Designer Makes Coffee Table Book of Donald's Best 250 Tweets

5/30/2017

Pro-Trump book designer launches a Kickstarter project for a full-size coffee table book of Donald J. Trump's best tweets. This premium-quality $65 book contains 250 tweets from Mr. Trump, from 2009-2017, and the project is intended to be a historical memoir of the president's road to the White House.

In researching this book, the author painstakingly read every single one of the tens of thousands of tweets that Donald Trump sent in the last nine years. He then compiled a list of the best tweets, ranked by historical value, prestige, and humor. Some of the tweets, like "I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke" are well-known Trump classics. However, other tweets are lesser-known significant quotes like, "One man with courage is a majority," which Trump used in quoting Thomas Jefferson. The tweets are arranged one-per-page in chronological order, in order to tell Donald J. Trump's epic tale.

During this process, the author determined that the goal of the book would be to portray the president in a positive light. For this reason, the book contains pages regarding Trump's doctorate degree in business from 2010, his Joseph Wharton award from 2014, and his Algemeiner Liberty Award from 2015, among other accolades that Trump himself tweeted. To this end, the author has also taken care to omit unfavorable tweets from the book. Tweets that do not reflect the current administration's views have not been included, so as to not cause confusion. Furthermore, this format allows for a more positive historical account, by omitting negative Twitter comments.

The Kickstarter project so far is 32% funded, with a month to go. According to the Kickstarter statistics, of the $1443 pledged, 84% of the backers are from /r/The_Donald, a pro-Trump reddit community, while only 3.8% found the project from within Kickstarter.
