Hayes, fth11050@gmail.com, 05/15/18 I applaud Newt Gingrich for a personal account of President Donald J. Trump, a hands-on hard-driving business man accustomed to completing a job ahead of schedule and under budget, and now drawing on those principles to "Make America Great Again." Newt has been insightful, articulate, the curator rallying Americans to challenge fate, and set the course of history on vectors charted by our Founding Fathers. Newt has been bold and critical, everything at stake, revealing, no-holds-barred, lobbyists at the behest of foreign interests fighting for watered-down U.S. policy on foreign trade, and advocating Globalism, a toxic cloud for the U.S. worker, the middle-class and small business. The 1995 Speaker of the House, grew up an Army Brat, a great Patriot, first to speak out on dangers to the U.S. Gravest of dangers are the political gap between the right and modern-left, and further left now that core principles of liberalism were abandoned; and impairment of government business by career-bureaucrats delaying hundreds of appointments requiring security clearances and Senate confirmation for a year. Newt stresses this is not unprecedented. Abraham Lincoln faced hostility when taking office, of 1,500 staffers 1,400 were let go. Ronald Reagan fired 12,000 Air Traffic Controllers for walking off the job. Newt says that Civil Service and Union rules make it virtually impossible to discipline, or fire a federal employee. Are laws and executive actions that insulate bureaucrats from accountability unconstitutional? Has the world's foremost democracy been subverted by career-bureaucrats? Framers of the constitution never foresaw a 4th branch of government rising to power, is it time for Civil Service reform, or a 28th Amendment? Few know politics and operation of the U.S. Government better than Newt Gingrich. He goes on to explain complexities of the job; the process of pushing a bill through Congress, the health care bill (one-fifth of our economy), renegotiating NAFTA and foreign trade deals, rebuilding the nation's infrastructure, with public work accomplished at the state level, precluding costs of federal red-tape. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, the most sought after counsel of our day, the author of 34 books. I found those 301 pages to read like a text book on the U.S. Government. Every young professional, staffer, educator, business owner, or CEO should own a copy of "Understanding Trump." Review: Most people do not know Donald Trump. Here's your chance! - If you want to understand Trump, this is a book you want to get. Newt Gingrich has a PhD in history. He has a unique ability to apply a historical context to just about anything. He has a simple writing style that makes it easy to read. He was one of Trump's chief advisers during the campaign and still advises them during his presidency. Because of this, Newt has unique perspectives on how Donald Trump operates. Throughout this book, he uses countless examples of how Trump gets things done. One good example is the use of a technique called the OODA Loop. This technique was developed by US Air Force Col. John Boyd. The acronym stands for observe, orient, decide, act, and loopback to observe. He points out that this is how Trump gets things done. Newt observed him during the campaign and he says, "he would go to rallies, see what topics evoked the most reaction from the crowds, orient his focus to those issues, decide what his best message was, based on those reactions, and then act on them. Most often, that action would be in the form of a tweet designed to capture the news media's attention. Then he would immediately switch back to observing to see how his tweets or comments were perceived by his supporters." This is only one of the many examples that Newt gives in this book. Newt understands history, understands the political process, (he was Speaker of the House,) is a good friend of Trump and has observed him countless times over the years, before, during and after the campaign: now as Trump as president. If you want a source or how Trump operates, this is the book for you. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #274,157 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #127 in United States Executive Government #200 in Political Conservatism & Liberalism #436 in US Presidents | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,505) | | Dimensions | 6 x 1 x 9 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1478923083 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1478923084 | | Item Weight | 1.3 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 368 pages | | Publication date | June 13, 2017 | | Publisher | Center Street | ## Images ![Understanding Trump - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81AwVgKnjbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hands-on, hard-driving business man, getting job done ahead of schedule, and under budget. *by A***R on May 16, 2018* Five Star Book Review of Newt Gingrich's "Understanding Trump" Submitted by Frank T.

Newt Gingrich offers a strong and insightful understanding of a complex and very misunderstood Donald Trump. An insider's perspective that we have heard about but until now only been able to imagine. Well written and easy to read. Fast paced and well rooted in facts, with references. Gingrich sounds like the well-informed and experienced political journeyman he is reputed to be. I enjoyed every page and have a very different perspective of the unusual individual holding the nations top political office. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/43236782-understanding-trump](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/43236782-understanding-trump) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
