Trumpy Fun Facts

There have been a plethora of books released recently about our current (and hopefully outgoing) president. Much has been excerpted from these books and discussed ad nauseam on news shows and been fodder for social media. But there are some lesser known facts about the president that have not been included among the media barrage -- until now. It is my  pleasure to share some with you. I have gone through all the Trump-related books and culled some interesting trivia that have been heretofore ignored. Whether it will change your opinion of him one iota, I cannot say but you will get a fuller picture of the "man."
