Former President Donald Trump has been quite controversial lately amid the allegations he has received. He recently launched a book of letters he received from global stars on Tuesday evening with a lament for the golden age of stage and screen.
‘Letters to Trump,’ includes messages from presidents, politicians and Hollywood superstars such as Kirk Douglas, golfing legend Arnold Palmer, music star Michael Jackson as well as Princess Diana and Oprah Winfrey. In an age when anyone with a social media account can become an online influencer or when an appearance on a reality show is a ticket to stardom, it makes for a nostalgic look at a time when celebrity meant much more.
By way of illustration, he pays tribute to Spartacus star Douglas in his book.
”Kirk was a true Hollywood movie star and a good friend,” he writes, alongside a thank-you letter.
”He loved his family very much, including Michael, whom he respected greatly as an actor and loved as a son.”
”He had a rugged and distinguishing look — there were few male stars like him. A true legend.”
Douglas died in 2020. In his 1988 note, he comes across as a proud father, talking up his son’s success, and thanking the Trumps for their hospitality. He later compared Trump to Hitler when he ran for President, betraying his old friend. The letter was released without permission of the family.
The book was released by Winning Team Publishing, founded by Donald Trump Jr and Sergio Gor, on Tuesday.
‘From President Richard Nixon, to Princess Diana, and from Hillary Clinton, to Chairman Kim Jong Un, no book offers a glimpse into history quite like “Letters to Trump,”‘ says the book’s website.
It is priced $99, although fans can get a signed copy for $399.
