Tony Schwartz , who authored the 1987 book for Trump, says it isn’t exactly accurate in light of The New York Times report that the president lost more than $1.2 billion between 1985 and 1994.

The Art of the Steal , How to Lose a Billion in Ten Years or Dumbo.
They're all great but I've said the same thing regarding your first choice.

Great minds think alike!
