Trump Just Released A New Book, And There’s One Thing A Lot Of People Immediately Noticed
When Republican presidential contender Donald Trump’s latest book arrived on shelves this week, the earliest critiques had less to do with its contents than the author’s cover-photo expression. Social media reaction included some mixed reviews for the stern pose.

Seth Myers, host of NBC’s Late Night, joined in on the mockery, telling his audience that Crippled America appears to be the “first book that actually gets angry at you for buying it.”
Along with a number of other critics, Myers went on to point out the book’s potentially offensive title.
“Crippled America,” he said. “That’s what it’s really called. And look at his expression on the cover. That’s the same face the disabled community made when they heard the title.”
Trump did not seem to be caught off guard by the backlash, explaining to one crowd the story behind the notable cover image.

His photographer took one “nasty picture” when he wasn’t ready, Trump said. “But when you’re talking about crippled America,” he added, “and you’re talking about all the problems we have, I can’t have a big smiley face up there.” While much of the initial conversation revolved around the cover, Myers tacked on one joke to his monologue as a nod to “the inside of the book.” He concluded that Trump addressed his plan to make America great again but failed to “say specifically when he’s leaving.”
