"To me it's very simple: if you're going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big, the current occupant of the Oval Office wrote in The Art of the Deal, an autobiographical book written with journalist Tony Schwartz in 1987, when Donald Trump was already a prominent figure in the Big Apple."
"His empire has been bolstered by ties to the monarchies of the Persian Gulf, where his fortune has grown exponentially thanks to sheikhs and the cryptocurrency industry. This is the same region where Washington has now unleashed a war, in alliance with Israel, and where he plans to rebuild the Gaza Strip—destroyed by Israel—into a luxury resort."
"I keep a lot of balls in the air, because most deals fall out, no matter how promising they seem at first, the Republican wrote in his manual from the 1980s. For President Trump, everything is business."
Donald Trump inherited his father Fred's real estate business in Brooklyn and Queens and transformed it into a global empire worth between $6.5 billion and $7.5 billion. His aggressive business philosophy, articulated in his 1987 book The Art of the Deal, emphasizes thinking big and maintaining multiple business opportunities simultaneously. Trump Tower became an iconic symbol of his success, reshaping the New York skyline. His wealth now extends beyond traditional luxury real estate into diverse ventures including casinos, golf courses, and international partnerships with Persian Gulf monarchies and cryptocurrency industries. His business approach treats all endeavors, including his presidency, through a transactional lens.
