Video transcript We’re going up to a place called Syracuse and we’re going to get some wonderful people elected. This is Iron Mike Tyson. I won’t be fighting him today. But I’ve been his fan for a long time. We’ve been friends for a long time, Iron Mike. There’s nobody like him. He was the champ. He was a real champ. People were afraid to fight him. They were afraid to fight him. He was something special. So he’s going with us to Syracuse.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
