This biography published at the very start of President Trump's terms is based on extensive research by Washington Post employees. It began as investigative reporting (March 2016) of the candidates, in this case "more than twenty reporters, two fact checkers, and three editors." Because he had held no previous political office and believed any publicity was good publicity, he was a difficult subject. There are extensive footnotes of sources and on line cache of documents available to readers. No photos.
If you have only the time and interest to read one chapter, make it the Afterword as I did. "More than any other major political figure in the digital era, Trump saw how the social media had segregated the nation into almost wholly separate ideological and cultural camps, each with its own attitudes, narratives, and news feeds. He saw how Facebook had blurred the line between public and private. He took advantage of that shift in culture and turned himself into a human vent, blasting the country with a stream of frustration and anger of the kind that many people had either kept to themselves or spewed online, anonymously. That shift in how people related to one another online dovetailed with Trump's impulsiveness, his tendency to assign blame and name enemies, his quickness to hit back when criticized."
