Trump is one of the reasons I started thinking about this. I remember my dad reading Donald Trump books when I was a kid like 25 years ago lol.

'The 48 Laws of Power' and 'Mastery' by Robert Greene.
great book... it's a long read but very informative. A kid I knew let me borrow it from time to time last winter and I'd read a chapter or two every few days.
There's another one I believe is by the same author, "The 12 Laws of War" I think it was.
