Trump’s New Book: “Crippled America”

Trumps New Book: Crippled America

By Megan Rose

Donald Trump’s new book has got people up in arms, what was he thinking?

On November 3, Trump came out with yet another book, this time titled “Crippled America.”

In the 208 page long book, the presidential candidate expresses his views on America and what he would do to “make it great again.”

One strange comparison he makes is the influences Teddy Roosevelt and Mike Tyson have had on his life— their wisdom and hardness on topics they’re passionate about. Trump then goes on to use these men to support a vague argument for military strength and diplomatic toughness.

Throughout the rest of the book, Trump continues to express how he feels about U.S. and foreign policy, but offers very little insight on what he would do to change things.

The little effort he offers to help restore “Crippled America” is to heighten taxes on financial managers, repeal Obamacare, make the concealed carry gun permits valid in every state, in addition to a range of other reforms which are so vaguely explained.

The book itself is a product of publishing house Simon and Schuster and lacks an index, list of sources, and footnotes but in no way is lacking a portfolio which lists and illustrates photos of Trump with much of the property he owns; the author also didn’t forget to mention that the properties in which he owns heavily outnumber that of his family members. In addition, the book’s cover is not the most welcoming. Freshman Sydney Rose says “it’s not very appealing considering the fact it’s displaying his “grumpy face” which seems to more often than not be glued to his face.”

The book sells for $25 hardcover, $12.99 ebook and can be found on Amazon.
