Several magazines named after Donald Trump were published between 1997 and 2009. Trump Style, launched in February 1997, was available for free to VIP guests at Trump's hotel-casino properties, and was also available to residents of Trump's condominium buildings and members of his Mar-a-Lago club.
A new magazine known as Trump World, initially pitched to Trump by Michael Jacobson, was launched in November 2002, as a replacement for Trump Style. Because of a dispute between Jacobson and the magazine's publishing company, Trump World was discontinued after its second issue was printed in May 2003.
Trump World was relaunched in September 2004, and was renamed as Trump Magazine in March 2006. A special edition for the New York City area was launched later that year. A new version of Trump Magazine was launched in November 2007; the publication ended in May 2009, due to poor advertising sales as a result of the Great Recession.
