A better book: The Art of Negotiating the Best Deal. (https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/negotiating-the-best-deal)

The best deal is the one where everyone still wants to work with you after the deal is done. Not necessarily that everyone gets everything they want, but they're still willing to develop the relationship.

Yeah Trump’s book is about how to burnish your ego and feel like you’re winning whether or not you actually are. A better metric is how to establish long term mutually beneficial relationships with others so that you create an entire self sustaining ecosystem around you. Trump knows nothing about that.
