Being that I voted for and supported President Donald Trump, reading this book was a means to understanding the process and factors that were part of the Trump presidential campaign 2016. Although much of the book -- by the time I read it -- wasn't news worthy (being that it was already information heard or reviewed previously) it was still interesting to know that there were certain key personnel either added to or changed within the Trump campaign that were important to the outcome.

I read the original THE MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT 1960 by Ted White and I have read some of the successive ones though not all. Since I followed the 2016 election closely there wasn't much I learned from reading THE MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT 2016. The book is more detailed than I cared for but I make the criticism of many books. If you didn't follow the election then you will find this book interesting. ( )
