During this period, after the US presidential election, President Xi’s visit to the United States and Trump’s visit to China, it can be said that it witnessed several historical nodes in the development and change of Sino-US relations to some extent. Trump is a "dark horse" in the 2016 US presidential election. His "American priority" and "Twitter ruling the country" have surprised the world. Where will he lead the torn United States? This book has a detailed and profound analysis!

During his stay in the United States, Wen Xian paid attention to Trump himself very early. In 1988, Trump clearly expressed his desire to run for the presidency of the United States. Also in that year, Trump was considered to run as the deputy of Republican candidate George H.W. Bush. In 1999, Trump sent an application to the American investigation committee responsible for the registration of candidates for the presidential election, requesting to participate in the 2000 presidential election as a reformist. In 2000, Trump ran for the presidency as a candidate of the Reform Party. In 2013, Trump spent $1 million on the feasibility study of running for the US president. On June 16, 2015, Donald Trump officially announced his candidacy for the 2016 US presidential election, becoming the 12th Republican candidate to announce his candidacy. Trump is good at cross-border management, and the biggest cross-border is going to the White House. This is his long-standing "American dream."

The chapter "Why Him" reveals the deep-seated reasons for Trump’s successful election as president. Trump’s daring words touched the sensitive nerves of American society. The most confusing thing in the world is that he didn’t expect Trump’s rise and Jeb Bush’s capsizing. Trump’s advantage as an "outsider" is that he has no historical burden. Once he becomes a power, he will be unstoppable. No one thought that Trump would go so far. The whole world is wrong. American politicians underestimate Trump. The election is not over yet. The undercurrent of "political distribution" begins to surge. In the process of periodically amplifying, highlighting and venting social dissatisfaction, American democracy is bound to continuously catalyze an increasingly heated irrational atmosphere. Based on social dissatisfaction, candidates and specific voter groups are bound to kidnap each other. All kinds of dissatisfaction, anxiety and anger are like dry wood piled up, and Trump is the one who will eventually ignite. The United States, only the United States, can produce and create people like Trump.

Trump’s ancestors came from Germany, and they had a sense of belonging and attachment to the family real estate industry since childhood. He learned the way of getting along with the strong from his father, which made him benefit repeatedly in his future struggle. He constantly surpassed and marched towards the best, got a pass to enter the rich circle, and finally achieved his own business empire. Trump is a passionate fighter. He believes that passion is much more important than intelligence and talent. He can’t wait to make a deal every day, and he can’t wait to beat his competitors, so as to get super pleasure. In addition to being a successful businessman, Trump is also an excellent educator. Because of strict family education, all his children are excellent, and they have performed well in business and academics.

Many senior media people spoke highly of this book. Lu Xinning, deputy editor-in-chief of People’s Daily, thinks: a "dark horse" that wins in chaos, a "strange drama" that is ironic, and a disease of American politics. Wen Xian, a senior correspondent of People’s Daily in the United States, used the reporter’s "thinking power" and the writer’s "writing power" to analyze Trump and restore the current political situation in the United States. Why Trump? Why did it break the tacit understanding of "dog whistle politics" and who shaped this political "showstopper"? Vivid stories, rich details and profound thinking make people sigh. A good writer may not be a good reporter, but most good journalists can be good writers. Ma Jing, director of North America Branch of CCTV, commented: Mr. Wen Xian’s many years of experience in reporting in the United States has given him a deep understanding and keen insight into American politics. This biography of Trump, which combines many years of personal interview experience, is informative, interesting and readable. It is the epitome of American politics and present situation under the historical background of the continuous evolution of global politics and economic structure. Ge Xiangwen, former president and senior editor of Xinhua News Agency’s Washington Branch, also believes that this work is unique and is a masterpiece of a senior journalist. What is the reason why Trump was born in this election? Wen Xian tells you with his personal experience, his observer’s insight and delicate brushwork, giving you a living Trump and restoring the original appearance of American political games.

Domestic experts who study international politics and Sino-US relations also give high praise to this book. Wang Yizhou, vice president and professor of Peking University Institute of International Relations, believes that Trump phenomenon not only appears in the United States, but also occurs repeatedly around the world. It is a political reflection of the era of globalization downturn. In this sense, it is necessary to study the rise of Trump. Wen Xian’s works provide readers with a good cognitive window from a large number of fresh materials and analysis. Jin Canrong, deputy dean and professor of the School of International Studies at Renmin University of China, believes that Trump’s unexpected rise in the Republican Party in the United States reflects the profound changes in American politics, and the reasons behind the political phenomenon represented by this man are worthy of in-depth consideration by the academic and media circles. This book provides us with a good starting point. Ruan Zongze, executive vice president and researcher of China Institute of International Studies, thinks: Why him? Why can he provoke the sensitive nerves of American society? As an "outsider", Trump startled Americans. The author is based in the United States and has experienced the political changes in the United States. Listen to him tell you the extraordinary story of Trump.

This book comprehensively and profoundly depicts the image of a new American president, and provides a new perspective and breakthrough point for people to understand Trump himself, American politics, the changes in the current international situation and the development of Sino-US relations. It is a high-level and high-quality biography of international politicians and is worth collecting.
