Enrich draws on hundreds of interviews with key players in Trump's orbit, including former White House officials, Wall Street executives, and foreign leaders. He paints a vivid portrait of a president who was both deeply influenced by and deeply antagonistic towards the establishment figures he surrounded himself with.
Wall Street, Washington, and the Education of a President is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the Trump presidency. It is a fascinating and revealing look at the intersection of money, power, and politics in America today.
Trump's Wall Street Ties
Trump's ties to Wall Street go back decades. He began his career as a real estate developer in New York City, and he quickly learned the value of cultivating relationships with wealthy investors. Over the years, he developed close ties to many of the biggest names on Wall Street, including Carl Icahn, Wilbur Ross, and Steven Mnuchin.
These relationships proved to be invaluable to Trump when he launched his presidential campaign in 2015. Wall Street executives were among his earliest and most enthusiastic supporters. They donated millions of dollars to his campaign, and they helped him to build relationships with other wealthy donors.
Trump's ties to Wall Street also shaped his policies as president. He appointed several former Wall Street executives to key positions in his administration, including Mnuchin as Treasury Secretary and Ross as Commerce Secretary. These appointees pushed for policies that benefited their former industry, such as the 2017 tax cuts.
Trump's Washington Ties
Trump's ties to Washington were less well-established than his ties to Wall Street. He had never held elected office before running for president, and he had no close relationships with any of the powerful figures in Washington.
This lack of experience proved to be a major handicap for Trump. He often clashed with members of Congress, and he struggled to build relationships with other world leaders. His administration was plagued by chaos and turnover, and he was constantly embroiled in controversy.
Despite his lack of experience, Trump was able to achieve some of his policy goals in Washington. He passed a tax cut bill, appointed conservative judges to the Supreme Court, and withdrew the United States from the Paris climate agreement.
The Education of a President
Trump's presidency was a learning experience for both him and the people around him. He learned how to navigate the complex world of Washington politics, and he developed a better understanding of the issues facing the country.
Trump's advisors also learned a great deal during his presidency. They learned that it is difficult to control a president who is as impulsive and unpredictable as Trump. They also learned that it is important to have a clear understanding of the president's goals and priorities.
The education of Donald Trump is still ongoing. He left office in 2021, but he continues to be a major force in American politics. It remains to be seen how his presidency will be remembered, but there is no doubt that it was a unique and transformative experience.
Wall Street, Washington, and the Education of a President is a fascinating and revealing look at the Trump presidency. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the intersection of money, power, and politics in America today.
