Making a Deal with Trump
Learning How to Negotiate with the Most Unconventional Leader in the Modern World
Leadership & Negotiation
Donald J. Trump doesn’t negotiate like a typical president, CEO, or diplomat—and that’s exactly why so many people fail when they sit across the table from him. Making a Deal with Trump is a practical guide to understanding his unique negotiation psychology.
Drawing on Trump’s history as a dealmaker and world leader, John A. Alexander explains how Trump thinks, what he respects, and why he responds to strength, clarity, loyalty, and big, visible wins. You’ll discover why traditional diplomatic scripts don’t work, how he reads confidence (and weakness) within minutes, and how to frame proposals that actually get his attention.
This is not a political book—it’s a blueprint for presidents, diplomats, CEOs, and ordinary readers who want to understand the new era of personality-driven leadership and negotiation.
