Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign has been a cavalcade of ignominies, and today a fresh embarrassment joins the procession in the form of Trump Tower, a book written by the Republican candidate bearing the tagline: ‘The sexiest novel of the decade’.
I say written, Trump Tower was in fact ghostwritten by Jeffrey Robinson for the Republican candidate, debuting in 2012, billed as Trump’s ‘debut novel’ and being sold in the titular tower’s gift store.
Hilariously, the only review on the back cover comes from Trump himself, who writes: "Jeffrey Robinson’s novel Trump Tower bares it all. Here is the drama of the Ultra Rich, the Ultra Powerful, and the Ultra Beautiful who call the most glamorous address in the country their home. I can’t wait to see it on television!”
As for press coverage, only The New York Post appears to have reviewed the book, noting its BDSM, Fifty Shades of Grey-esque content but distinct lack of sexual consent.
...some choice quotes:
‘“Come on, you’re a shoo-in.” He reminded her, “Two white guys and a great-looking minority girl with perfect b**bs? No contest.”’
‘…as Belasco had already discovered — being two or three pounds heavier than she’d been as a teenager — she now had absolutely gorgeous b*****s.’
‘“Ladies who lunch,” Cyndi said. “This time,” Alicia suggested, “let’s try to keep our clothes on.”’
Jaquim pointed to his chest and nodded, “He like his mama’s t*****s a lot.”’ … ‘David mumbled, “I’d probably like his mama’s t*****s, too,” and, instead of using his key, he rang the bell.’
