Who is the publisher?

Sloppy work, just like everything related to the Trumps.

Does Junior think he's going to be the next president? Is this his manifesto?

Oh, by the way. Does anyone else grasp the hubris and irony of Junior writing about privilege?

Covers go through an extensive and rigorous process from mock-up and workup to mass-printing. The publisher has to approve it, etc.. Dozens of people look at it, maybe a hundred if it's a legit major publisher. It gets sent back and forth, the colors are checked... every word and claim on the jacket is vetted.

That is, unless this book is self published or published by a fly-by-night, embarrassing publisher.

And I am sure he had his group of illeterate family and friends proof-read it for him. Surprising that not one of them picked up on this.

It would be great if someone here could take one for the team and read this crock of s**t to let us know just how bad it is and how many grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors it has.

Donald Trump Jr. to self-publish book 'Liberal Privilege' before GOP convention
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/506898-donald-trump-jr-to-self-publish-book-liberal-privilege-before-gop

Even when you self-publish, somebody is supposed to proof it so the author doesn't embarrass himself.

He'll just say grammar is elitist. Unlike the hard-scrabble schools he went to and learned to speak good at.
