the Art of Bad Deal

A searing critique of Donald J. Trump, from an author who saw through him decades before he ever entered politics.In 1987, while most Americans were reading The Art of the Deal with admiration, 13-year-old Emma L. Peterson took one look at the cover and knew something was wrong. Four decades later, that instinct has been proven right.Written with sharp wit, biting honesty, and unflinching clarity, The Art of the Bad Deal examines Trump through multiple lenses: his probable Narcissistic Personality Disorder, the Epstein files, his cognitive and physical decline, the disastrous Iran policy, the wasteful ICE operations, and the manipulative rhetoric that defines his public addresses.Peterson doesn't just criticize, she dissects. Using Aristotelian rhetoric as her framework, she exposes the logical fallacies, emotional manipulation, and self-serving chaos that have come to define the Trump presidency.What readers are saying:"Brutally honest and thoroughly researched.""The book we need right now.""Finally, someone said it."For readers of political commentary, rhetorical analysis, and anyone wondering how we got here, The Art of the Bad Deal delivers the truth with no apologies.
