If you look up "lightweight" in the dictionary there's a picture of Don Jr.

Does this belong in media forum? A book is print media.

Which is okay. Trump is an intellectual lightweight himself (to put it mildly). It's just idly puzzling whether Jr. wrote it to curry favor with his father, to position himself for later public office, or because he was urged to do it to support Trump. Or just for the money. There's nothing wrong with him pocketing the money if the publisher is willing to offer it on the basis of his Trump last name - just like there isn't necessarily anything wrong with Hunter Biden accepting money from people who hope to benefit from the Biden last name. Hunter reportedly didn't have any appropriate expertise for Burisma, and it's a cinch that Don had no expertise in writing a book.

His book probably belongs on the same shelf as Donnie's.
Yeah, that's probably why he was allowed to publish a "9/11 truther" book in the first place...everybody writes him off as a lunatic, which might in fact be his purpose all along to blackwash 9/11 research by a negative association. Don't know. But I'm about halfway through it myself and based on prior 9/11 reading of my own he is doing a pretty good job of skewering the official story for the insane Santa Claus tale that anybody who has looked into it for even 15 minutes already knows that it is. Most people just don't have the patience for it.

I've said it before but he would be lucky to be selling Mercedes Benzes to wealthy Manhattanites for a living were it not for him being a Trump. That's not to say he's a horrible guy or anything but I suspect that is kind of the truth.

I’m pretty sure that as many books as he’s sold, not one person has read it.

I’d bet everything on that.

You don’t know 12 people that would read it. Stop it.

As "lump of coal" gifts, or "gag" gifts?

More like selling used Chevys back in Queens.
