Donald Trump will soon have to give more than his patented "you're fired," as he is suing an author who wrote that Trump is not a billionaire, and might instead by worth only $25 million. However, if Trump wins his suit, the matter will be a moot point, as he is suing for the author and his publisher, Warner Books, for $5 billion in damages. "I believe it is important to expose irresponsible, malicious and false reporting," Trump said in a statement. The book "TrumpNation," by Timothy O'Brien, claimed that Trump exaggerated his hotel and construction fortune. "Mr. O'Brien is an award-winning, veteran business reporter with The New York Times and his work, as does his book, 'TrumpNation,' speak for themselves," said Warner Books representative Rob Nissen.
