"Based on unique access to the president and his staff, [this book] tells the real story of what Donald Trump is like, who influences him, how he makes decisions, what he says about the people around him, and how he operates when the television lights go off. Ron Kessler portrays the inside story of Trump's successes that have already brought solid results as well as the stumbles that have turned off even longtime supporters and undercut his agenda. Never before has an American president had so much impact on the country and the world in so short a time as Donald Trump. And no president has stirred so much controversy, dominating media coverage and conversation both pro and con. In a matter of months after Trump took office, consumer confidence hit a seventeen-year high, unemployment plummeted to the lowest level in seventeen years, and the stock market zoomed to repeated record highs. At the same time, ISIS was nearly defeated, Arab countries banded together to stop financing terrorists and promoting radical Islamic ideology, and Trump's decision to send missiles into Syria because of its use of chemical weapons and his strident warnings to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made it clear to adversaries that they take on the United States at their peril. Yet for all the media coverage, Trump remains a cypher. Ronald Kessler has known Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for two decades and understands him better than any other journalist. Based on exclusive interviews with President Trump and his team and crammed with media-grabbing revelations, Inside the Trump White House is the unvarnished and unbiased book on the Trump White House that answers the question: Who is Donald Trump?"--Dust jacket.

Presents a story of the forty-fifth president and the Trump White House, sharing insights into who influences the president, how he makes decisions, what he really thinks, and how he has navigated his successes and failures.
