"For the first time in a long time, I found that the American dream was not going well," writes Scaramucci. "As I said, it took the campaign of a guy who lived in a Fifth Avenue tower next to Tiffany to show me what was going on in the American middle class."

Throughout the book, Scaramucci often refers to his own roots in the working class and explains how he loved Trump for years before joining his presidential campaign.

"When I read his book, I experienced a turning point, and although I might not have been able to build a ride, I wanted to dream big like him."
