That's one publisher I will never buy from, not for him or any other subject.

Welcome to my do-not-buy list.

They are one of the biggest global media companies there are, and they publish under a lot of different names just in the US alone.

little Donnie will be doing any actual "work" He will have to try to remember meetings and "stuff". When will Ivanka steal his thunder by writing her own book? If any tRump actually told the truth, the books would be best sellers. Unfortunately, this will be fluff and lies.

and give it away to small dollar contributors and pass the books along to Rush and friends to give away. It's an old RethugliKlan operation to move books of theirs up on the best-sellers list.

I'm sure Donny Jr. will need to get approval for every little thing he puts in his "book."
So in other words, this thing is never gonna happen.

to appear pre-presidential, just in case the dynasty looks possible.

And, of course, to relieve MAGAts of some of their cash.
