Author Kessler: We've Yet to See the 'Real Donald Trump'

"I interviewed his longtime assistant and vice president Norma Foerderer, who went back to when he didn't even have an office," says Kessler,

In a 2006 Kessler article titled "The Real Donald Trump," she revealed, “Donald can be totally outrageous, but outrageous in a wonderful way that gets him coverage. That persona sells his licensed products and his condominiums. You know Donald’s never been shy, and justifiably so, in talking about how wonderful his buildings or his golf clubs are.”

The private Donald Trump, on the other hand, is “the dearest, most thoughtful, most loyal, most caring man,” Foerderer said. That caring side inspires loyalty and is one of his secrets to success.

"If he ever makes it to the general election, he'll know how to appeal to the general voter."

Kessler tells Hayworth a story about Trump dating back to the late 1990s, a story that he says demonstrates who Trump really is.

"When Donald opened his club in Palm Beach called Mara-a-Lago, he insisted on accepting Jews and blacks even though other clubs in Palm Beach to this day discriminate against blacks and Jews," Kessler says.

"The old guard in Palm Beach was outraged that Donald would accept blacks and Jews so that's the real Donald Trump that I know."

Kessler's latest book, "The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of the Presidents," comes out Tuesday. In it, he writes that Hillary Clinton is "nasty" toward the Secret Service agents assigned to protect her, while Vice President Joe Biden has ordered his aides to keep his nuclear football a mile away from him.

"She's so nasty to Secret Service agents that being assigned to her details is considered a form of punishment," Kessler says of Clinton.

In part, Trump is leading because everyday Americans are fed up with self-coronated political Royalty of both parties.

See what I mean? Gracious. Curious.

I’m a Cruz guy but could easily see myself voting for Trump if he’s the nominee, or if he’s running and as indy against a GOPe candidate and Hillary. Trump is authentic, he’s a PATRIOT and he’s not a slimy politician. He will self fund his campaign and owe nothing to anybody! That alone is glorious imho.

I too am a Cruz supporter. I send $$$ to his campaign and still believe he will become the front runner after debates take place.

But...I could see myself casting a vote for Trump. He has definitely tapped into the anger, distrust toward the D.C. used car salesmen.

The GOP in my book are traitors with the exception of a few.

Even if Trump doesn't make it all the way, he is/has been an invaluable voice for the average Joe-six-pack.

Good on him.

Erick Erickson wrote an article about Trump in Redstate several weeks ago and he said that the Donald Trump off camera is a quieter person and very kind to everyone around him.

Last week on the tarmac at Laredo before Trump spoke I think he thought the mic was off and I watched say hi to someone off camera and then ask them if they needed a ride back to NY. He said something like “just get on the plane when we leave and I’ll give you a ride back.” I thought that was really nice.

"Joe Biden … insists that his military aide with a nuclear football — which is required in order to launch a counterstrike against a country that might attack us — be at least a mile behind in his motorcade when he goes to Wilmington, which he goes to several times a week all at our expense. He wants to have this image of a regular Joe.

"The nuclear football is a mile away, which means that it would be totally useless in the event that if Obama were taken out and there was a need to launch a counterstrike and yet the press has totally ignored that revelation in the book."

The press would rather see the country destroyed than give up a slight 'edge' for a democrat who might never run for office.
