Donald Trump’s latest book is going to be one big self brag about how celebrities and politicians used to, as he says, “kiss my a**.”
As Trump begins another run for president, the book is an attempt to show how people used to love him but then turned on him once he ran for president on the Republican ticket. However, Trump’s controversial acts as President, as well as his views and insulting speech, are likely contributing factors in the dislike he has earned from those who once admired him – though such possibilities apparently are not considered in his assessment of his own greatness.
In a recent interview with Breitbart News, Trump stated that he believes people who read the book are “going to see a very fascinating life.”
Letters to Trump will feature a collection of letters put together by two of his former assistants who organized 40 years of correspondence with celebrities to create a compliment-filled book about him. It’s no doubt aimed to make Trump look as if he is, or at least was, admired by many. Such a book is not exactly a bad idea when running for president and, considering his fame over the last few decades, he is likely one of the few who can even have such a book published. In the least, the idea is worthwhile but its completion might prove to earn him more dislike than the love shared in the soon-to-be published letters.
Because Trump is relying on the past, the joke may be on him as the reaction to the book — though all but guaranteed to receive applause from most Republicans — will certainly be disdain by Democrats.
However, some of those celebrities deserve criticism as well because they would likely not have cared about Trump if he didn’t have such wealth. It’s no secret that money attracts many things, not the least of which are fake friendships. That’s not to say that everyone falls into that category but it’s no surprise that Trump now doesn’t care for a lot of them either.
One celebrity friendship of his that may have been quite genuine was his relationship with John F. Kennedy Jr. Donald Trump was practically rebuilding New York City while JFK Jr. lived there before his untimely passing.
In a letter written by Kennedy Jr. to Trump — after Trump visited him at George magazine for an exclusive interview — Kennedy writes, “Our staff thoroughly enjoyed your remarks and I trust you found the questions thought-provoking. You were most generous to make the time. Thanks again. – John Kennedy”
Trump said about Kennedy, “He was a great guy. He was a friend of mine. Even though we were of a different persuasion, I believe he would have run for the Senate and that he would have been president someday.”
So, who are these other politicians and celebrities who apparently wrote flattering letters to Trump? They include recent interactions with world leaders, such as North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un, but also correspondence from years and even decades ago with numerous now-former presidents such as Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and his son George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan.
Some of the celebrities might surprise you, including Michael Jackson and Shaquille O’Neal. Correspondence is also shown with Clint Eastwood and Oprah Winfrey who recently clarified that she did, at one time, believe in Trump but has since changed her mind. Donald Trump was a guest on her show decades ago and won over the audience — as well as the host — apparently.
Some celebrities, like Jay Leno, are taking exception to Trump publishing their private letters.
The book also includes letters from Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, but Trump has not been respectful toward the memory of Princess Diana.
As depicted in the biography The King: The Life of Charles III released last year, author Christopher Andersen claims that Princess Diana continuously refused advances from Donald Trump. He also points out that Trump was asked about Princess Diana on The Howard Stern Show a few weeks after her death. Stern asked Trump, “You could’ve gotten her, right? You could’ve nailed her?” to which Trump replied, “I think I could have.”
When Breitbart News asked about how these celebs treated him, including Michael Jackson and Princess Diana, Trump responded by saying, “I knew them all and every one of them kissed my a**!”
If you want to read about Michael Jackson and Princess Diana allegedly kissing Trump’s a**, it will cost you $99, which suggests that you would also be kissing his a**.
After the self brag, Trump humorously added about the many celebrities who have since lost admiration for him, “Now, I only have half of them kissing my a**.”
