Publisher's summary

In Raising Trump, Ivana Trump reflects on her extraordinary life and the raising of her three children - Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka - and recounts the lessons she taught her children as they were growing up.

As her former husband takes his place as the 45th president of the United States, his children have also been thrust into the media spotlight - but it is Ivana who raised them and proudly instilled in them what she believes to be the most important life lessons: loyalty, honesty, integrity, and drive. Raising Trump is a nonpartisan, nonpolitical book about motherhood, strength, and resilience. Though Ivana writes about her childhood in communist Czechoslovakia, her escape from the regime and relocation to New York, her whirlwind romance, and her great success as a businesswoman, the focus of the book is devoted to Ivana's raising of her children. Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump will all contribute their own memories to the book.

"Every day, people ask me how I raised such great kids. They are truly amazed when I tell them that there was no magic to their upbringing. I was a tough and loving mother who taught them the value of a dollar, not to lie, cheat, or steal, respect for others, and other life lessons that I'll share now in Raising Trump, along with unfiltered personal stories about Don, Eric, and Ivanka from their early childhood to becoming the first sons and daughter." (Ivana Trump)

You don't have to be a Donald supporter to enjoy.

Ivana Trump recounts an amazing story how she mostly by herself reared Don Jr ,Ivanka, and Eric.
Her children were given a wide expouser. The tools they needed to be independent survive the downside of being TRUMP. To use the benefit of being TRUMP.

A book with warm and inspiring life stories

I got this book through Audiobook and the listening experience is fantastic.
I downloaded it earlier today and already half way through.
Even though the book is titled Raising Trump for publicity, it's more like autobiography of a self-made business women and how she raised her children. There's not much involvement of President Trump in it so far.
It's a nice book with a lot of details and life stories. I think it's worthy spending my time listening to it.

raising Trump

loved it! the narrator /Ivana's mood disapproval with certain situations was great had me laughing out loud so much at the way it could be pictured to have looked like if you were there for it being with what or how it was happening with the story. The story itself was perfect and written well reflecting the person with personality of strength, passion, resilience, dedication, perseverance, compassion, class ,grace and integrity as herself personally into her own life & side of the story into reality that allows everyone to let her introduce herself and gain the real insight personally sharing with us being herself, personally as Ivana does is my favorite part

Inspiring

So inspiring to learn of Ivana raised in a Communist country to rise to the top in a Capitalist country. She is very happy for her upbringing and extremely grateful for her life in the USA!!!

Best book!!!

I truly enjoyed this book! Ivana is such a no nonsense, no bull crap person. A fantastic Mom and Glama! She raised 3 marvelous children. I have recommended this book to so many people to read or listen to while driving. I listened to this from our home in Alabama all the way back to Ohio! I didn’t want it to end. Fantastic!!

Insights You Can Only Obtain from First Ivana

I didnt chose this book to be entertained, though it was sufficient in that regard. I chose it to better understand 45, whom I believe will prove to be the most successful and significant President in my lifetime.

I was relieved to learn about the upbringing of the Trump children. There is genuine character in them thanks to very impressive parenting. It speaks volumes about our President's closest and eternal advisors.

America is truly in better hands thanks in large part to the Trump children. And for that, Ivana has earned my respect and gratitude. I sincerely wish I could call them friends - which is my way of saying moral loyal and trusted friends one will not find.
