A Celebrity Persona

Donald Trump didn't stop at being a real estate mogul. He ventured into the entertainment industry, hosting the reality TV show "The Apprentice" from 2004 to 2015. This move catapulted him into the homes of millions of Americans, showcasing his leadership style, business wit, and larger-than-life personality.

Trump's catchphrase from the show, "You're fired!", became a cultural icon and further solidified his celebrity persona. His fame and popularity grew exponentially, and he became a household name around the world.

Political Aspirations

In 2016, after years of speculation, Donald Trump announced his candidacy for President of the United States. His campaign was unconventional, to say the least. Trump's brash and often controversial style of communication, coupled with his outsider status, appealed to a significant portion of the American population.

Despite facing fierce opposition and skepticism from traditional politicians and media, Trump's charisma and ability to connect with everyday Americans propelled him to victory. On January 20, 2017, Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.

The Trump Presidency

The Trump presidency was marked by controversy, policy changes, and a deep divide among the American people. His unconventional approach to governance often put him at odds with the establishment, but resonated with his supporters who believed he was fighting for their interests.

Trump's policies focused on issues such as immigration, trade, and national security. His signature legislative achievement was the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which aimed to stimulate economic growth and create jobs. However, his presidency also faced criticism for its handling of issues like healthcare, climate change, and racial tensions.

The Trump presidency came to an end on January 20, 2021, when Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States.

Life After the White House

Since leaving office, Donald Trump has remained a prominent figure in American politics. He continues to command a loyal base of supporters and has hinted at a potential run for president in the future. Trump's influence on the Republican Party and American politics as a whole cannot be overlooked.

From businessman to reality TV star to President of the United States, Donald Trump has lived a life of many accomplishments, controversies, and transformations. Whether you admire him or not, there's no denying that his impact on the world will be remembered for generations to come.

Lost Tycoon presents an unvarnished, in-depth portrayal of the man who vows to "Make America Great Again." Although first published in 1993, Lost Tycoon shows us that The Donald's personal character, political philosophy, business ethics, and attitude towards women haven't changed much in the past two decades.

Trump is a man of many lives. He is arguably the greatest self-promoter in the annals of American business. After inheriting a fortune, he made and lost billions in real estate and casino gambling, rising phoenix-like from his own ashes. He is a reality television show star, a father, a grandfather, and an alleged rapist. In Hollywood terms, he has literally been the producer and director of his own biopic--a real life "Citizen Kane" --whose father hammered the same lines into his head when was a little boy: "You are a killer . . . you are a king . . . you are a killer . . .you are a king."

Harry Hurt has created a cinema veritE-style narrative which allows the words and actions of the principals to speak for themselves. It is indisputable that Donald's exploits in business, entertainment, and politics prove that he is--to borrow a metaphor from Fred Trump Sr.--"a killer." Reading this important biography about the real Donald Trump will help you to make an informed and engaged choice as to whether he is worthy of being "king."

Harry Hurt III is an award-winning print journalist, a former New York Times columnist, a former correspondent for Newsweek, a video journalist, and the author of six nonfiction books, including Texas Rich, a bestselling biography of the H.L. Hunt oil and silver dynasty. Hurt spent nearly three years researching and writing Lost Tycoon. He interviewed Donald Trump and observed him in action in New York City and Atlantic City. He reviewed thousands of pages of court documents and interviewed well over 100 people, including some of the most trusted confidants in the infamous Donald-Ivana-Marla love triangle that made front page tabloid headlines.
