Description
The Trumps: A Family's Rise to Power The Trumps is a revealing family biography that explores the transformation of America from a land of striving immigrants to a world where wealth can guarantee success. The book begins with a portrait of President Trump's immigrant grandfather, who built hotels in Alaska during the Klondike gold rush. His son, Fred, took advantage of government subsidies and loopholes to construct successful housing developments in the 1940s and 1950s. The profits from Fred's enterprises paved the way for President Trump's rise to fame in the 1980s and 1990s. Gwenda Blair's biography adds a new dimension to the larger-than-life figure who became President of the United States. By placing the Trump family's story within the context of their history, Blair provides a nuanced understanding of the family's business acumen and the role of exaggeration in their success. This biography offers a fresh perspective on the Trump family's rise to power and their place in American history.
