About this listen

This program includes an introduction read by the author.

A rare, insider’s look at the life of Donald Trump from Bill O'Reilly, the best-selling author of the Killing series, based on exclusive interview material and deep research.

Readers and listeners around the world have been enthralled by journalist and New York Times best-selling author Bill O’Reilly’s Killing series - riveting works of nonfiction that explore the most famous events in history. Now, O’Reilly turns his razor-sharp observations to his most compelling subject thus far - President Donald J. Trump.

In this thrilling narrative, O’Reilly blends primary, never-before-released interview material with a history that recounts Trump’s childhood and family and the factors from his life and career that forged the worldview that the president of the United States has taken to the White House. Not a partisan pro-Trump or anti-Trump book, this is an up-to-the-minute, intimate view of the man and his sphere of influence - of “how Donald Trump’s view of America was formed, and how it has changed since becoming the most powerful person in the world” - from a writer who has known the president for 30 years. This is an unprecedented, gripping account of the life of a sitting president as he makes history. As the author will tell you, “If you want some insight into the most unlikely political phenomenon of our lifetimes, you’ll get it here.”

No spin Trumph story

Bill O'Reilly is the master of presenting the unvarnished fact in a manner to make then understandable .It was well narrated and hold the listeners interest. Donald Trump a non politician has treated the economy and jobs of America as a corporate business problem .Recognising the counties like China need to adhere to international rules reconising patent and registered designs to create a global economical balance . Trump has put a stake in the ground .

Interesting perspective, too apologetic

The author gives an interesting perspective on Donald Trump and his election victory. The author stresses that he thinks he is 'fair' and has a good enough relationship with Donald Trump to tell him when he believes he gets things wrong. The story is well written, easy to follow and enjoyable to listen to. I like the fact that the author tries to see it Trump's way and tries to explain why 60 plus million Americans voted for Donald Trump. I get all that. I strongly believe we need to listen to each other and see different perspectives.
Ultimately though, Bill O'Reilly (despite the fact he tells us repeatedly that he is fair), he is too apologetic towards Donald Trump. All the nasty tweets, the personal attacks (remember him mocking Serge Kovaleski, a disabled reporter), the lying, the climate change denial, the tearing down of the international collaborations that were built up after the pain of the second world war, all get very little mention, despite the fact that the author clearly was in a position to question Donald Trump on these points. We are not talking here about somebody leading a baseball team or an army platoon, we are talking about the US President - a person with immense power, with giants like Roosevelt, Lincoln, as predecessors.
There is no balance in the narrative, there is very little 'fairness', and although I enjoyed the story, it is ultimately a missed opportunity to find the middle ground and help close the gap between pro - and anti- Trump, hence the overall 2 star score.
