Real Estate Billionaire. Reality TV star. President?

Donald Trump inherited a fortune from his father. But he wanted more.

Shrewd and indefatigable, he never missed an opportunity to expand his holdings. He transformed himself into an international brand. He marketed his personality into a product.

He built an empire. But that wasn't enough. He wanted to be President, and he was willing to do and say whatever it took.

Donald Trump, who never held political office, pulled off his ultimate acquisition: the hostile takeover of the Republican Party. Everyone was shocked -- except those who knew him.

Praise for this book

"This book shows the proper medium for a Donald Trump biography: Cartoon!" --Bruce Handy, Vanity Fair

"Just in time for the Republican convention, cartoonist Rall follows his recent graphic bios of Sen. Bernie Sanders and CIA whistleblower Edward Snowden with a comic book peek into the life and times of America's favorite short-fingered vulgarian. Given that Rall once called on Barack Obama to resign, saying the 44th president made 'Bill Clinton look like a paragon of integrity and follow-through, ' it's a safe bet that Trump won't be flogging this one on his campaign website" --The Millions
