Donald Trump Modestly Announces ‘My New Bestseller’

Donald Trump Modestly Announces ‘My New Bestseller’

Every candidate does it, and now so will Donald Trump: roll out a campaign book. And his book is going to be huuuuge.

Threshold Editions, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, announced Monday that The Donald’s new tome is scheduled for publication on October 27. It does not yet have a listed title.

As one can imagine, Trump is promoting it in only the most humble of terms.

“I am excited to announce that work on my new bestseller is almost done and I’ll have a new book out from Threshold Editions and Simon & Schuster later this year,” Trump said in the publisher’s press release. “Not since The Art of the Deal have I had this much fun writing a book.”

A quick fact check: Not only is the book not a bestseller — it hasn’t even sold a single copy.

He was one of the three founders of The Village Voice, the Greenwich Village weekly that became known as the nation’s first alternative newspaper. The Voice, and he, were so much more than that.

How Is That Whole 'Law And Order' Thing Working Out For You, Republicans?

Former Georgia Republican Party chair David Shafer

One of the great ironies – and there are more than a few – in the case in Georgia against Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants is the law being used against them: The Georgia RICO, or Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations Act. The original RICO Act, passed by Congress in 1970, was meant to make it easier for the Department of Justice to go after crimes committed by the Mafia and drug dealers. The first time the Georgia RICO law was used after it was passed in 1980 was in a prosecution of the so-called Dixie Mafia, a group of white criminals in the South who engaged in crimes of moving stolen goods and liquor and drug dealing.
