The Definitive Biography of the 45th President

What a thoroughly researched and well documented account. The first hand accounts, first party accounts, financial records and quotes from Trump made it an especially informative read. I will say that this book is heavy. I had a hard time getting through some parts because the narcism was just soul crushing. 

It is fair to criticize the book as not really trying to dig deeper into Trump's warmer moments, but based on first hand quotes from his children and wives, that wasn't really his thing. 

I recommend this book to anyone curious about Trump.

It’s nearly impossible to write an objective book on our 45th president. Though the market was flooded with Trump books on a level not seen with any other POTUS, there’s not much middle ground to be found. In 2016, before that momentous election even took place, a couple Washington Post editors put together Trump Revealed. It’s as balanced an account as you’ll find, and you’ll realize that nothing Trump did in office was surprising if you know about his life and career up to 2016. It’s not only, well, revealing, but easy reading too, which is sort of a rarity in this list. To get a good picture of Trump, I would certainly recommend this book as a starting point. His years in office are so insanely polarizing that I think a book published before any of that happened is actually pretty darn useful.
