I'll review this. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 16:56, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
He criticizes the success rate of President Barack Obama: "success rate" is vague; can we be more specific?
Trump subdivides the book into sections on Social programs in the United States, Health care in the United States, and Taxation in the United States: these topics are linked to suitable articles, but I don't think we need "in the United States" in the link text; it's obvious from context.
observing the Russian leader wishes to beat neighboring countries in the region: what does "beat" mean here? Economically outdo?
He writes of difficult individuals he has negotiated with in the private sector, calling them difficult to deal with and stubborn: wordy.
Time to Get Tough functioned as a prelude during Trump's decision process: it's not clear what this means. If it just means it was published while Trump was still deciding, then say that.
to sync more tightly: "sync" is a little too colloquial for the encyclopedic voice.
the genre of the work was placed within marketing himself and conservative ideology: wordy, and clumsy phrasing; took me a second to realize that "himself" was Trump.
Lozada wrote of the book's reissue with repackaging, i.e., minimal changes to content and significant changes to its exterior, that was a fitting "metaphor in there somewhere for the campaign of a real-estate developer.": this isn't grammatical.
