by Casey B. Mulligan
(c) copyright 2020


To avoid interrupting the intriguing and mostly untold stories about President Trump and his team working on economic matters, this book has no footnotes or endnotes. However, it was written based on precise and detailed records, many of which are shared at the end of each chapter in sections called “Further Watching and Reading.” The end of the book also includes thorough bibliographies.
