Bill O’Reilly promises he researched every line in new Trump book

Supermodest Bill O’Reilly: “I’m the biggest nonfiction author in history — 17 million copies in print.” OK. “No royalties. I’m paid in front.” OK. “My 2018 ‘Killing the SS’ is even in Bulgarian.” OK.

“Tomorrow, Holt’s first print is 700,000 of my new ‘The United States of Trump: How the President Really Sees America.’

“This book I researched myself. I wrote each word myself. Nothing anonymous. All primary sources. Eye witnesses. Every comment confirmed and authorized. People who’d been present or dug out confirmation.

“The president mightn’t like info such as his German grandfather in the flesh business. In the 1880s, for guys off to the Yukon, Grampa ran the Poodle Dog bordello in Seattle’s red-light district. I’ve got an actual letter from there.

“This is his actual life history. It’s rumored the Marla Maples New York Post headline ‘Best Sex I’ve Ever Had’ was Donald’s idea. I tracked that down. People there when he called it in confirmed this.

“Devoted to his father — a photo’s on his desk — but the relationship was complicated. His father didn’t like flash, publicity or New York City big life. Rambunctious Donald wanted action. Donald Jr. says it’s why he was sent to a military school.

“This fact-based account of a sitting president, in our lifetime, as history unfolds, will bring backlash. My book’s neither pro nor con. Every word true. I sent it to him and will probably hear from him at his usual 2 a.m.”

O’Reilly, then a TV reporter, met DJT 30 years ago and admits: “Not easy getting him in a sit-down. About not serving in Vietnam he was fairly forthcoming. Not a lot of contradiction. He dances but never misleads.

“USA won’t admit he’s brilliant and five steps ahead of most. Nobody could do what he did, hardscrabble, and get elected. He knows America’s feelings and how to market it. Not luck.

“Look, I just got fed up. Ninety percent of what’s reported is nonsense. He’s no second Messiah — and who knows what he’ll do? — but I will say the Democrats are helping him out.

“He has tenacity, perseverance. His flaw? Self-discipline. None when he’s aggrieved, when things go wrong. And defeating his own purpose is dumb. Who cares that he doesn’t like John Bolton? Instead of screaming the Democrats are Socialists, he’s tweeting about CNN’s corruption.

“But there’s a good chance he’s re-elected.”

Ex-fighter’s strife in black & white

Former Great White Hope boxer Gerry Cooney’s new autobio is “Gentleman Gerry: A Contender in the Ring, a Champion in Recovery.”

He writes that onetime heavyweight champ Larry Holmes always said, “Cooney only got a shot at the title because he was white. Now DNA discovered my mother’s grandmother was African-American! Me, the Great White Hope. My great-grandma was black. He’s interviewing on AftershockXL on the BattleChats Network.
