Oh for sure. Just as Trump and Moscow Mitch laugh at the people who are gullible enough to vote for them. The attack on public education began with Ronald Reagan. If you can dumb down the electorate enough people will vote against their own best interest and vote on emotional wedge issues like gays, guns, and god. They know what they are doing. They have no interest in governing, and we know that because Ronald Reagan famously said "GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM". That statement is an insult to our Democracy, our Constitution, and our Citizenship as Americans.

I love the title. Don Jr. was the left until Daddy decided to run for the Republicans. Don Jr. didn't even register as a Republican until then.

That's how devoted he is to the Republicans. All in for three years now -- WOW......

Of course they did.
The book costs $18.00 on Amazon. That means dealer cost is $9.00 or less, and a single truckload could be be much less than that per copy. A 100,000 book order would put the book in the top 10 best-seller list, and would cost Daddy less than $500,000.
If Daddy re-sells it in a $50 donation deal, that's a $24,000,000.00 profit if they all sell.

Who could pass up a deal like that if there was a ready-made market in all those rallies? I expect they will sell out at the rallies.

But the money is the main objective in all this. Donny Jr. wants to get into politics in the worst way. But he has no credentials and no experience. And he's only known for being one of his father's kids, the one with the beard.
That's weak recognition. He needs some of his own fame to run for political office, and just being one of the Prez' kids won't cut it by itself.

What's the Trump family tradition to become famous? Write a book. Daddy did it. Mommy did it. Even The Mooch did it.

Writing a book like this is always one of the best ways to become famous. Fame makes for good politics. Especially if the book flies straight to the Hot Top 10.

The book's the whole package. It has the hot title, a good shot of Little Donny on the cover, and I'm sure it was written by the best ghost writer available. It is probably a most excellent screed that reads fast and easy and has all the best Trump talking points in it. It was released with perfect timing.

Every talk show host will want Little Donny on his show. Every late-night host will want him. Every daytime host will want him. All the radio hosts will want him.

And all the chumps like us will discuss it on the internet. Everything adds superb face and name recognition to Little Donny. For free. For weeks and weeks, if Little Donny can sell himself a little on camera.

Much more publicity than even his daddy could ever give him or the GOP could give him.

And if Little Donny is charming enough to win some people over, he's all set up for a run in 2022 for office. Out of Florida, probably, where he's more popular than back home in NYC.

Coming from the Trump family - keeping in mind, for instance, that Trump used to "anonymously" provide tips on himself - it wouldn't surprise me if an awful lot of those copies are being bought by the Trumps. We should do a poll here in a month and ask if anyone here has bought/read the book.

The local chatter was that Gavin had Kimberly sign a prenup.

Trump is pathetic. I don't think he can help it. I think Trump is a very angry man who was chosen for a role he doesn't like - an example to the world of how a president should never act.

Generally I agree. The only exception I can think of is re smoking. AFAIK, Trump has never been a smoker, and his kids may have been influenced by that (Don Jr. used to be a heavy drinker, but I haven't heard of any of the kids smoking). Obama was a smoker, and Malia smokes.

Yep. Being at Fox was still too far away from the seat of power for her, and Fox RUNS the White House. That’s how crazily ambitious she is.

She’s clearly a clout chaser.

Agree
But I think Ivanka outshines and out accomplishes both her brothers.
