the book[13] and served as a blueprint for future autobiographies.[fourteen]

Schwartz was the field of study of a July 2016 article in The New Yorker in which he describes Trump unfavorably and relates how he came to regret writing The Art of the Deal.[iv] He besides stated that if it were to exist written today it would be very different and titled The Sociopath.[4] Schwartz repeated his cocky-criticism on Skilful Morning America, saying he had "put lipstick on a pig."[fifteen] In response to these claims, Trump'due south attorneys demanded that Schwartz cede all his royalties from the volume to Trump.[16] [17]

Publication and promotion [edit]

The Fine art of the Deal was published in Nov 1987 by Random Business firm. A promotional campaign was undertaken in conjunction with its release. This included Trump property a release party at Trump Belfry, hosted by Jackie Bricklayer, featuring a glory-filled guest list.[9] In that location were a series of appearances by him on television set talk shows.[18] Trump also appeared on a number of magazine covers equally part of publicity for the book.[xviii]

2 months before publication, in a more than cynical bid to promote the volume, Trump waded into national politics.[xix] [twenty] [21] On September 2, 1987, working with his publicist, Dan Klores, and long-running political interlocutor, Roger Stone, Trump ran full-folio ads in major newspapers excoriating Washington for defending allies on the American taxpayers' dime. On Oct 22, he spoke to a New Hampshire oversupply under the aegis of a "Typhoon Trump" motility. Of the speech, Trump said in early 2016, "I wasn't even thinking about [running for president] ... Information technology was a lot to do with my book."[22] "He didn't run," gloated Klores, "but it was probably the greatest book promotion of all time."[21]

Excerpts from the book were published in New York magazine. The book has been translated into over a dozen languages.[9]

Royalties [edit]

Trump and Schwartz had an understanding to split royalties from the auction of the book on a 50–50 basis.[23] [24]

In 1988, Trump set up the Donald J. Trump Foundation to requite away the book'due south royalties, in Trump's words, promising four or five million dollars "to the homeless, to Vietnam veterans, for AIDS, multiple sclerosis".[23] [24] According to a Washington Post investigation those promised donations largely failed to materialize; the paper said "he gave less to those causes than he did to his older daughter'southward ballet schoolhouse".[24] The Washington Postal service asked the Donald Trump 2016 presidential entrada if Trump had donated the $55,000 of royalties he had earned from the book in the commencement vi months of 2016 to charity, as he promised in the 1980s, and it did not answer.[25]

By 2016, Schwartz said he had received some $one.6 million in royalty payments.[23] Schwartz said he would be donating six months of royalties (worth $55,000) to the National Clearing Police Eye, which advocates for immigrants to remain in the Us regardless of whether or not their entry was legal. Schwartz had before donated royalties he received in the second half of 2015, worth $25,000, to a number of charities including the National Immigration Forum. Schwartz said he wanted to help the people Trump was attacking.[25]

Financial disclosures by Trump for 2018 revealed the book earned over $1 million that year, and it was the only championship of his dozen-plus authored books that made coin.[26] Trump's fiscal disclosures for 2019 reported royalties for The Art of the Deal in the $100,000 to $1 million range.[27]

Book sales [edit]

Precise figures of the number of copies sold of The Fine art of the Deal are unavailable because its publication preceded the Nielsen BookScan era.[18] It had a first printing of 150,000 copies. Several mag and book accounts state that it sold over i million hardcover copies[nine] or one million copies.[4] [28] A 2016 CBS News investigation reported that an unnamed source familiar with the volume's sales placed the figure at 1.1 one thousand thousand copies sold.[23]

Trump said in his 2016 presidential entrada that The Art of the Deal is "the No. ane selling business organization book of all time". An analysis past PolitiFact found that other business books had sold many more copies than The Art of the Deal. While it is impossible to discover exact sales figures, a range of possibilities based on known claims and facts were given. When compared to six other famous concern books, The Fine art of the Deal ranked in fifth identify according to the analysis; the top-selling book, How to Win Friends and Influence People, outsold it by a factor of 15 times.[18]

Reception and legacy [edit]

At the time of publication, Publishers Weekly called it a "boastful, boyishly convincing, thoroughly engaging personal history".[29] People magazine gave it a mixed review.[1]

Three years later, journalist John Tierney noted Trump "appears to have ignored some of his own advice" in the book due to "well-publicized problems with his banks".[30] Trump's self-promotion, all-time-selling volume and media glory status led one commentator in 2006 to call him "a poster-child for the 'greed is good' 1980s".[31] (The phrase "Greed is good" is from the movie Wall Street, which was released a month later The Art of the Bargain.)

Jim Geraghty in the National Review said in 2015 that the book showed "a much softer, warmer, and probably happier figure than the homo dominating the airwaves today".[5]

John Paul Rollert, an ethicist writing about the book in The Atlantic in 2016, says Trump sees commercialism not as an economic system but a morality play.[32]

The book coined the phrase "truthful hyperbole" describing "an innocent form of exaggeration—and... a very constructive grade of promotion". Schwartz said Trump loved the phrase.[33] [34] In January 2017, the phrase was noted for its similarity to the phrase "culling facts" coined by Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway when she dedicated White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer'southward widely derided statements about the omnipresence at Trump's inauguration equally President of the United States.[35] [36] [37]

In 2021, Yuri Shvets, an ex-KGB agent, claimed that Trump had been cultivated by the KGB for xl-years, starting in the 1980s as tensions between the U.s.a. and Soviet Wedlock were thawing. In The Art of the Deal, Trump acknowledges the potential business opportunities arising from the positive plough in the relationship between the U.S. and the Soviet Wedlock which includes the possibility of building "a large luxury hotel across the street from the Kremlin in partnership with the Soviet government." Information technology was during this menses that the ex-KGB amanuensis alleges to have discussed with Trump going into politics and were "stunned" when he returned to the US and took out a full-folio ad parroting anti-Western Russian talking points.[38]

Questions of veracity [edit]

Biographers, associates and fact-checkers have cast dubiety on the book's version of events. To those with detailed knowledge of the projects, the singular hero of the volume appeared instead as a fictional composite of the many power-brokers, doers and domain experts who actually made things happen. This omniscient persona faced exaggerated odds and won overstated profits. Equally biographer Gwenda Blair wrote in 2000, "In The Art of the Deal, [Trump] claims that business deals are what distinguish him ... just his most original creation is the continuous self-inflation."[39] Still, those tracing out Trump's life could not discern the more express reality all at once. Speaking twenty years later, Blair bemoaned her failure, as a biographer, to have "understood how fabricated [the book] was ... how that founding myth was so riddled with at all-time exaggeration."[forty]

Chapter four, "The Cincinnati Kid," tells the story of Trump'southward "first big bargain."[41] According to the book, Donald came upwards with the thought of buying Swifton Hamlet, a struggling flat complex in Cincinnati. He partnered with his dad to turn Swifton around, then, merely as the neighborhood headed irretrievably downhill, tricked a buyer into overpaying: "The cost was $12 million—or approximately a $6 meg profit for us. It was a huge return on a brusk-term investment."[42] Roy Knight, part of the Village'southward maintenance crew, told reporters that the project was actually Fred Trump'southward "baby";[43] biographers more often than not agree. Donald was cloistered at New York Military machine Academy when his father boarded a plane to Ohio and won the property at auction. He attended higher while Fred turned things around.[44] The immature scion did visit on occasion simply only to exercise "yardwork and cleaning."[45] Finally, the sale toll was a mere $6.75 1000000, $1 million more than the purchase toll, representing lilliputian if whatever profit afterwards eight years of expenses (estimated at $500,000) and interest.[46] [47]

Chapter vi, "G Hyatt" tells the story of Trump's truthful first big bargain. Without it, the book opined, "I'd probably be back in Brooklyn today, collecting rents."[48] In his 1992 biography of Trump, journalist Wayne Barrett, who had covered the project in detail, took issue with many of the book'south claims. In particular, he noted the absence of nearly all the key players—from New York governor Hugh Carey, a longtime Trump-family unit crony, to city planners betting their careers on the novel private-public partnership, to Trump's omnipresent number two, Louise Sunshine (herself Carey's former primary fundraiser). "In The Art of the Bargain," Barrett wrote, "it was every bit if Donald walked out onstage solitary."[49]

Chapter seven, "Trump Tower," opens with a fully-hatched plan. "In lodge to put up the building I had in mind," Trump takes us through his thinking, "I was going to accept to assemble several ... side by side pieces—then seek numerous zoning variances."[l] George Ross, one of Trump's lawyers on the project and later his lieutenant on The Apprentice, seasons 1-5, recalled the process differently. Where Trump depicted himself expertly pouring over his "air-rights contract" and "discover[ing] an unexpected bonus,"[51] Ross wrote: "I enlightened Donald about the zoning laws that permitted i owner to sell and transfer unused building rights (commonly called air rights)."[52] [a] 1 key footstep involved the adjacent Tiffany store. "Unfortunately, I didn't know anyone at Tiffany," Trump wrote, "and the owner, Walter Hoving, was known not merely every bit a legendary retailer but also as a difficult, enervating, mercurial guy."[53] However, the tyro cold-chosen Hoving and tricked him into a i-sided deal. Per Ross, yet, the transaction was candid and owed entirely to Trump's well-connected elder: "Donald's father and Walter Hoving had done some business together and Donald's father suggested to Donald that he could piece of work out a fair deal with Hoving in a brusk menstruation of time."[54]

Based on Trump's tax returns betwixt 1985 and 1994 which showed a loss greater than "virtually any other private American taxpayer" during that flow,[55] co-author Schwartz suggested that the volume might be "recategorized as fiction".[12]

Film and TV [edit]

In 1988, Trump and Ted Turner appear plans for a television pic based on the book.[56] The plans had been largely abandoned by 1991.[57]

Mark Burnett, creator of The Apprentice, credited the book for inspiring "his leap from selling T-shirts off racks on Venice Boulevard in Los Angeles to producing boob tube shows," and later, after success with Survivor, the idea of a show starring Trump himself.[58] Trump's monologue opened the long-running show: "I've mastered the art of the deal ... And as the principal I want to laissez passer my cognition along to somebody else. I'm looking for [pregnant pause]... The Apprentice."[59]

Aspects of the book were used as the basis for the 2016 parody film Donald Trump's The Fine art of the Deal: The Film.[60]
