NEW YORK (WABC) -- Donald Trump is out with a new book that boasts success stories, but offers few details on how he would implement his policy goals as president.
On Tuesday, at 9 a.m., "Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again," was for sale in the Trump Tower Atrium. There was a three-book limit per customer. At noon, Trump, the billionaire businessman, former reality TV star and Republican White House-hopeful, planned to sign books at the Trump Store in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue.
The book speaks directly to voters, making the case that Trump has the experience and business savvy to accomplish things that traditional, all-talk, no-action politicians can't. It comes as Trump is continuing to adjust to a new phase of the campaign in which the once undisputed front-runner is now facing heightened competition from a number of his GOP rivals.
"This book is designed to give the reader a better understanding of me and my ideas for our future," Trump writes. "I'm a really nice guy, but I'm also passionate and determined to make our country great again."
Trump's cover features him with furrowed brows and a deep scowl, in keeping with his often irascible demeanor. "I'm sitting there with an angry face and everybody said that's really got to be the picture because the book is explaining all that's the wrong in the country," Trump said Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America."
And it is signature braggadocios Trump, complete with a 14-page biography and a list of some of the properties he has developed, managed and licensed over the years. The book also includes a note declaring that Trump's net worth has increased since he launched his campaign.
The book includes chapters on favored Trump subjects including the dangers of illegal immigration and his commitment to Second Amendment rights for gun owners. And it delves into more details in some areas, particularly on how he plans to force Mexico to pay for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, his signature campaign promise.
"We could increase the various border fees we charge. We could increase the fees on temporary visas. We could even impound remittance payments derived from illegal wages," Trump offers. "Foreign governments could tell their embassies to start helping, otherwise they risk troubled relations with America."
But Trump also makes no apologies for his often hazy plans.
"People say I don't provide specific policies that some pollster has determined what people want to hear. I know that's not the way the professional politicians do it - they seem to poll and focus-group every word. But there's nobody like me," he writes, with dramatic line breaks.
