About this ebook

A New York Times bestseller!

For the first time in his own words, President-elect Donald J. Trump explains his plan to make America great again! He wants to “put America’s interests first—and that means doing what’s right for our economy, our national security, and our public safety.”

Throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump conjured images of American strength and culture when small towns boomed with industry, mom and pop shops bustled, and people said, “Merry Christmas!”

The media scoffed at Trump’s vision and the people who supported him; they were blinded by the Clinton machine. But their eyes were opened after Trump won 62 million votes and the Oval Office. Even Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan said, “Donald Trump heard a voice in this country that no one else heard.” As Trump says in Time to Get Tough, “I’ve built businesses across the globe. I’ve dealt with foreign leaders. I’ve created tens of thousands of American jobs. My whole life has been about executing deals and making real money—massive money. That’s what I do for a living: make big things happen…”

Trump is about to make the biggest deals of his life, and he’s going to make them for America! From reversing lax immigration policies to eliminating regulations that restrict small businesses, Donald Trump understands that America “doesn’t need cowardice, it needs courage.”

President Elect Trump is about to “Make America Great Again” and Time to Get Tough is his blueprint!

Ratings and reviews

Tl;Dr - I read the book, it's absolutely comical because he has no ability to realize that he is making our country worse, not better, and doesn't remember what "he" wrote. I truly feel bad for his ghostwriter. "When you're the President... and your country is burning to the ground right in front of your eyes, your first instinct should not be to party." Does that include the 69 days Trump has spent at a Trump property, requiring extra costs to secure it, rent rooms for security (so he's making money from his visits)? He complains about China getting rich off of us buying their products, says we can make better quality products in the US... so why do the Trumps use China to make all of their goods, which they then sell here at a huge markup? "I've created tens of thousands of American jobs." How many of those workers did he then not pay for their work, or file bankruptcy, screwing investors and workers out of their money, while keeping the profits for himself? Claims he's worth $7B... more like $3B-$3.5B. He's neglecting to factor in the debt on the properties, and exaggerating the scale of properties. His penthouse in NYC, he claims is 33,000 square feet, however city records show it's 11,000 square feet. Yeah, I read the book. I still have a very difficult time seeing how he's "Making America Great Again" when it was already great, under him we've had white supremacists terrorizing people, and all he has accomplished thus far is renaming buildings and using the "protecting religious freedom" excuse to remove the freedom of, and from, religion, all through executive order. Maybe when he follows through with his promises, like not golfing every week; spending millions of dollars flying Air Force One (he's only angry that his cabinet secretaries were caught using what, $3M, at last count? And how it hurt his ratings/reviews) back and forth to his own properties that he is profitting from each visit; his promise to donate all of the money coming in from the foreign sources to the Treasury (as he said he would, to prevent the ethical issues that it raises because of the emoluments clause); him trying to do anything and everything to profit off of the office; cut taxes that would specifically benefit him; his inability to act like an adult and stay off of twitter, when instead, he threatens other countries, destabilizes the diplomatic relations between us and our allies, ratchets up the tension between us/our allies and nations like N.Korea, insults senators and representatives, ensuring they are less likely to assist him in pushing bills through, insulting the news media, journalists, reporters, activists, political opponents, his own staff/attorneys/secretaries/etc, celebrities... basically anyone and everyone who reports the truth that he doesn't find complimentary to him, because he doesn't believe he ever makes mistakes, so he should only be worshipped as perfect. I'm giving this a 1 because I can't give it a 0. Let me know when the Office of the President is not being disrespected by a 71 year old man-child that is under federal investigation, has Jared and Ivanka using private emails on the Trump and Kushner organizations servers for White House communications (wasn't that the same thing he said he would lock Hillary up for?), staffs the government so it can actually function, and worries more about helping the citizens of this country as opposed to helping his rich friends and family.

I guarantee that Trump didn't write any of his books. Full of Alternative Facts Alas, it's a polite version of getting his fans, albeit a minority of the population, to resort to Violence if he doesn't become president in 2024. The glowing review of the book that truly says following Trump & changing the government by any means makes America Great, forgets that what has been America Unique & Great is its form of Government which is a Constitutional Republic which has its foundation in the Bill of Rights which makes us free & a Democracy. What Trump is advocating & his fans openly advocate goes against the Bill of Rights & Freedom /Democracy. So, following Trump & FOX News doesn't make America Great, instead it destroys what the Founding Fathers had in mind & Destroys what America has been & strives to be. Remember, both Hitler & Victor Orban used democratic means to gain power & then destroy Democracy. PLEASE TAKE THIS THREAT SERIOUSLY OR 2022 WILL BE OUR LAST FREE ELECTION.

This man is agood buiessness owner but, would be a very bad president and would run all of us straight to war. Because of him America would be a mad house . And he is a bad representation of America because, as a natuon we are not hostile, rude, or ignorant we are appreciative and great and open to other things.
