See full version: Stephen Colbert Is Turning Trump s Hurricane Florence Remarks Into A Book For Kids
Colbert characterized his children's book as a way for Trump to inadvertently assist in post-storm recovery through the funds the publication will raise. As the late-night host put it, "This way Donald Trump's comments about that boat are helping, in spite of him." [links]
In addition to Trump's comments about the boat, the president has also been criticized for his seemingly overly straightforward characterization of Hurricane Florence. For example, in a video he released on Twitter on Sept. 19, Trump offered somewhat strange commentary about the storm, saying, “This is a tough hurricane . one of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water. Rarely have we had an experience like it and it's certainly not good."
As Colbert told the audience during his show, the new publication is a compilation of quotes Trump has said while touring locations in the United States that have been damaged by hurricanes. In particular, Colbert asserted that the title of the book was inspired by Trump's somewhat bizarre comments about a boat that had washed up on a homeowner's lawn in North Carolina following Hurricane Florence. As The Hill described, Trump said to the man at the time, "At least you got a nice boat out of the deal." more
Colbert referenced this interaction when describing the development of the book, saying: more
The late-night host also indicated that all proceeds The Late Show makes from the book will go to a host of hurricane relief organizations, including the Foundation for the Carolinas, the One SC Fund, the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund, and the World Central Kitchen. The Carolinas suffered significant damage as a result of the mid-September storm, with many cities facing extensive flooding and widespread infrastructure damage. [links]
On Friday's episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the host announced that a new Trump-inspired children's book will soon be available for sale nationwide. Stephen Colbert's book, Whose Boat is This Boat? Comments That Don’t Help in the Aftermath of a Hurricane, is inspired by the president's often-maligned comments in the wake of hurricane disasters.
“We can’t forget that the good people of the Carolinas still need our help,” said Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show. “Also, someone should tell the president he wrote a book.” [links]
“Donald Trump has described himself as the Ernest Hemingway of Twitter,” said Jonathan Karp, President and Publisher of Simon & Schuster. “With this book, he proves himself to be the Dr. Seuss of hurricane literature.”
Whose Boat Is This Boat? is a picture book made entirely of quotations made by President Donald Trump in the wake of Hurricane Florence. Research suggests this will be the first children’s book ever published that demonstrates what not to say after a natural disaster. more

After purchasing the art from Redd, take it to Blathers and donate it to the museum. Blathers will note that he'll file for a construction permit for the museum. The next day, Isabelle will announce that the museum is closed for remodeling. When the museum re-opens the next day, Redd will once again appear on the island. He'll note that he has a boat where players can acquire both artwork and furniture. Once you tell him that you want to check it out, he'll officially open the boat up for business.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has a shady new art dealer, but players will have to go through a couple of steps to unlock his art marketplace. The shady fox Redd has returned to Animal Crossing to sell both genuine and counterfeit artwork, which also opens up a new wing of the museum. Redd's new base of operations is a small fishing trawler that is located at the "hidden beach" found on the northern end of players' islands. However, the boat isn't immediately open for business and players will have to do a few things to unlock his boat.
The first step to unlock Redd's boat is to talk to Blathers at the museum after downloading the update, who mentions to the player that he's considering opening up a new wing of the museum for artwork. The following day, Isabelle will note that a "suspicious visitor" has appeared on the island, which means that Redd has officially arrived. At this point, players can find Redd's boat at the hidden beach, but they won't be able to enter it. They can, however, find Redd wandering about the island and purchase their first piece of artwork. The art is always genuine, so don't be worried that you're buying a fake.
As we noted yesterday, Redd will sell a mix of genuine and fake artwork on his boat. You can check out our full guide on real and counterfeit artwork here, so that you don't get scammed. Blathers will accept genuine pieces of artwork for the museum, while counterfeit pieces can still be hung up at your home, or displayed elsewhere on the island.
