“This is the book Trump fears most.” —Axios
“Will be a primary source about the most vexing president in American history for years to come.” —Joe Klein, The New York Times
“A uniquely illuminating portrait.” —Sean Wilentz, The Washington Post
“[A] monumental look at Donald Trump and his presidency.” —David Shribman, Los Angeles Times
From the Pulitzer-Prize-winning New York Times reporter who has defined Donald J. Trump's presidency like no other journalist, Confidence Man is a magnificent and disturbing reckoning that chronicles his life and its meaning from his rise in New York City to his tortured post-presidency.
Few journalists working today have covered Donald Trump more extensively than Maggie Haberman. And few understand him and his motivations better. Now, demonstrating her majestic command of this story, Haberman reveals in full the depth of her understanding of the 45th president himself, and of what the Trump phenomenon means.
Interviews with hundreds of sources and numerous interviews over the years with Trump himself portray a complicated and often contradictory historical figure. Capable of kindness but relying on casual cruelty as it suits his purposes. Pugnacious. Insecure. Lonely. Vindictive. Menacing. Smarter than his critics contend and colder and more calculating than his allies believe. A man who embedded himself in popular culture, galvanizing support for a run for high office that he began preliminary spadework for 30 years ago, to ultimately become a president who pushed American democracy to the brink.
The through-line of Trump’s life and his presidency is the enduring question of what is in it for him or what he needs to say to survive short increments of time in the pursuit of his own interests.
Confidence Man is also, inevitably, about the world that produced such a singular character, giving rise to his career and becoming his first stage. It is also about a series of relentlessly transactional relationships. The ones that shaped him most were with girlfriends and wives, with Roy Cohn, with George Steinbrenner, with Mike Tyson and Don King and Roger Stone, with city and state politicians like Robert Morgenthau and Rudy Giuliani, with business partners, with prosecutors, with the media, and with the employees who toiled inside what they commonly called amongst themselves the “Trump Disorganization.”
That world informed the one that Trump tried to recreate while in the White House. All of Trump’s behavior as President had echoes in what came before. In this revelatory and newsmaking book, Haberman brings together the events of his life into a single mesmerizing work. It is the definitive account of one of the most norms-shattering and consequential eras in American political history.

The book gives many known and also unknown details about the man and family history. Lots of research has gone into the earlier years, the failures and betrayals committed by Trump. Many of the outrageous things the man has done are known from the extensive media coverage many readers might have followed (it is almost unavoidable, anyway). Still, additional researched background information do help to understand what we have seen in the news since he entered the political arena.
This book shows that the American society has suffered enormous damage by Trump. It shows a scary portrait of Trump´s greed for money and influence and his fascist dominance over anybody and anything in his path. It demonstrates that the American model is defective with Trump and his troops taking advantage of it while scratching away the thin veneer of decency and exposing the lowest instincts of the Trump sycophants and fans. History will certainly use this book in trying to explain the man and how America let him get to the levers of power.
It is amazing that Haberman provides so much first hand information, although she was/is known to be objective and critical of the man an his actions. The book shows the abysmal character of Trump, who willingly gives insights into his thinking. .
A word on Maggie Haberman as a speaker: She shows the same unemotional composure that we are familiar with from her TV appearances. While this is a little tiring to listen to at times, it also adds to the image of a great journalist, who is fair and believable.
