"I get the feeling none of these people have ever read his damn book."

They HAVE read a one page, double-spaced synopsis, with the suitable bullet points, per the briefer's opinions and prejudices. World leaders lose track of reality when they stop driving themselves.

IMHO it is possible that if one were to read three books:

The Art of the Deal by Donald J. Trump
Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky
The Art of War by Sun Tzu

...that person could rule the world.
