Trump jokes he hopes his wife Melania ‘says nice things about me’ in her upcoming memoir

Former President Donald Trump joked during a rally on Long Island on Wednesday that he hopes his wife Melania will write “good things” about him in her upcoming memoir.

The 78-year-old Republican presidential candidate drew a standing ovation and laughter from the crowd at Nassau Coliseum as he promoted the former first lady’s book, which is set to be released in October.

“Go out and buy her a book,” he exclaimed. “She just wrote a book. I hope she said nice things about me.”

“Go out and buy it, it’s great. And if he says bad things about me, I’ll call you all and say don’t buy it, get rid of it,” Trump joked, to laughter from his supporters.

Melania Trump, 54, has been stepping up the advertising campaign for her book “Melania” in recent weeks.

The former first lady said in a previous video post online that she hopes to tell readers the “truth,” claiming she was the victim of “misrepresentation” while her husband was in the spotlight.
