Michael Lewis wrote a sufficiently scathing review of this in "The Money Culture" that I had to read it.

It's all true. Trump really takes ego and hubris to new levels. Some highlights for me include:

The book begins with a week in the life of Trump, which is a heady mix of name-dropping, self-aggrandisement, and acts of charity.
The Cadillac Trump, a luxury vehicle that the manufacturer approached the great man about producing. He assented.

I have to credit him for knowing how to get buildings constructed on time, but Trump displays a phenomenal ability to never countenance chance as playing a role in his success. As a study in delusion, this is a great book - Trump's The Art of the Deal is a strong buy.
