Mary Trump - The Art of the Scam

There is a version of Donald that millions of people still cling to despite decades of evidence to the contrary. It is a version carefully constructed by his enablers and sold to the public through branding, mythology, and relentless repetition. It is the Donald who is supposedly self-made.

The brilliant businessman. The master negotiator. The entrepreneur who built an empire from nothing and then wrote a book explaining how everybody else could do the same. Remember The Art of the Deal?

The problem is that none of it is true.

Donald has never built anything.

What he has done instead is license his name. He sold other people the right to slap it on buildings, hotels, bottles of water, vodka, steaks, universities, board games, and virtually anything else somebody thought they could sell. What exactly has Donald ever created from the ground up with his own vision, capital, and skills? The answer is nothing.
