hiatorically uncomplete / dated, in retrospect.

Have you ever watched a movie, with outdated references, phrases and out of touch references to the future? it either turns the movie into something unwatchable, or transforms it into a "cult classic".

this book is "back to the future part two" in written form. it's incomplete and incapable of accurately predicting the future we now inhabit.

In its summary of Mr. Trump, it retells old news because of when it was written. it feels like a time stamped money grab, with new revelations barely discussed given our modern turn of events.

it needs a rewrite, to include the ever changing, ever eroding landscape of American politics.

More like a hit piece than a Biography

While I am not a fan of what Trump has done in the Whitehouse I wanted to know more about the man who is currently running our country. Was he really as bad as everyone on the left says or is he as great as everyone on the right says? What I was looking for was something without the presenters opinion interjected into the facts about the president so I could work on forming my own opinion.This is NOT that book. The distain for Trump in the authors writing and the performers voice is so in your face it makes listening to the story cringe worthy. If you are looking for a non opinionated story of just facts then look elsewhere.
