For three years, back in the late 1980s, Jack O’Donnell worked for Donald Trump.
O’Donnell rose from senior vice president at the Trump Plaza casino in Atlantic City to, eventually, president of that enterprise.
In that capacity, O’Donnell had a front-row seat into how Donald Trump operates. And what he saw was a shrewd dealmaker, a not so great manager, and someone who is motivated almost entirely by how many piles of money he could accumulate.
About four years after Trump published his book The Art Of The Deal, Jack O’Donnell wrote a book called Trumped! In which he revealed the side of the dealmaker he saw in his day to day work.
