Donald Trump has said that all the celebrities, world leaders, politicians and royals whose private letters to him will be reprinted in his new book have “kissed my ass” at one point or another.
“I’ve met them all — and every single one of them kissed my ass, and now only half of them kiss my ass,” the former president told Breitbart News in an article published this week.
Correspondence to Trump from the late Queen Elizabeth II; the late Princess Diana; Russian President Vladimir Putin; North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un; multiple former US presidents; her 2016 Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and others will appear in “Letters to Trump,” which will be released April 25.
Following Trump’s visit to the UK as president in 2019, he said he had “automatic chemistry” with the Queen, boasting that “some say they’ve never seen the Queen come out so well, ever more alive’ than when with him.
Months after Princess Diana’s death in 1997, Trump insisted he “could” have sex with her, but only if she first took an HIV test.
In the same Breitbart story, Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., suggested it was “amazing how quickly” his father’s “adoration” of high-profile figures “changed when he ran for office as a Republican. “
“‘Letters to Trump’ shows exactly how they felt about him and how dishonest their new disdain is,” said the Trump descendant, whose company Winning Team Publishing is behind the book.
But many of the letters were sent to Trump decades before the TV personality became known for spreading unfounded and racist conspiracy theories about his predecessor, Barack Obama, and for divisive rhetoric.
In the book, a letter from chat show legend Oprah Winfrey says she was “crying” over Trump’s comment around 2000 about her being a possible White House candidate.
On Tuesday, Winfrey told CBS’ Gayle King that she “might have thought about it then,” but “I’m not thinking about it today.”
– Me neither! Trump petulantly dismissed it on his Truth Social website.
