Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again is a non-fiction book by Donald Trump. It was published in hardcover format by Regnery Publishing in 2011, and reissued under the title Time to Get Tough: Make America Great Again! in 2015 to match Trump's 2016 election campaign slogan.[4][3] Trump had previously published The America We Deserve (2000) as preparation for his attempt to run in the 2000 U.S. presidential campaign with a populist platform.[1]Time to Get Tough in contrast served as his prelude to the 2012 U.S. presidential campaign, with a conservative platform.[1]
In the book, Trump argues that he would be an effective leader of the United States.[1] Mixing personal stories with his prescriptions for U.S. policy, Trump recounts lessons learned as host of The Celebrity Apprentice and his experience being satirized at the 2011 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.[5] On domestic policy, Trump recommends abolishing U.S. corporate tax and raising the retirement age.[1] On foreign policy, he criticizes the negative impact of China and OPEC on the U.S.[1][6] Trump praises Russian leader Vladimir Putin, saying, "I respect Putin and the Russians".[7]Time to Get Tough asserts business experience can be transposed into governmental success, and that experiences in global finance deals can help negotiate governmental agreements.[2]
Breitbart News contributors Wynton Hall and Peter Schweizer helped write the book, as did writer Meredith McIver.[8][4] The book debuted at No. 27 on The New York Times Best Seller list.[9] A book review from On the Issues was critical, noting how Trump had flip-flopped on political views from his previous policy book.[1]The New York Review of Books called the book's domestic-policy writing style boring.[2]Washington Post book critic Carlos Lozada criticized Trump for lambasting The New York Times on his campaign while simultaneously advertising the book as a New York Times Best Seller.[3]Entertainment Weekly called the work a "diatribe against the Obama presidency, illegal immigration, and the people and media outlets who have dared to criticize him."[5]
