The Collected Poems of Donald J. Trump 2009-2019

Two men have a booth set up at the Republican National Convention selling a 300-page hardcover, green-bound book featuring former President Trump’s tweets — or “the great work, the collected poems of Donald J. Trump” as they call it.

The two sellers, Gregory Woodman and Ian Pratt, told The Hill this book is Volume 1 from “his early years” of 2009 to 2019, and is sold for $45 in honor of Trump’s place in history. However, Volume 2 will be sold for $47 and will feature the “the impeachments, the indictments, the incitement, the global pandemic …”

The book divides the posts into sections including, “loathing,” “introspective musings” “big, bigger, biggest,” “like a dog” and “free verse.” Free verse “leaves the confounds of the English language behind and soars to new heights.” “Although if [Vice President] Kamala [Harris] steps in at the last minute, we might bump it up to $48.”

They say they've sold hundreds of copies.
 
That brings up an interesting question. Who holds the copyright to Tweets? I’m not reading the TOS.

Or are they public domain?
