He is easily the most contentious politician on the planet … and now you read all about it. Here’s a quote to get you started. ‘I’m the most successful person to ever run for the presidency, by far … We will have so much winning if I get elected that you may get bored with winning.’
Opinion may be divided when it comes to Donald J Trump. Trump, however, speaks very highly of Trump, as The World According to Trump reveals. “I don’t put on any airs,” Donald J Trump once told a journalist, from behind his “100% mahogany” desk. Half the size of a squash court, and brightened up with a stuffed bald eagle, his desk sits amid shelves full of golf trophies and dozens of “important awards” with framed magazine covers all over the walls (no prizes for guessing who’s on them). Ever since he burst onto the scene in a blaze of blondes, boasts and stunningly bad hair, the real estate mogul has given us the TrumpWorldTower and the Trump Castle. Plus Trump Palace, and a few Trump Hotels. Then there’s the Trump Regency and the various Trump Taj Mahals, together with Trump Park Avenue and several Trump Plazas. Americans can dress like Donald, courtesy of the Donald J Trump Signature Collection, or smell like him, thanks to Donald Trump: The Fragrance.
And for just a few more dollars, they can think like him too. On the shelves at the Trump Store, there sit no less than 17 “personally written” books by Donald Trump on the subject of Trump. And then there is Donald’s latest volume, Crippled America, boasting a 16-page “About the Author” section, whichis all about what he plans to do once he lives in the White House… Whether “President Trump” ever becomes a reality is not really the question, but just how he got so far is. Perhaps the answer is in this modest tome, The World According to Trump which contains the decidedly immodest words of Donald Trump wisdom and will reveal all you ever wanted to know about the man, and probably a great deal more.
