Former President Donald Trump has announced the release of his upcoming book, "Letters to Trump," which includes letters from various celebrities, athletes, and politicians, many of whom he no longer has a positive relationship with.
The book, set to be released on April 25, will cost readers nearly $100.
During an interview with Mark Levin on Fox News, Trump revealed that many celebrities featured in his book, including Oprah Winfrey, are no longer friends with him. Like many other celebrities, he stated that Winfrey turned against him once he entered politics.
"I had a great relationship with Oprah, I had a great relationship with almost everybody," Trump said. "But once I went into politics - and I don't mean I said something offensive, I mean literally once I went in - it changed."
Trump also revealed that he received letters from former presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton, who he had relationships with before his presidency. He compared himself to Nixon, saying he was his worst enemy, just like Nixon was.
"He was a very tough guy, he was, I guess some people would say this about me too, he was his own worst enemy. I could say that a little bit about myself. Much less so than people think I would say," Trump said.
The book also includes a letter from King Charles III, which was published without the monarch's permission. Trump also received a letter from Alec Baldwin, who went on to portray Trump in a recurring sketch on "Saturday Night Live."
In a handwritten letter to Trump, Winfrey expressed her appreciation for Trump's comments about her in his book "The America we Deserve," published before he became President.
She wrote, "Donald, I received the book excerpt. I have to tell you, your comments made me a little weepy. It's one thing to try and live a life of integrity - still another have people like yourself notice. Thank you, Oprah."
Despite their previous positive relationship, Trump noted that Winfrey did not speak to him again after he announced his candidacy for President. However, he still thinks she is "amazing."
The book also features letters from world leaders, including North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
In the interview, Trump criticized President Biden's handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan and suggested that Putin was emboldened to invade Ukraine.
He stated, "I think it was the most embarrassing period, the way we withdrew - not the fact that we withdrew - the way we withdrew from Afghanistan. And I think Putin actually saw that and he probably got a little more ambition, frankly."
Sergio Gor, the founder of Winning Team Publishing, the publisher of Trump's book, stated that the book highlights Trump's "iconic relationships."
"What do presidents, royals, celebrities, and business titans have in common? They all love Donald Trump," Gor said. "Long before entering politics, Donald Trump lived an extraordinary life. No book highlights his iconic relationships like Letters to Trump, and we are thrilled to be able to share it with our readers."
