What’s the best unbiased biography on Donald Trump?
I've seen a couple titles thrown about. I don't want the nonsense that absolutely glorifies him, but I also don't want total Hitler-esque comparison. Anybody have a recommendation that threads the needle between the extremes?
He’s dishonest and narcissistic. An unbiased biography is going to portray that and then be called biased for displaying the truth.

You can’t write a not extreme biography of a very extreme person

I guess his aunts would be fair game

I would *guess* Too Much and Never Enough by Mary Trump. But to be honest, I try my best to avoid having to look at that man’s stupid face or think about anything he says or does, so I have not read this. I saw a review a while back I thought sounded intriguing, but not enough to actually read it.

Unpresidented by Martha Brockenbrough. Published during his presidency, but thoroughly researched, fact-based and unbiased

My dad gave me a book on Trump. I will get out of my chair and look for the title.

Is there a single human on earth (or at least in the US) who has an “unbiased” view of DT? He is the God of Polarization. I would stick with Wikipedia for just the facts. Any biography will either be written by a sycophant or someone who sees him for what he really is (which, as another poster pointed out, will only come off as biased). (I could never force myself to read any more about the guy than I already have to, but kudos to you for trying to stay informed.)

I read Trump Revealed by Michael Kranish back in 2017. I remember it being a fairly straight-forward story of his life to that point.
