Will Trump write a book after he leaves office?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33578points) December 14th, 2020

Whether it is him or a ghostwriter, do you seem writing a book about his time as President?

How much of it would be true?

Of course he will…he loves himself MORE than anyone else & it will make him some more money & like his presidenxy, NONE of it will be true!!!

He’s incapable of writing a book himself so it will be a ghostwriter. Art of the Deal was written by Tony Schwartz. I think he will and it will likely contain the usual lies and embellishments that normally come out of his mouth.

I’m guessing it’ll be a book trying to make him look like the victim. I’m calling it now, it’ll be called “The Cheaters: How the Do Nothing Democrats Rigged An Election”. With a forward by Sean Hannity.

Wait WAIT !

He can put a new cover on “Art of the Deal” and call it “The Eight Years I was President”.

Will he admit he got his present wife from a catalog of mail order brides?

Will he admit to lusting after his daughter Ivanka?

Will he talk about how humiliating it was when Marla Maples was found on the beach at night with her bodyguard?

Will he admit to dying his skin orange?

Why are colouring books good sellers?

I would think so.

I have a fantasy he admits before his death (Even if it’s 20 years from now) that he manipulated Republicans so easily. Now that he will have some sort of TV show or ongoing campaigning (like a televangelist) I guess he won’t do it right away if he ever does. It won’t even be on his death bed because his children can inherit the business.

He should dictate a book (so it could be edited by someone literate) from his actual perspective, something like:
“I moved on her like a bitch…”
“Like I said, I could shoot someone in broad daylight in the middle of Times Square and get away with it.”
“I wasn’t even paying attention during Presidential briefings. I tried once, and it so boring and annoying. What’s the point?”
“99% of the time, I’d just say the first thing that came into my mind. True, false, opposite of what I said yesterday? It never mattered.”
“Way before 2016, I watched some politician talking on TV, and I thought, these people just lie all the time. They could say anything. Hell I could do that. Better than any of them!”
“I ran for President on a bet. I didn’t expect to win the nomination. When I did, I thought HOLY SHIT, HOW DO I GET OUT OF THIS? But it was too late. That part about no one caring what I said, meant I was stuck.”
“After I won, there was this constant stream of people coming to me asking for me to do stuff, and offering all these deals if I did them. Easiest racket I ever had.”
Etc…

(Once convicted and in jail, so he has nothing to lose, and most to gain by producng the most revealing book, which would also perhaps be even easier than his usual non-stop stream of nonsense…)

There are already about thirty books on the Trump presidency, and probably that many more will be written after he leaves office. So many ‘firsts’ happened during the Trump presidency that it will be studied for a long time. Trump probably won’t write a book about his term as President because what others document, what others say, is more important than anything anyone can say about one’s self.

This question presumes that we will have the same freedom of the press that we have previously held throughout American history. We can already see massive suppression of information on Social media and so-called “mainline” networks. For instance, people who have forwarded the Hunter Biden laptop story have been banned from Facebook, even though it was a real news story.

@Zaku Imprisonment for political reasons will only become commonplace in the U.S. when Kamala Harris takes over—that is, when Obama gives the green light. We already have seen some of this by the Dems during the Russia hoax and during the Obama presidency. During Biden’s portion of his term, the Democrats will be playing like they are trying to heal and unify.

Books written by Trump and the Trump administration will be banned, like Social Media and mainstream news media currently do with information about Trump and the conservative perspective.

Zaku's avatar

Trump should be in jail for breaking laws and betraying the duties of his office and of citizenship. Nothing political about that.

By “information about Trump and the conservative perspective” I take it you mean lies, incitements to lawless idiocy, xenophobia and other nonsense. Many may pan such books (as they deserve) but no one bothers to try to ban them.

My first answer was censored.

@Yellowdog can you give any evidence of any of those allegations?

- banning books by Trump
– Imprisonment for political reasons
– Obama giving Kamala Harris the green light to do anything

I’d love to see your evidence, so maybe I could learn more about it.

@Yellowdog You really believe life under the democrats is really going to be that bad?
I mean under Trump you had peaceful demonstrators attacked so he could have a photo op at a local church.
Countless lies.
I know you think he handled Covid great,I guess that is why there is over 300,000 dead from it
He has rolled back and deregulated a ton of pollution laws,(who needs clean air or water ).
Given 1.25 Trillion dollars in tax breaks to big corporations,but can’t seem to find the money for any more covid stimulus money for the average American,and yet you just love the guy.
Oh and he refuses to take the responsibility for anything a tad negative on his watch, talks down and belittles just about everyone and yet blows a gasket when it’s done to him.

Probably. Not that we need another one…
