The Art of The Deal

Political Pundits,

In the interests of imagining where the Free World might be headed in the next four years, I decided to order in a copy of the new POTUS's manifesto:

Donald J Trump (with Tony Schwartz), The Art of The Deal, [Ballantine Books, New York, 2015], 372pp.

It's a rattling good yarn and a first-rate insight into the lunatic, and I'm only about half way through it.
It was first published to mass acclaim way back 1987 when Trumpology was already well established even though the redneck was only 41 years old [the front cover of the new paperback reprint has on it in bold letters #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER!], yet after all this time, nothing has changed.
While there is no denying the dude's capacity for a tremendous amount of work and the fact he's a confirmed teetotaller, which will both serve him well in his new job; in the book, DJ Trump brilliantly and unashamedly reveals himself as an unreformed seriously badass narcissist conman, with mental health issues bordering on psychopathic.

Not the first nor the last time one of those has been in the White House.
The book cost me all of twelve dollars brand new with free postage - a pretty good deal I thought - so that's another dollar change for The Donald to put into his blind trust.
