MAGA World celebrated this week at Mar-a-Lago for the launch of former President Donald Trump’s new book of letters from celebrities and world leaders.
The guest list read like a who’s who of the Trump world.
Ginger Luckey, wife of Rep. Matt Gaetz, opened the proceedings with a rendition of God Bless America.
Possible VP pick and former Arizona governor candidate Kari Lake posed for photos as Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene was in attendance with her new beau, Brian Glenn of Right Side Broadcasting.
The reason was the publication on Tuesday of ‘Letters to Trump’, containing 150 notes that politicians, movie stars and celebrities sent to the former president.

Other guests included Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, publisher Sergio Gor Rep Ronny Jackson and Rudy Guiliani.
They were able to celebrate that the book was number one on Amazon’s pre-sales sales chart.
Sergio Gor, of Winning Team Publishing, said: “President Donald Trump has been incredibly successful at selling books.
“It is absolutely remarkable that ‘Letters to Trump’ remains number one on the charts, as it sells for a much higher price compared to other books.”
It costs $99. Autographed copy retails for $399.
“From President Richard Nixon to Princess Diana, and from Hillary Clinton to President Kim Jong-un, no book provides such a glimpse into history as Letters to Trump,” the book’s website reads.
It also offers a throwback to a bygone era where celebrity meant getting to the top of your field, rather than simply appearing on a reality show or becoming an online influencer.

“In recent years, Hollywood has been much more glamorous,” Trump told DailyMail.com when he launched the book.
“It meant something to be a star. Today, some have risen to stardom with little talent and a lot of fame.
“It’s just not the same, but a star is still a star!”
As an illustration, he pays tribute to Spartacus star Douglas in his book.
Kirk was a real Hollywood movie star and a good friend.
“He loved his family very much, including Michael, whom he respected immensely as an actor and loved as a son.
“He had a rugged and distinctive look – there were few male stars like him. A real legend.’

His new book was published Tuesday and includes a thank you note from the Spartacus star
Douglas died in 2020. In his 1988 note, he comes across as a proud father, expressing his son’s success and thanking the Trumps for their hospitality.
“By the way, my son Michael won the Golden Globe Award for best performance in ‘Wall Street.’
He’s on his way to Tokyo now. Maybe we’ll all get together for an evening one of these days.’
In addition to letters from before Trump came into office, the book also contains correspondence during his time in the White House. It includes letters from leaders such as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, as well as Kim Jong Un, North Korea’s Supreme Leader.

Other letters featured in the book come from Hillary Clinton, Trump’s 2016 Democratic rival; former Governor of New York Mario Cuomo; television host Jay Leno; and President Richard Nixon.
Clinton’s 2002 letter is a reminder of how the two 2016 candidates once moved in the same circles in New York before becoming bitter opponents.
In it, she thanks the then New York real estate magnate for his “friendship and support” and a “generous contribution” to her Senate campaign.
What can I say about Hillary Clinton? I’ve had a great relationship with both Bill and Hillary for a long time,” Trump wrote in a commentary alongside the letter, obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.
‘Who could have known it would turn out like this? I don’t think we’ve heard the last of Hillary. After the elections she was the angriest woman in the world.’
