Trump Tower is a work of fiction by Jeffrey Robinson, originally credited to Donald Trump,[1][2][3] and billed as Trump's "debut novel" by the publisher.[6][7][8] It was first published in 2011 by Vanguard Press.[1][3] Trump had previously attempted to create a television series titled Trump Tower, modeled after Dallas, Dynasty, and Upstairs, Downstairs.[4][5] He worked with MVP Entertainment, contracted a writer in Los Angeles, and successfully had Showtime Networks develop a television pilot.[4] After receiving a payment for television rights to Trump Tower, he marketed the idea to Lifetime.[4] The book by this title was developed in 2011 listing Trump, but when released in 2012 credited Robinson as sole author.[8][9][10]

The plot of the book is set within a fictional version of Trump Tower, with Trump himself appearing as a character in the work.[11] Detailed sex acts are depicted including BDSM and the rape of a woman.[12][6] An employee of the building is described having sex on the set of The Celebrity Apprentice.[13] The plot moves from erotica to murder mystery, and the building manager is initially a suspect before later being cleared.[13] Bill Clinton and other celebrities appear in cameo appearances.[13]

Esquire placed the work within the genre of erotic literature.[11] A book review in the New York Post compared the storyline to the novel Fifty Shades of Grey (2011).[14][6] Playground Magazine wrote that Trump Tower was itself a phallic object in the work.[15] The Huffington Post called the book "incredibly sexist".[13] Tango Magazine said it had high levels of sexual kinkiness.[12] New York Magazine called it "a very very sexist novel".[5] The Late Show with Stephen Colbert host Stephen Colbert discussed the book on his show.[12][16]
