I was worried when I started reading this book if it was going to be extremely polarized because everything involving Trump now is. However, this book was written by people directly involved with his campaign. I really enjoy reading about politics and current events and this book did not disappoint. . The shock of his win( well shocking to the mainstream media and its viewers) isn't so shocking when you understand the man and his voters. I was impressed by all the personal knowledge Lewandowski shared about the president. Its nice to see a book that is not only accurate but honest about the president. I don't think any thinks President Trump is perfect but its appreciated to see a book based on facts and people who worked with him, instead of books based on rumours and speculation. I would like to thank the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me to reading an ARC of this book. I would highly recommend this book to fans of current events, politics and history.

This is a great insight into President Trump, how he won, and why people voted for him. It was an intriguing read.

I would like to thank netgalley and publisher for providing me with a review copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion of it.

An Interesting and Insightful Look at President Trump, His Unique Campaign and Why He Won

So why would a conservative gal who backed Ted Cruz for President want to read Let Trump Be Trump – The Inside Story of His Rise to the Presidency by Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie?

If you had told me two years ago that I would read a book about President Trump, I wouldn’t have believed you. When Trump was the Republican Presidential candidate, I was not happy and had to decide, would I rather Hillary be President or Donald Trump. Looking at his time in office I see the President has kept a lot of his campaign promises and has made many conservative choices. That’s why I wanted to read this book, to have some insight into President Trump from the people who worked hard to help elect him President.

I’m glad I took the time to read Let Trump Be Trump. It was interesting to learn how he came to toss his hat in the ring for President. It’s hard to forget the crazy 2016 Presidential election and I found it fascinating to read about what was going during the campaign and behind the scenes with Trump and within his inner circle.

There are times I’d like to have the ability to delete some of Trump’s tweets, unpolished comebacks and offhanded remarks. There are times I like President Trump’s unpretentious communication. I appreciate that he is a fighter and truthteller, albeit unpolished, and he doesn’t take the garbage that the press tries to fling at him.

In Let Trump Be Trump, the reader will learn about episodes during the campaign and from his life that helped make this man who he is or reveal what he’s like. Despite his volatile temper and untamed mouth, Trump has lot of people who have worked for him over the years that are very loyal. In this book you’ll find some insight into why that is.

I give a thumb’s up and recommend Let Trump Be Trump by Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie. It was an interesting and insightful read. There’s some profanity in this book related to conversations by Trump and the people who worked with him, so if that’s something that bothers you, you may want to pass on reading this book.

I would like to thank NetGalley and Hachette Book Group, Inc for the opportunity to read Let Trump Be Trump in exchange for an honest review. I was under no obligation to give a favorable review.

An interesting look from one point of view. Gives some insight into the President and those who voted for him.

I can remember when this book was announced and press release copies sent out. It seemed like the news could only focus on things like the fact President Trump ate McDonald’s food and anything negative that could be found in its pages. I was surprised then by what I read after hearing those accounts.

Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie both worked long and hard hours on the 2016 Presidential campaign for Donald Trump. They were there on the ground, next to the man and his personal staff, doing their best to see that he was elected. They knew each other but worked on the campaign at different times, notably due to Lewandowski’s dismissal at one point. Don’t let the dismissal mislead you thought as he explains why and how it happened as well as the mutual respect and admiration he and President Trump still have for one another in this book.

While the reader must assume that the perspective that this book is coming from is that of two complete supporters of Donald Trump as President, it still provides a look behind the scenes of the campaign and those involved. These are names that have resonated with political pundits and news agencies ever since Trump announced he was planning on running, more often than not in an unfavorable light. This backstage glimpse into what happened is an interesting read and one that covers everything from the start.

The one thing that will be inevitably happen to those reading the book is that sides will be taken much like they were during the campaign and since. Those who support President Trump will see it as a book that shows his love of this country and its people, the durability, stamina, determination and a man smart enough to hire the best of the best to aid him in his pursuit. Those who hate him will find his discipline, his expectations of only the best from those around him and his outbursts at times, something every human has at one point or another, to paint him as a tyrant.

I was not a supporter of Trump during the primaries but did vote for him, a mark against me I’m sure for those that hate him to this day. For me the book filled in a number of the gaps with items I wasn’t aware of and things none of us were privy to during the election. None of it would have changed my mind and in actuality it might have pushed me more towards a respect for him rather than away.

But as I said, this book is written by two men who are definite supporters. Some would think it’s not surprising that they have a fondness for President Trump but that would ignore the fact that Lewandowski was dismissed. At the same time it would be dishonest to say the book was completely unbiased.

The only complaint I found with the books was that frequently the authors chose to name everyone who helped at various stages of the campaign. I understand they wanted to make a point not to omit the names of those who helped and supported them but at times it reads like a list of names at different parts of the book, not saying much about those people other than to name them. It’s sort of like an Oscar winner who pulls out a sheet and begins reading names.

Aside from that minor bit and admitting the bias, the book was an interesting read and those interested in politics would do well to give it a read.

This book was really well written and have a unique look into probably the most surprising elections. I loved reading everything from behind the scenes.
There are many people who are against Trump, and many books sharing that viewpoint. It was really wonderful to read for/from the other side of the table.
I really enjoyed this book and I would definitely recommend it.

This books is written exactly like you would expect it to be written once you realize who the authors are (this is not meant to disparage, but rather qualify what is written). You have been warned. However, once you embrace where this book is coming from, you can gain some insight and value from it. The authors certainly are knowledgable about Trump's campaign and how he operated, even better than journalists with tremendous access. I feel that there certainly are some embellishments within this book, and revelations have been withheld, but overall, this book is valuable for gaining another perspective on Trump, the candidate, the president, and the person. I would recommend reading this book in conjunction with the other recent 2016 election book releases to observe the event from all angles.

An informative insider view of President Donald Trump, and solidifies my respect for a man who clearly loves America.

Love him or hate him, you have to admit that Trump's campaign for the presidency was unprecedented, historic, and staggeringly surprising for pundits and politicians from left and right. Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie had front row seats and tell their story of the campaign in Let Trump Be Trump: The Inside Story of His Rise to the Presidency.


Lewandowski and Bossie make no bones about the fact that they are fans of Trump. This is certainly not a tell-all book that will reveal some deep, dark secrets casting Trump in a negative light. (We see plenty of attempts to do that in the press every single day.) Let Trump Be Trump is fun to read for the personal stories and perspectives Lewandowski and Bossie tell.


They confirm what America has known for a long time: Trump is a hard worker who never sleeps. He is demanding of his employees but takes care of them and is willing to give people a chance to prove themselves. He values loyalty over resume and experience. He has a playful sense of humor.


For those who are glad Trump won in 2016, Let Trump Be Trump is an entertaining trip down memory lane. No one in the press or the political establishment thought Trump was going to win. The Republicans bailed on him again and again. Yet Trump and many of those closest to him never doubted, never gave up. We may never see another presidential election like this.


Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!

This is a memoir recounting one of the most incredible U.S. Presidential elections in history, when Republican Donald J. Trump triumphed over Democrat Hillary Clinton in November 2016. The book is co-authored by two men who were on the inside and integral to the success of now President Trump's campaign: Corey Lewandowski, Campaign Manager and David Bossie, Deputy Campaign Manager.

The book begins on Election Day when early reporting and returns looked bleak for Mr. Trump. However, the only real poll that counts comes from the one that takes place in the voting booth. Corey and David take you through that nerve-riddled Election day from the inside. Then the story reverts back to Mr. Trump's early aspirations and feelers about running for President, and that day in July 2015 when he descended from the escalator in Trump Tower to declare his candidacy for the Presidency of the United States.

There are a few cute factoids, most notably what President Trump likes to eat and the lengths to which staff would go to serve it to him fresh and warm (following rallies). Above all else, Donald J. Trump respects and expects loyalty. You won't find any dirt here; this book is written by steadfastly loyal friends and colleagues.

I am a very political person, but don't like to read political books. However, this was nicely written and I enjoyed it.

Fantastic read. Great insight to the man himself. Very informative and just a great all round good read. Brillinat for any fan

For many of us, even political junkies, there never has been a political campaign like 2016. On an almost daily basis, we all followed the highs and lows and the unfairness with which mainstream media covered it. It was truly exciting when straight talk and honesty won the day over staged political opportunism and elitist corruption.

Let Trump Be Trump is not a book about political philosophy or the changing social dynamics. It is an insider’s story of the nuts and bolts of Trump’s extraordinary presidential campaign and it carries with it the viewpoints of Lewandowski and Bossie, but never attempts to pretend it is anything other than their birds-eye view.

Admittedly, the book does at times get hung up in particulars and names. But, and it might just be the subject matter, but it’s hard to put down even though much of what’s in here is not secret.
