In his under-recognized 2007 book Think Big and Kick Ass: In Business and Life, Donald Trump dedicated a chapter to “Revenge.” He wrote: “My motto is: always get even. When somebody screws you, screw them back in spades.”
Vengeance is a lifelong theme in the Donald J. Trump story, narrated as it is by Donald J. Trump. In 1992, he told the interviewer Charlie Rose: “I love getting even with people.” He’s fond of quoting Alfred Hitchcock: “Revenge is sweet and not fattening.” In January this year, after his primary victory in New Hampshire, he reiterated: “I don’t get too angry — I get even.”
