The following is an exclusive excerpt from conservative columnist and 11-time New York Times<\/em> bestselling author Ann Coulter\u2019s upcoming book,\u00a0<\/span>In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome<\/a>,<\/em> in stores August 23:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Everything that seems like a disability with Trump always turns out to be an advantage. If we were in the laboratory, designing the perfect presidential candidate, it\u2019s unlikely we would have produced a tasteless, publicity\u2010seeking, coarse, billionaire, reality TV star.<\/p>\n

Ha! Look at how wrong we were. It turns out, that is\u00a0exactly\u00a0<\/i>what we needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Miss Grundys of the party all say,\u00a0I\u2019ll tell you this, Donald Trump frightens me. He\u2019s a vulgarian, a loudmouth, a boor.\u00a0<\/i>If the GOP\u2019s real complaint with Trump is that they think he can\u2019t win because of the trophy wives, the divorces, the bad grammar, and the gold fixtures, then why haven\u2019t they been able to produce another candidate without those problems but with Trump\u2019s issues?<\/span><\/p>\n

They claim they don\u2019t mind Trump\u2019s positions on immigration and trade\u2014they just wanted a candidate more like Mitt Romney to take them. That\u2019s a creature that doesn\u2019t exist in nature. Close your eyes and try to imagine Romney saying the things Trump has said. He couldn\u2019t survive two minutes of the abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem with trying to find an old\u2010school WASPy, understated, dry, less\u2010is\u2010more, antique leather, sturdy wood\u2010and\u2010brass type to take Trump\u2019s positions is that all those people agree with NPR on everything. Their good taste is their undoing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only someone who brags about his airline\u2019s seatbelt buckles being made of solid gold would have the balls to do what Trump is doing. Being crude is an indispensable requirement. It gives him resistance to the opinion of Manhattan sophisticates.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s extremely rare for people to take positions that will hurt them with their friends. Being pro\u2010choice in Hollywood: not brave. Being pro\u2010choice in Mississippi: brave. Trump lived among fancy Manhattanites. What he was saying on immigration\u2014to say nothing of eliminating the carried interest deduction for hedge fund managers\u2014was going to cost him friends. Trump didn\u2019t care.<\/span><\/p>\n

He has no nerve endings for peer pressure. The standard riposte to someone who wants to restrict immigration is:\u00a0You don\u2019t understand\u2014your positions are very gauche, very d\u00e9class\u00e9. They\u2019re not shared by the people you want to impress. These are the opinions of ethnics in the outer boroughs.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Other people would say, \u201cOh, my gosh\u2014did anyone see?\u201d Trump said,\u00a0Yeah, I think I still want to build a wall.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

The sophisticates didn\u2019t have a comeback. They\u2019d never gotten that far with anyone else.<\/span><\/p>\n

The media successfully smeared Romney as an out\u2010of\u2010touch multimillionaire, whacking working\u2010class Americans with his polo mallet. He was helpless. Tasteful people don\u2019t talk about themselves, and they certainly don\u2019t talk about money. Not Trump! Early in Trump\u2019s campaign, journalist Mark Halperin asked him about the \u201cbacklash against rich candidates like Mitt Romney\u2014any chance of that with you?\u201d Trump said, \u201cFirst of all, he wasn\u2019t rich.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And that was that. How do you attack someone for being rich who is constantly bragging about how rich he is? Yes, yes, I\u2019m a WASP, too\u2014it\u2019s appalling, embarrassing, awful\u2014but oh, my gosh,\u00a0does it work! Luckily, voting machines register only\u00a0yes\u00a0<\/i>or\u00a0no<\/i>\u2014not\u00a0yes, but I hate myself.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Trump is like a Shakespearean \u201cfool\u201d: he seems crass because he speaks the truth. Fashionable people might cringe when Mike Tyson shows up at the inaugural ball as a guest of honor, but nobody else is giving us a wall.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Trump candidacy puts Democrats in an extremely awkward position. They are the party of elegance and fabulosity, but also claim to be the party of the \u201cblacks and browns\u201d\u2014who see absolutely nothing wrong with Trump\u2019s taste. Jay Z and Beyonc\u00e9 may not like Trump\u2019s positions, but, boy, they like his style. They\u2019re asking themselves,\u00a0How can a person of such taste be a Republican?\u00a0<\/i>He\u2019s P. Diddy in the Hamptons, disturbing the neighbors with his parties.<\/span><\/p>\n

The more you think about it, the more you realize Trump has an awful lot of useful tools in his toolbox: he has all that on\u2010camera experience; he\u2019s perfectly comfortable walking into a gaggle of microphones; he loves being in the limelight and he\u2019s gotten really good at it.<\/span><\/p>\n

If Trump hadn\u2019t been a \u201cnarcissist\u201d\u2014or, as we now see it, a self\u2010confident alpha male\u2014he would never have raised all those awesome issues, and certainly would have backed down at the first yelp from the press. Americans would have had to watch in horror as he clarified that what he\u00a0meant\u00a0<\/i>was that Mexico was sending us its David Livingstones and Niels Bohrs, to do the jobs Americans won\u2019t do.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Trump\u2019s first week running for president, he lost tens of millions of dollars for the \u201cMexican rapists\u201d line alone. Univision dumped Trump\u2019s Miss USA pageant; NBC dumped both the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants; Macy\u2019s dumped his ties; and ESPN dumped his Trump National Golf Club for the Celebrity Golf Classic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked about the lost businesses, he said, \u201cI had disloyal people like Macy\u2019s, and like others, \u2018Oh, Donald, you\u2019re a little controversial, we\u2019re going to have to drop you, we\u2019re going to have to\u2019\u2014I said, \u2018I don\u2019t care. The ties, what do they mean to me? [Motions to the moderator<\/i>] He\u2019s wearing one of my ties, by the way, it\u2019s very nice. Very nice. I never liked them that much because they were made in China, so it never mattered that much.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

If it takes a narcissist to do that, we need more narcissists running for public office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
