Trump Wrote a book...well,kind of

Former President Donald Trump claimed during a podcast Wednesday with former Fox Business host Lou Dobbs that he was unable to get the necessary supplies to print his book due to supply chain issues.

While the former president never mentioned a book by name, Trump appeared to be referring to his new publication Our Journey Together. The book contains over 300 images of Trump's time as president, and the publisher called it his "first official book since leaving the White House."

"I just did a book, which is very successful, they sold 240,000 copies and we just ordered another 240,000, I guess, or more," Trump told Dobbs. "The publisher, the printer, who is one of the biggest in the country, I think he said he has eight plants, he said, well we have one problem—we can't get paper, we can't get ink."

"We can't get glue," Trump added. "We can't get leather for the covers. [The publisher] said, 'I've been doing this for 40 years, I've never had a problem getting anything.'"

Winning Team Publishing, was co-founded in 2021 by baby Don the crack head.
They have not been in business for 40 years
The book is not in leather and TFG is the only book it has published.
The only problem he has getting is the truth,.

The only book he is capable of writing is a coloring book. Even then, the dialog is a little too challenging for him to master

new books. My supermarket newsstand has new books. Now, granted, none of them have leather covers. . .

So, almost half a million pre-ordered?? Why does "The Producers" come to mind?

Not leather-bound.

4 new available starting at $169.98.
One used for $160.00.

DO NOT READ THE REVIEWS -- all are five stars and all will make you gag. I suspect Trump or his kids wrote all the reviews.

It's not selling much on Amazon, at least. I've got lots of friends whose hardcover books are currently selling far more copies than that.
