Told by the lead plaintiff of the case and supported by public record and media coverage ‘Trump You: Promises, Lies and Corruption: My Battle With Donald Trump's Fake University’ by Art Cohen is a deep dive into the lawsuits against Donald Trump for his now Infamous Trump University.
Starting with the author’s reasons for wanting to join Trump U and taking the reader through the legal process and up to the end of Trump’s term in office in 2020, this book explores Trump and his team’s response to the lawsuit and actions throughout, consistent with and indicative of his time as President of the United States. As a British bystander reading this I suppose this book fuels my amazement that he managed to be elected. Detailing the long and hard road to securing the $25 million settlement for the victims of the scam and how Trump used the same tactics in his business as he did during his presidency, this may provide new insight into Donald Trump to those across the Atlantic like me and for those who were perhaps unfamiliar with Donald Trump until he stepped into the Whitehouse. For those fascinated, bemused or perhaps still a little shell-shocked by recent American political history, but wanting to learn more about the 45th President, this would make an enlightening read.
