About this listen
*THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*
*A Financial Times Book of the Year*
*Economist Book of the Year*
‘A political epic’ – Guardian
‘This is the book Trump fears most.’ – Axios
Few journalists have covered Donald Trump more extensively than Maggie Haberman. And few better understand the polarizing 45th president or his motivations. In this astonishing, illuminating book, Haberman reveals all about Trump the man, the president and the phenomenon.
Interviews with hundreds of sources and with Trump himself portray a complicated and often contradictory figure. Capable of kindness but relying on casual cruelty as it suits his purposes. Pugnacious. Insecure. Lonely. Vindictive. Menacing. Smarter than his critics contend and colder and more calculating than his allies believe. A man who embedded himself in popular culture for decades, laying the groundwork to galvanize support for a successful run for high office.
Chronicling Trump’s entire career, from his rise in New York City to his tortured post-presidency and potential comeback, Confidence Man is a magnificent, disturbing reckoning of the president who pushed American democracy to the brink.

Critic reviews
‘A devastating portrait’ Economist
‘Maggie Haberman, the New York Times’ Trump whisperer, delivers. Her latest book is much more than 600 pages of context, scoop and drama. It is a political epic, tracing Donald Trump’s journey from the streets of Queens to Manhattan’s Upper East Side, from the White House to Mar-a-Lago, his Elba. There, the 45th president holds court – and broods and plots his return.’Guardian
‘[Confidence Man] will be a primary source about the most vexing president in American history for years to come… [Haberman] is an exemplar of her craft, relentless, judicious and even-keeled.’ New York Times

Best Book on Trump
Written with distance to the subject, no sensationalism. It is a character assassination…and deservedly so !

Long but clear
I found this book interesting. The timeline is very clear and offers a good representation of the steps of Donald Trump towards becoming the 45th President of the United States and his time in office. I did find it quite long though.

Absolutely Fascinating
This was beautifully narrated by the author without drama, allowing the tumultuous events to speak for themselves. Her grasp of the relationship nuances was key to the grip of the story. I remember watching some of the elements as they unfolded at the time. Enlightening, and riveting.

Comprehensive
A comprehensive, fact-laden history of a future-historical figure. Well worth a listen or two.

Best of the books on this topic
Maggie Haberman tells to most complete story of Trump's life and the consequences of that on his presidency. Though, I am also a fan of the Mary Trump book. This one better tells the behind the scenes goings-on of his presidency. Fascinating. Extremely well written. And of course, effing scary! Absolutely loved the Epilogue. What a deluded narcissist!

Shockingly familiar and Consistent
Have read dozens of books on our now infamous 45th President. Haberman’s in depth look, echos the same depressing reality.
