Jimmy Kimmel has written a children's book — well, ghost-written it for Donald Trump. He presented the Republican presidential frontrunner with the Dr. Seuss–inspired book, Winners Like Me, on Wednesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live. Trump appeared to love the book, which includes lines like "Winners do deals and winners get rich / While sad little losers just sit there and bitch" and "Oh the place you'll go, on your yacht, on your plane / With your suits from Milan and your wives from Ukraine." He even read the last line, taking over from Kimmel.
Before Kimmel unveiled the book, which he pitched as a way to make himself rich, he and Trump discussed how Trump had convinced his doctor to write such a Trump-sounding medical note, how much money Trump really has, whether Trump plans to see the new Star Wars (he might, but he hash's seen many of the old ones, though he knows they're "great stuff"), and whether he knew the character Biff in Back to the Future was modeled after him (no, but "I love that — where's my cut?"). Also, when it comes to Christmas shopping, it turns out Trump is a kind of a scrooge. Watch below. Peter Weber
