Trump’s First Post-Presidency Book Will, Fittingly, Require Little Reading and Cost Way Too Much
Leave it to Trump to try to swindle his supporters out of money, and just in time for the holidays. Our Journey Together , Trump’s first book since he was president, will be published on Dec. 7 by Winning Team Publishing, a company started by Donald Trump Jr. and Sergio Gor. News of the book’s publication was first reported by The Washington Examiner . The book is a coffee table-style publication that will contain more than 300 images, some of which will include captions in Trump’s distinctive all-caps handwriting. To buy the book, Trump is charging $74.99 or, for a signed copy, $229.99.
Although Trump bragged that he had received offers from traditional publishers, telling Politico in June that “two of the biggest and most prestigious publishing houses have made very substantial offers which I have rejected.” The outlet reported that the largest publishing houses were reluctant to do business with the former president because they feared he would spread lies in his books.
In true Trumpian style, the marketing for the book is overblown and hilarious. “This photo book captures the greatness of the last four years unlike anything else that has been published,” the book’s website promises . The site even features quotes from Trump’s children. “These photos provide an intimate glimpse into some of the most pivotal moments of his historic presidency,” Ivanka Trump said in a gushing testimonial.
This past June, Trump hinted he had a book in the works. “I’m writing like crazy anyway, however, and when the time comes, you’ll see the book of all books,” Trump said in a statement after news broke that Pence landed a seven-figure book deal with Simon & Schuster, something that The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman reported had been “grating on” Trump. Nearly six months later, all that “writing like crazy” has produced … a picture book.
A picture book!
what a waste of trees...
Is it pre-colored, or does it come with a Presidential set of crayons?
All orange.
Don't forget the mandatory black magic marker, included with every book. Works on maps too.
"Although Trump bragged that he had received offers from traditional publishers, telling Politico in June that “two of the biggest and most prestigious publishing houses have made very substantial offers which I have rejected.” The outlet reported that the largest publishing houses were reluctant to do business with the former president because they feared he would spread lies in his books."
What reputable publishing house would deal with this lying steaming pile of shit?
It should be a coloring book.
... in a comic book format.
It will use, "I" more than any book in history.
“it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
He has his 'suckers' (anyone who still supports him as GOP leader and potential candidate for PotUS) all lined up, might as well exploit them yet again.
Writing like crazy? Yeah I guess writing those captions took some time....
ya know we really need a jerking off emoji
Here's all the 'writing' he did - the captions
"In a statement announcing the book, Trump said that he wrote all of the (very short) captions. One example obtained by the Examiner accompanied an image of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi talking with Trump and then-Vice President Mike Pence in the Oval Office. “Attempting to listen to Crazy Nancy Pelosi in the Oval Office — such natural disagreement,” Trump wrote."
He was just upset that she kept using big words.
"ya know we really need a jerking off emoj"
imagine what the discussion threads would look like in 3 groups
The book is a covfefe table-style publication that will contain more than 300 images...
I wonder if there are photos of ''hamberders'' in the book.
