Why let others bring you down when your self-confidence can be devoured by your very own inner monologue?

The Art of the Deal

 

Online at www.archive.org

 

I've been wanting to buy a copy of the book by that (in-)famous self-proclaimed master of "The Art of the Deal" on ebay but this one at $2,474.93 (before tariffs!) - click here - is hardly the sort of deal the self-proclaimed master would have recommended.

Anyway, I've decided to wait for the new edition to come out which will include a new chapter on how to lose your nerve and shit the bed when things get too hard which, sources say, includes a case study of how to pretend to be a tough-guy by imposing global tariffs, and then spectacularly backing down just hours later when you realise you’re totally out of your depth and you don’t know what you’re doing.

 

 

The blurb on the backcover reads, "The guy is a business genius. The way he has undermined business confidence, organised our trading partners against us and created huge uncertainty without any gains for the US is very, very clever". I'll buy it before the new tariffs kick in!
