Former President Donald Trump and his wife Melania Trump are both releasing books amid a chaotic election season.
The former president took to Truth Social to announce the details of his third and latest book, “Save America.”
“I’m pleased to announce my new Book, “SAVE AMERICA.” As everyone knows, the first two, “Our Journey Together” and, “Letters to Trump,” have been spectacular successes, and this is the BEST OF ALL, especially in light of the fact that we are now living in a Failing Nation, but it will not be failing for long. We will soon, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Donald Trump wrote.
“Save America,” now available for pre-order and ships Sept. 3, will detail Trump’s time in office and also his plans for the future. It will also include photos hand-selected by the former president. Trump’s book retails for $99, and a signed copy goes for a more costly $499.
Following her husband’s lead, Melania Trump is also adding the title of author to her resume. The former first lady is releasing her first memoir, self-titled “Melania,” in the fall.
The book will detail her time during and before the White House, from her BE BEST children’s campaign to her modeling career before her husband’s time in office. The book will also feature personal stories and never-before-seen family photos.
Melania Trump is one of two first ladies born outside the U.S. and the only to become a naturalized U.S. citizen.
“Melania is a powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has carved her own path, overcome adversity and defined personal excellence. The former first lady invites readers into her world, offering an intimate portrait of a woman who has lived an extraordinary life,” said a press release from the Office of Melania Trump.
