Donald Trump: 5 Books He Recommends That Will Make You Rich

5 Books Donald Trump Recommends That Will Make You Rich

Trump has repeatedly said that he loves to read, but often “doesn’t have the time,” per The Guardian. Many of Trump’s recommendations over the years have consisted of books written about himself, his business and political lives and the failings of his opponents by friends, supporters, Fox News presenters and conservative allies. Others are certifiable classics, such as Niccolo Machiavelli’s “The Prince,” or business and commerce related volumes such as Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter’s “Cashflow Quadrant,” per Quartz.

His favorite books are ones he has co-authored. According to Quartz, “When asked in November (of 2016) by Extra’s AJ Calloway his two favorite books, Trump named two of his own: ‘The Art of the Deal,’ which came out in 1987, and ‘Surviving at the Top,’ from 1990.”

Most Americans knew Trump as a businessman first. So, perhaps it is unsurprising that he has recommended the following five books about making money and getting rich in the past.

‘Trump: The Art of the Deal’ by Donald J. Trump and Tony Schwartz

In an interview with CNN’s “Crossfire” in 1987, when asked what he was reading, Trump responded, “Well, I’m reading my own book again because I think it’s so fantastic.” “Art of the Deal” is considered a classic for its frank portrayal of Trump as the brash yet motivating deal maker. Primarily written by Schwartz, the book delves into negotiation, maximizing options and smart spending.

‘Rich Woman: Because I Hate Being Told What to Do’ by Kim Kiyosaki

Once married to personal finance guru Robert Kiyosaki, the woman behind the “Rich Woman” brand has a number of books that cover money and investing concepts from the unique perspective of being a woman and the different issues woman face in the financial realm. Trump recommended “Rich Woman” in his “Trump 101: The Way to Success” book, per Kevin Rooke’s website.

‘Cashflow Quadrant: Rich Dad’s Guide to Financial Freedom’ by Robert T. Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter

Quartz reported that Trump recommended this book, co-authored by his own collaborator on two books, Robert Kiyosaki. “The Cashflow Quadrant” is a four-part model taking people along the path toward financial freedom through earning types or categories: employee, self-employed, business owner and investor. The authors hope to help everyone learn how to become a better entrepreneur, manage finances more effectively, generate more income and, most importantly, start using money to become financially secure.

Tory Remainers are the authors of their party’s defeat

On the Continent, the cause is largely frustration with the consequences of being in the EU. In Britain, it is largely a backlash against being out of it.
