A revealing unauthorized biography featuring first-hand interviews, including one with “the Donald” himself, by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Michael D’Antonio. In the summer of 2015, as he vaulted to the lead among the many GOP candidates for president, Donald Trump was the only one dogged by questions about his true intentions.

For all those who wonder: Just who is Donald Trump?, The Truth About Trump supplies the answer.
