My daughter Ivanka’s first book, The Trump Card, is a collection of personal memoirs and business advice. It will be released on October 13th by Simon and Schuster. She’s done a terrific job and I’m very proud of her.
The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life
Ivanka Trump.
A child of privilege with one of the most familiar surnames in America, Trump has managed to avoid many of the pitfalls that routinely plague children of the rich and famous (reckless partying, drug abuse and other mindless self-indulgences) to become a focused, successful woman in her own right-a model, entrepreneur and vice president of the Trump Organization. Eager to share what she's learned at some of the best schools in the country, as well as from her driven, successful parents, Trump is straightforward and fully self-aware, realizing that readers will dismiss her achievements as simple nepotism; as such, she owns her privilege, acknowledges her advantages and then sets about disabusing readers of their presumptions with intelligent, well-conceived, positive advice; unbridled ambition; and a strong measure of graciousness and humility. Throughout this self-help memoir, Trump has sprinkled succinct, practical quotes from famous associates like Arianna Huffington and Tory Burch, bringing further weight to this young career woman's accomplished work.

Avoiding the pitfalls of life speaks to her own intelligence and values as well as that of her parents, and is something that so many others can learn from. She is her own person with a unique perspective on things, and though I have not had a chance to read this book yet, I expect it will be full of intelligent thought provoking insights and a good read.
I’m sure she has put a lot of thought and work into this book, and since it is her first one, it seems natural to pick up a copy and give it a read. You never know she may end up being one of your favorite authors. You never know :-)
Best of Luck$$

Sir Donald. One of the greatest achievments of an achiever is finding a wothy successor. You are an inspiration.
It had been a feast watching Ivanka sometime on....I think it was Discovery or BBC (can't recollect). From what she was saying and narrating, she was very impressive in her thought stream and the way she never appeared to overawed by the name 'Trump'. No doubts, in her own rights, she would make you feel proud. She sets herself apart and showcases herself as a born leader, establishing an example for scores of women, who desire and are committed to achieve and succeed. Kudos!

Trump, your endeavors have always interested me and they still do. And that fact fascinates me because it happens so rarely. I feel like I have been right there with you in your trials and successes. The only time I had some trepidation was when you divorced Ivana. I wondered how that would effect the children. As time has proven, there was no need for me to be concerned. Like the agile cat that you are Trump, you always land on your feet. Your children, including Tiffany and Barron, are fantastic, as is your taste in women.
Ivanka has surpassed all of this world’s expectations and "has managed to avoid many of the pitfalls that routinely plague children of the rich and famous (reckless partying, drug abuse and other mindless self-indulgences)" particularly and especially in the era of Brittany Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton and other souls that lost their way. Ivanka is more beautiful and talented than the women just mentioned. So for Ivanka to avoid the "lure of lunacy," that by itself, shows your great parenting skills Trump, and displays to the world Ivanka’s extreme mental control and her masterful prioritizing of her life.
Ivanka has a very strong, exquisite and free spirit. For Ivanka to continue to successfully conquer the challenges in her life and become "a focused, successful woman in her own right-a model, entrepreneur and vice president of the Trump Organization" is truly outstanding. She is a marvelous star for the Trump Brand. The sky is not the limit for Ivanka.
Ivanka’s book will surely be an inspiration to both men and women. I will certainly acquire a copy. Like your books Trump, no doubt Ivanka’s book will become a collector’s item.
Sincerely, your friend and "Revolutionary Entrepreneur"

You have chosen a great tool to help mold how people will remember your footprints.
This part of the above commentary strikes a chord in my mind. I teach golf on Vancouver Island. Many of my students are retiring women who are some of the most wonderful people. I also promote and encourage the growth of the LPGA for a critical reasoning.
1. Golf is about the last sport which demands courtesy, obeisance to rules, & self-discipline.
2. The young women who aspire to do well on the LPGA must adhere to a lifestyle that is healthy and positive to themselves and to others.
Too many young girls want to be a movie star or rock star. Too many of these stars fail as good examples of good behavior for these girls. The stars of the LPGA publicly display ideal qualities of life as they pursue their dream of doing well in golf. Young girls, like TheBirdieSisters on Facebook have great role models in golf.
Ivanka would feel very comfortable with the stars of the LPGA and will become a wonderful "star" of the business world to which young girls can try to emulate.
Thank you for allowing me this thought,
Glen Osborne
