NEW YORK (WABC) -- Donald Trump is out with a new book that boasts success stories, but offers few details on how he would implement his policy goals as president.
On Tuesday, at 9 a.m., "Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again," was for sale in the Trump Tower Atrium. There was a three-book limit per customer. At noon, Trump, the billionaire businessman, former reality TV star and Republican White House-hopeful, planned to sign books at the Trump Store in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue.
The book speaks directly to voters, making the case that Trump has the experience and business savvy to accomplish things that traditional, all-talk, no-action politicians can't. It comes as Trump is continuing to adjust to a new phase of the campaign in which the once undisputed front-runner is now facing heightened competition from a number of his GOP rivals.
"This book is designed to give the reader a better understanding of me and my ideas for our future," Trump writes. "I'm a really nice guy, but I'm also passionate and determined to make our country great again."
Trump's cover features him with furrowed brows and a deep scowl, in keeping with his often irascible demeanor. "I'm sitting there with an angry face and everybody said that's really got to be the picture because the book is explaining all that's the wrong in the country," Trump said Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America."
And it is signature braggadocios Trump, complete with a 14-page biography and a list of some of the properties he has developed, managed and licensed over the years. The book also includes a note declaring that Trump's net worth has increased since he launched his campaign.

The media is thinking out loud again...
Yup. I am sure it worked out this way, "I'm trailing Carson in Iowa, and he's getting uncomfortably close nationwide. I know, I'll have a ghostwriter put together a book in four days, and have a print on demand shop whip out 25,000 copies for me in a week and a half."

The NYT is already genning up excuses as to why Trump’s new book won’t be on their best seller list.
I’ve got inside information that the excuse they’re likely to go with is that Trump secretly bought up hundred million copies and probably only a few dozen were sold to people who actually want to read it.

Look out, it looks as if Carson’s fake polls are starting to tumble.

How long before someone says: âSee, heâs just running to promote his book, build his brand and make more money. Heâs not serious.âToo late. That happened on FR yesterday afternoon already.
