Trump announces plan to acquire a book - about himself

Donald Trump is going to acquire a book.
The book in question, as Gizmodo reported on Thursday, is titled Donald J Trump: An Environmental Hero, by Edward Russo. And the shocking news emerged as the president announced a rollback of environmental regulations at the White House, taking an ax to the environmental review process required for infrastructure projects. The move, which he pitched as a way around endless delays to various projects, poses a new threat to the climate and is likely to face legal challenges.
The presidents war on the environment is nothing new. His plan to bury his nose in a book is.
Trump isnt known for his literary bona fides. Though the bestseller The Art of the Deal helped make his name, it was ghostwritten by Tony Schwartz who deeply regrets his work on the book. Ghostwriters have been involved in most, if not all, of his many other volumes. He doesnt read books and he doesnt write them, Schwartz told the Independent in 2018. (The late night host Samantha Bee has developed a conspiracy theory that Trump cant read at all.)

OP
Since his lips move even when he looks at pictures, could it be a pop-up book?

I think his reading level may be below that of a fifth grader. He may have a learning disability. Everyone here seems to be sniping about adderall, but it may be just as likely that he misreads the teleprompter.

There are rumors that he sodomized a 15-year old girl provided to him by Epstein, so he may be dyslexic. That's not an excuse because his IQ is a couple of deviations under par.
