Quotations from Chairman Trump

By Carol Pogash

The essential wit and wisdom of President Trump: a compendium of things an actual US president actually said out loud to other people.

President Donald J. Trump possesses a great sense of history and himself. A model statesman, he tweets every thought, and more. With one exception, he doesn’t suffer fools lightly. This little red book attempts to capture the great man’s philosophy on governance, democracy, terrorism, and his hair.

The President’s words are preserved here―both as a public service and as a keepsake. Unfiltered. Unabridged. Unauthorized. Unbelievable.

Sample quotes include:

I’m, like, a really smart person.

The Bible means a lot to me, but I don’t want to get into specifics.

It has not been easy for me; and you know I started off in Brooklyn; my father gave me a small loan of a million dollars.

While in politics it is often smart to send out false messages.

Preface

Donald Trump possesses a great sense of history and of himself. A model statesman, he speaks and tweets every thought, and more. With one exception, he does not suffer fools lightly. He’s turned campaigning into a high-ratings blood sport. And he’s transformed the once-stodgy rich man’s Republican Party into a reality TV spectacle starring a multi-billionaire.

For all this, our nation owes Mr. Trump a debt of gratitude. It is because of his outsized impact on our body politic that this book was written. This little red book attempts to capture the great man’s philosophy on governance, democracy, terrorism, and his hair.

With his winning message—We’ll have so much winning, you’ll get bored with winning—he joins a small cadre of great American orators. In time, the eloquence of his words will be woven into the fabric of our society and our T-shirts.

John F. Kennedy told the nation, Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. FDR assured a worried nation, The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Now we can add Donald Trump’s line, How stupid are the people of Iowa?

Unlike some of our most revered presidents, Mr. Trump does not need a Ted Sorensen (JFK’s speechwriter) or a Peggy Noonan (Ronald Reagan’s speechwriter) to turn a phrase. He turns his own and, as he would point out, he does it better and for less money. He has an uncanny ability to speak his

Reviews for Quotations from Chairman Trump

[musichick52 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Here we have an extremely clever idea. Putting the outrageous mouth drool from the Donald into the format of Mao's "Little Red Book". Unfortunately, I will not be clutching thing under my armpit but will be sharing with those who can discern the sanity from the insanity. There's no business like show business. Or politics. My thanks to the author and Goodreads for a complimentary copy.
