Just in time for debate. When they ask a questions DT refers all to book. About third time he gets phone out. When asked what hes doing “just checking sales; seeing how much I’m making on debate!”
Fascinated by the difference in cover between the two editions. (I’m in the publishing biz)
The 2011 edition you can see at the link...looks like your classic political book cover. Blocky font in white and red, centered. Solid, but staid.
The 2016 edition has a whole lot more punch. Yellow (?!), leaner lettering. And all in italics??? The whole cover screams motion, energy. And the massive font size for “Tough” that almost eclipses the portrait itself? It’s like a subliminal ad...the first things you see: Trump’s smiling face and TOUGH.
The man knows what he’s doing, I’ll give him that.
It will be interesting to see how these billionaires fight this out. While extremely rich, Trump is at base a guy from Queens who grew up with the middle class. What is the story on the Koch brothers?
Despite a long and cordial relationship between the real estate showman and David Koch, as well as a raft of former Koch operatives who are now running Trump’s presidential campaign, the Koch political operation appears to have concluded that Trump is the wrong standard-bearer for the GOP. And the network of Koch-backed policy and political outfits is using behind-the-scenes influence to challenge Trump more forcefully than the Republican Party establishment — by limiting his access to the support and data that would help him translate his lead in the polls into a sustainable White House campaign.
The Koch operation has spurned entreaties from the Trump campaign to purchase state-of-the-art data and analytics services from a Koch-backed political tech firm called i360, and also turned down a request to allow Trump to speak at an annual grass-roots summit next month in Columbus, Ohio, sponsored by the Koch-backed group Americans for Prosperity, POLITICO has learned.
