Donald Trump is to release a book on ‘greatness’ while running for president

Donald Trump isn’t going to let running for president get in the way of a new book.

Threshold Editions announced yesterday that Trump’s book “will outline how a crippled America could be restored to greatness”.

The work is currently untitled and scheduled for release on 27 October.

The news comes after Scott Walker, formerly a frontrunner for the Republican nomination, announced his withdrawal from the field in an attempt to consolidate opposition to Trump.

He had experienced a steady decline in the polls following a brief spell at the top of the field in March.

The governor of Wisconsin called for a "positive, conservative alternative" to Trump in response to his huge rise in support this year.

Walker said:

Today, I believe that I am being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race so that a positive conservative message can rise to the top.

With this in mind, I am suspending my campaign immediately.

We have to agree, Scott.
