About this audiobook

As a writer at Vanity Fair covering the Trump family, Emily Jane Fox has spent the last year doing a deep dive into the lives of the President’s children. Born Trump is the explosive narrative of her findings as an insider within the most influential family in America.

Journalist Emily Jane Fox has developed a personal relationship with Ivanka and has cultivated sources close to Eric, Donald Jr., and Tiffany. She has scoured their Instagram accounts, combed through all their public speeches, spoken to their childhood friends, college acquaintances, business associates, close advisors, and campaign operatives. She’s become the foremost expert on the Trump kids and, now, in this exclusive account, Fox chronicles the experiences of the Trump children, individuals who possess more control than any other First Children in the history of the presidency.

Wonderfully gossipy, Born Trump examines what shaped the Trump children into who they are – a shared familial history that will inevitably form American history in the coming years. Born Trump explores what it was like to grow up Trump and what this reveals about living in Trump’s America, in turn painting an intimate portrait of the 45th President of the United States from the perspective of his most inner circle. Given their father’s need to be in the spotlight, his bellicose and litigious nature, and how often his personal life played out in public, it seems astonishing that his children remain so close to him. And yet this is part of the Trump ethos – like royalty, they stand together, encased not in palaces, but in Trump Tower.

Fox looks at the childhood privileges and traumas, the individual adolescences and early adulthoods that have been lightly chronicled in the tabloids but never detailed thoughtfully or in depth, the family business that brought them back together and the dynamics therein, the campaign that tested the family in ways the children could not have imagined, and now, the wide-open slate in front of them in Washington, D.C.
Full of surprising insights and previously untold stories, Born Trump will quench the ever-increasing desire for a greater understanding of who these people are, how they were raised, and what makes them tick.

    I didn't know who Emily Fox was when I picked up this book. I was informed by a friend she is a regular to comment on matters Trump from the typical side of the mainstream media with appearances on say CNN. That was apparent throughout the book as her viewpoint and analysis was always forefront.What drew me to this particular book however was curiosity and the compelling tabloid nature of this family that also draws me like a magnet. Quite a bit of the beginning is devoted to the interactions and scenarios that played out through the campaign and on through to the election and early days of forming the new government. A bit of a yawner as most of this type of material has been analyzed to death.Then she shifts to the individual players, being the children and their spouses excluding only Baron due to his age and thankfully his privacy. I found it a great insight into the complexities of this first family and the many flaws that are on display everyday it seems. Not your typical family by any stretch but also typical in the flaws and dramas that play out in most.Each individual here is brought into clearer focus to get a feel for their actions and motivations stemming from their biographical histories and experiences being brought up Trump. A good read for not only the curious but also the political perspectives it presents and what we will soon witness as the administration winds to the conclusion of its first term and onto the next round.

    This is a piece of fluff book with a few interesting anecdotes about the four eldest Trump children and their lives growing up. The book appears to have never been proofread by an editor because it is filled with really ridiculous errors - grammatical, spelling, structural. I counted 25 of them, and I'm sure there were probably more. It is a sloppy, slipshod, embarrassing product. Don't waste your time - it's really bad.

    I honestly don't know why I read this - I guess because the excerpt in a recent Vanity Fair was engaging and interesting? And I think I'd have been fine sticking with that excerpt. There were some interesting anecdotes and insights but ultimately I don't think I care enough to have read the whole book - especially when it came off as a real slapdash effort. I read the Kindle version and I've never come across a published book - in print or digital - so filled with errors. It's hard to believe anyone even gave this a proofreading scan. In a story about the Trump kids having a lemonade stand, the text reads that they used powdered Country Crock - which is margarine - instead of Country Time. There are several sentences which are clearly about Ivanka but say Ivana, and dozens of paragraphs where the pronouns used are so unclear that you're not sure who the anecdote is surprising. Typos abound. The book also just ... ends, abruptly, after the profile of Tiffany, without any kind of wrap-up or perfunctory analysis. I guess technically it ends with an Author's Note wherein the writer says she didn't want to write this book but then decided she did. Meanwhile, I started out interested in the book but then decided I wasn't.

    One of the qualifying statements I've always heard people make about Donald Trump is that despite his horrible domestic and foreign policies, he did a good job of raising his children. This book substantially disproves those assertions. If you believe this book, they would have been better off being raised by wolves.

    No, no real surprises---just sort of "sickeningly" revealing---hence the 3 stars. Fox writes in a very readable style and my stars for her writing would be FIVE of them. She gathered all the details she could find -- who would want their lives presented in this fashion? And that's what it is..."fashion." Somehow, I guess this shows that all of the Trumps are completely used to and want the constant public notice----and probably liked this book.....
