Confidence Man--#72 finished

 This is a book by Maggie Haberman, New York Times reporter that has been following Donald Trump for years, before he got into politics.  The rest of the title is: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America.  Since I like politics and really don't like Trump, I have probably been following him too much since he was president and then the years after.  I remember watching a Donald Trump show on maybe Frontline that talked about how he was raised and then grew into his business self.  Not much of that in this book but more once he was sort of established in business in late '70s and into the '80s.  A lot of information and a lot of sourcing as you would expect from a reporter.  It still amazes me that so many people that have worked for him, especially in politics have come out & said he should never be president again but none of this gains traction with the Republican voters.  Just a crazy time we live in right now in politics.

There are like 37 WL for this book on PBS so I will probably post & send off at some point.
