Non-Fiction Biography
In the summer of 2015, as he vaulted to the lead among the
many GOP candidates for president, Donald Trump was the only
one dogged by questions about his true intentions. This most
famous American businessman had played the role of
provocateur so often that pundits, reporters, and voters
struggled to believe that he was a serious contender. Trump
stirred so much controversy that his candidacy puzzled
anyone who applied ordinary political logic to the race. But
as Michael D'Antonio shows in Never Enough, Trump has
rarely been ordinary in his pursuit of success and his
trademark method is based on a logic that begins with his
firm belief that he is a singular and superior human
being. As revealed in this landmark biography, Donald
Trump is a man whose appetite for wealth, attention, power,
and conquest is practically insatiable. Declaring that he is
still the person he was as a rascally little boy, Trump
confesses that he avoids reflecting on himself "because I
might not like what I see" and he believes "most people
aren't worthy of respect." A product of the media age
and the Me Generation that emerged in the 1970s, Trump was a
Broadway showman before he became a developer. Mentored by
the scoundrel attorney Roy Cohn, Trump was a regular on the
New York club scene and won press attention as a dashing
young mogul before he had built his first major project. He
leveraged his father's enormous fortune and political
connections to get his business off the ground, and soon
developed a larger-than-life persona. In time, and through
many setbacks, he made himself into a living symbol of
extravagance and achievement. Drawing upon extensive
and exclusive interviews with Trump and many of his family
members, including all his adult children, D'Antonio
presents the full story of a truly American icon, from his
beginnings as a businessman to his stormy romantic life and
his pursuit of power in its many forms. For all those who
wonder: Just who is Donald Trump?, Never Enough
supplies the answer. He is a promoter, builder, performer
and politician who pursues success with a drive that borders
on obsession and yet, has given him, almost everything he
ever wanted.
