Heartfelt thanks to my wife, Barbara, for her patience, even as she writes a longer and more exacting book herself; to our shared executive assistant, Danella Connors, for her inspiring thoroughness and invaluable help in anything requiring organization and technology; and to my son James for his selfless assistance in research, editorial advice, and always good-humored tutorials in technical areas. And thanks to Nancy Feuerborn and Harry Crocker of Regnery for their unfailing cooperation. Finally, I wish also to thank Rhona Graff of the Trump Organization, for her many kindnesses and courtesies over the years when she was the conduit between Mr. Trump and myself.
