Who is Donald J. Trump? To truly understand America's forty-fifth president, argues Vanity Fair journalist Emily Jane Fox, you must know his children, whose own stories provide the key to unlocking what makes him tick. Reexamining the tabloid-soaked events that shaped their lives in startling new detail, Born Trump is full of surprising insights, previously untold stories, and delicious tidbits about their childhoods and the extraordinary power they now wield.
Even before Trump's oldest child, Don Jr., was born, Donald told friends that he wanted at least five kids?to make sure there was a greater probability one would turn out just like him. His vision didn't pan out exactly as he'd imagined, but Trump's children each inherited some of his essential traits?as one source says, ?collectively, they make the whole.?
Come for the vision of Trump as a father. Stay for the revelatory gossip, the inside scoop on Donald's three marriages, why Ivanka and Jared are ?bashert,? and how this family of real estate tycoons has become the most powerful group of people in the world.
