...Middle East." He is echoed only somewhat less obnoxiously by his co-writer, Bill Zanker. Thankfully, Trump stops short of listing the powerful women he claims to have slept with. "If I did, this book would sell 10 million copies," he says, adding smugly, "maybe it will anyway." Unfortunately, he's probably right...
