Trump publishes new book ‘Crippled America’

Donald Trump published a book about the ills of America Tuesday, kicking up a media frenzy by signing copies for fans, insulting his rivals and telling voters to choose him for president.

 "Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again," offers the everyday reader the Republican frontrunner's take on the problems facing the country and why only he can fix them.

 Online bookseller Amazon flagged it as a number one new release in political science, as retailers quickly slashed sale prices for the slim volume that runs to less than 200 pages.

 The real estate mogul invited the world media to Trump Tower to welcome its launch before signing copies for fans who queued for hours, as he continues -- narrowly -- to top the polls less than 100 days before the first statewide nominating contests.

 "I'm going to get the nomination and I will win the White House. I think beating Hillary Clinton is going to be easy because her record is so bad," he announced, deftly fielding questions, dishing out jokes and insulting fellow White House candidates.

 Trump ratcheted up his criticism of Senator Marco Rubio, who has been gaining in the polls, calling him a "disaster" with credit cards -- alluding to his use, years ago, of a party card to cover personal spending.

 Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon and his closest rival in the Republican race? He lacks energy and is weak on immigration, Trump said. Jeb Bush? A poor messenger who falls asleep at the podium.

 Clinton performed well in the Democrat debate because the questions she faced were "all soft balls" while "stupid" Bernie Sanders had "finished" his campaign by refusing to make hay of her email controversy.

 On the other hand, with Trump in the White House, he claimed that America would have a "very good" relationship with Russia while he personally would have a "very good" relationship with Vladimir Putin.
