Donald Trump, El Show de Trump, profile of a wind seller (Book) Prologue by David Remnick. Epilogue by Jorge Ramos. Paperback, in Spanish. Like new.

In 1996, Mark Singer, one of the veterans of the New Yorker, drew a portrait of Donald Trump. Twenty years later, Singer not only revisits the profile of the man who is now the official candidate for the presidency of the Republican Party, but also reveals his evolution: from arrogant buffoon to potential threat to a country that considers itself the guarantor of the world order. This Spanish edition includes Trump and Mexico, a text by Jorge Ramos. With a preface by David Remnick.

Since Donald Trump entered the race for president of the United States—in a press conference that featured paid actors and in which he slandered Mexican immigrants—he has monopolized the headlines and become the center of one of the strangest and most alarming elections in American history. It wasn’t always like this.

In 1996, veteran New Yorker contributor Mark Singer profiled the colorful character. Back then, Trump was a lying Manhattan megalomaniac and bankrupt casino operator trying to recover from a bankruptcy that had forced him to take inventory of his home: a skyscraper that bears his name. Chatting with Trump in his offices, apartments, cars, and even on a private plane, Singer found himself fascinated by this man who had achieved the ultimate luxury: an existence without the eerie whisper of a soul.

In this book, the author updates the famous profile and recounts how its publication has been a continuing provocation for Donald Trump, who has gone from being a shrill buffoon to a menace, a billionaire seeking to become the guardian of world order.
