Love him or hate him, a lot of people got value from Trump's books. Jeff got value from his books and wanted to provide value to Breakthrough Success listeners when I asked for three book recommendations. That's why he referenced Trump's books. I know that was a lengthy explanation but as Trump is at the center of politics right now, I wanted to make sure you can appreciate Jeff's great insights and his book recommendations regardless of which side of aisle you're in.
