The following question was submitted to "Ask Donald Trump" by a Trump University member.

On several occasions you pay tribute to your father Fred C. Trump. We only see a small glimpse of him as a family man and as a business person. Anything in the works to do an inside biography of your father and his early years?

Blog ImageMy first book, The Art of the Deal, gives background information on my father and how he started out in business, and about our family life. It’s a good source.

I learned everything in the world about how to raise kids from this guy (through DT).
Kids want to be entertained and engaged in something, but it does not necessarily have to be toys and cinema and so. THE ROUND is even more meaningful, also for them.

Mr. Trump,

After reading about your Father, I see you kept some of his strongest traits: his ability to market, his enthusiasm, his high energy, his vision to build quality, his frugal approach to negotiating the best price, his grasp of psychology and economics of scale, and much more. KeyS


"Man's greatness lies in his power of thought." - Blaise Pasca

You and your father both have shown strong minds and detailed thought.

My father has helped me a lot in my business ventures. As a successful business owner he has vast experience worth sharing and he had though me to never give up.

What I've read about Donald's dad tells me two things: Donald respects the privacy of his past with his family even though his life is very public; and the great respect he has for his mom and dad has made a big impact in his success. Both of my conclusions confirm things important to me not only in my life but as an expression of other people's lives and how they live them. Mike Michelozzi

It was a classic...book "The Art of the Deal"
Real life working lessons learned for other great and inspired deals.

And you are right on the money...regarding a good family profile. Your father was very much into hard work, morals and ethics. A very great family biography in those specific book chapters.
Very inspired & we loved it!
