Trump: The Fine art of the Deal is a 1987 book credited to Donald J. Trump and announcer Tony Schwartz. Part memoir and part business-advice book, it was the first volume credited to Trump,[ane] and helped to brand him a household name.[2] [3] Information technology reached number 1 on The New York Times Best Seller list, stayed in that location for 13 weeks, and altogether held a position on the list for 48 weeks.[four] The book received additional attention during Trump'southward 2016 campaign for the presidency of the United States. Trump cited it as 1 of his proudest accomplishments and his 2d-favorite book afterward the Bible.[5] [6]

Schwartz chosen writing the book his "greatest regret in life, without question," and both he and the book's publisher, Howard Kaminsky, alleged that Trump had played no role in the actual writing of the book. Trump has personally given conflicting accounts on the question of authorship.[4] [vii]

Synopsis [edit]

The book talks about Trump'south childhood in Jamaica Estates, Queens. It then describes his early work in Brooklyn prior to moving to Manhattan and building The Trump Organization, his actions and thoughts in developing the Grand Hyatt Hotel and Trump Tower, in renovating Wollman Rink, and regarding various other projects.[8] The book also contains an eleven-step formula for business concern success, inspired past Norman Vincent Peale'southward The Power of Positive Thinking.[9]

Development [edit]

Trump was persuaded to produce the volume by Condé Nast owner Si Newhouse after the May 1984 event of his mag GQ—with Trump appearing on the cover—sold well.[9] [10] Announcer Tony Schwartz was recruited directly by Trump afterward he read Schwartz's 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 Primal Park South in 1982.[4] To Schwartz'southward 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 office.[four] Schwartz was hired to write the volume for $250,000 upfront; Trump assigned him half of the royalties.[four] Schwartz later admitted that his motivation was purely financial. He needed the money to support his new family unit.[eleven]

According to Schwartz in July 2016, Trump did not write any of the volume, choosing only to remove a few critical mentions of business organization colleagues at the stop of the process. Trump responded with alien stories, saying "I had a lot of option of who to have write the volume, and I chose Schwartz", but and so said "Schwartz didn't write the book. I wrote the book." Former Random House head Howard Kaminsky, the book's original publisher, said "Trump didn't write a postcard for us!"[four] The volume was published with the authorship given every bit "Donald Trump with Tony Schwartz". In 2019, Schwartz suggested that the work exist "recategorized equally fiction."[12]

To inform the content and style, Schwartz drew on the already-substantial archive of news, profiles and books about Trump as well equally interviews with Trump associates. When interviews with Trump himself proved unproductive, the two struck on an unusual alternative: Schwartz listened in on Trump's office telephone calls for several months to witness the dealmaker in activeness.[four] The experience was condensed into chapter one, "Dealing: A Calendar week in the Life," which introduces the reader to countless boldface names and events. The chapter was excerpted in New York Magazine to promote the book[thirteen] and served every bit a pattern for future autobiographies.[fourteen]

Schwartz was the subject field of a July 2016 commodity 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 too stated that if it were to be written today information technology would be very unlike and titled The Sociopath.[4] Schwartz repeated his self-criticism on Good Morning America, saying he had "put lipstick on a pig."[xv] In response to these claims, Trump's attorneys demanded that Schwartz cede all his royalties from the book to Trump.[16] [17]

Publication and promotion [edit]

The Art of the Deal was published in Nov 1987 by Random House. A promotional campaign was undertaken in conjunction with its release. This included Trump holding a release party at Trump Tower, hosted by Jackie Mason, featuring a glory-filled guest listing.[9] In that location were a series of appearances by him on television receiver talk shows.[18] Trump also appeared on a number of magazine covers as part of publicity for the volume.[18]

Two months before publication, in a more than contemptuous bid to promote the book, Trump waded into national politics.[19] [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 October 22, he spoke to a New Hampshire oversupply under the aegis of a "Draft Trump" move. Of the speech, Trump said in early on 2016, "I wasn't fifty-fifty thinking about [running for president] ... It was a lot to practise with my book."[22] "He didn't run," gloated Klores, "just it was probably the greatest book promotion of all fourth dimension."[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 agreement to split royalties from the sale of the book on a fifty–50 basis.[23] [24]

In 1988, Trump set up the Donald J. Trump Foundation to give abroad the book'due south royalties, in Trump'due south words, promising four or five meg 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 girl's ballet school".[24] The Washington Mail service asked the Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign if Trump had donated the $55,000 of royalties he had earned from the book in the beginning six months of 2016 to charity, as he promised in the 1980s, and it did not respond.[25]

By 2016, Schwartz said he had received some $1.vi million in royalty payments.[23] Schwartz said he would be donating six months of royalties (worth $55,000) to the National Immigration Law Centre, which advocates for immigrants to remain in the United states regardless of whether or not their entry was legal. Schwartz had earlier donated royalties he received in the second one-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 past Trump for 2018 revealed the volume earned over $1 million that yr, and it was the merely title of his dozen-plus authored books that made money.[26] Trump's fiscal disclosures for 2019 reported royalties for The Art of the Bargain in the $100,000 to $i million range.[27]

Book sales [edit]

Precise figures of the number of copies sold of The Art of the Deal are unavailable because its publication preceded the Nielsen BookScan era.[18] It had a get-go printing of 150,000 copies. Several mag and volume accounts state that it sold over one million hardcover copies[nine] or one million copies.[four] [28] A 2016 CBS News investigation reported that an unnamed source familiar with the volume's sales placed the figure at 1.ane million copies sold.[23]

Trump said in his 2016 presidential entrada that The Art of the Deal is "the No. ane selling business concern book of all time". An analysis by PolitiFact institute that other business books had sold many more than copies than The Art of the Deal. While it is impossible to find exact sales figures, a range of possibilities based on known claims and facts were given. When compared to half dozen other famous business books, The Art of the Deal ranked in fifth place according to the analysis; the peak-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 disarming, thoroughly engaging personal history".[29] People mag gave it a mixed review.[1]

Iii years later, journalist John Tierney noted Trump "appears to have ignored some of his own communication" in the book due to "well-publicized bug with his banks".[30] Trump's self-promotion, best-selling book and media glory condition led one commentator in 2006 to call him "a poster-child for the 'greed is skilful' 1980s".[31] (The phrase "Greed is skillful" is from the movie Wall Street, which was released a month afterward The Fine art of the Deal.)

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

John Paul Rollert, an ethicist writing almost the volume in The Atlantic in 2016, says Trump sees capitalism not every bit an economic organisation but a morality play.[32]

The book coined the phrase "truthful hyperbole" describing "an innocent grade of exaggeration—and... a very effective course of promotion". Schwartz said Trump loved the phrase.[33] [34] In January 2017, the phrase was noted for its similarity to the phrase "alternative facts" coined past Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway when she defended White House Printing Secretary Sean Spicer'south widely derided statements about the attendance at Trump'due south inauguration as 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 40-years, starting in the 1980s as tensions between the U.s.a. and Soviet Wedlock were thawing. In The Art of the Bargain, Trump acknowledges the potential business organization opportunities arising from the positive turn in the relationship between the U.Southward. and the Soviet Union which includes the possibility of building "a big luxury hotel across the street from the Kremlin in partnership with the Soviet regime." It was during this period that the ex-KGB agent alleges to accept discussed with Trump going into politics and were "stunned" when he returned to the U.s. and took out a full-page ad parroting anti-Western Russian talking points.[38]

Questions of veracity [edit]

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

Chapter four, "The Cincinnati Kid," tells the story of Trump'southward "first big deal."[41] According to the book, Donald came up with the idea of ownership Swifton Village, a struggling apartment complex in Cincinnati. He partnered with his dad to plow Swifton around, then, just as the neighborhood headed irretrievably downhill, tricked a heir-apparent into overpaying: "The toll was $12 meg—or approximately a $vi million turn a profit for us. It was a huge return on a brusque-term investment."[42] Roy Knight, part of the Village's maintenance crew, told reporters that the project was actually Fred Trump's "baby";[43] biographers generally agree. Donald was cloistered at New York War machine Academy when his male parent boarded a plane to Ohio and won the property at auction. He attended college while Fred turned things around.[44] The young scion did visit on occasion but just to do "yardwork and cleaning."[45] Finally, the sale toll was a mere $half-dozen.75 million, $1 million more the purchase price, representing picayune if any profit after eight years of expenses (estimated at $500,000) and interest.[46] [47]

Chapter six, "One thousand Hyatt" tells the story of Trump's true start big deal. Without it, the volume opined, "I'd probably be dorsum in Brooklyn today, collecting rents."[48] In his 1992 biography of Trump, announcer Wayne Barrett, who had covered the projection in item, took issue with many of the book's claims. In particular, he noted the absence of nearly all the primal players—from New York governor Hugh Carey, a longtime Trump-family crony, to city planners betting their careers on the novel private-public partnership, to Trump's omnipresent number two, Louise Sunshine (herself Carey's sometime chief fundraiser). "In The Art of the Deal," Barrett wrote, "it was as if Donald walked out onstage alone."[49]

Chapter seven, "Trump Tower," opens with a fully-hatched programme. "In guild to put upwardly the building I had in mind," Trump takes us through his thinking, "I was going to have to assemble several ... side by side pieces—so seek numerous zoning variances."[fifty] George Ross, i of Trump'south lawyers on the project and after his lieutenant on The Apprentice, seasons ane-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 nearly the zoning laws that permitted one owner to sell and transfer unused edifice rights (commonly called air rights)."[52] [a] One cardinal step involved the adjacent Tiffany store. "Unfortunately, I didn't know anyone at Tiffany," Trump wrote, "and the owner, Walter Hoving, was known not only as a legendary retailer but also as a hard, enervating, mercurial guy."[53] However, the tyro cold-called Hoving and tricked him into a one-sided deal. Per Ross, nevertheless, the transaction was candid and owed entirely to Trump's well-connected elder: "Donald's male parent and Walter Hoving had done some business together and Donald's begetter suggested to Donald that he could piece of work out a fair deal with Hoving in a short period of time."[54]

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

Picture and TV [edit]

In 1988, Trump and Ted Turner announced plans for a television film based on the book.[56] The plans had been largely abandoned past 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 television shows," and later, later on 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 bargain ... And as the chief I want to pass my knowledge along to somebody else. I'm looking for [significant pause]... The Apprentice."[59]

Aspects of the book were used equally the basis for the 2016 parody picture Donald Trump's The Art of the Bargain: The Picture.[60]
