Trump White House biography

[Nickyjo]

and when he does they will just call him a grifter

What reason exist not to?

We know that every president writes a book about his time in the WH. It’s been 20 months since he left, but there hasn’t been any news about it. By this time with Obama, we had learned that he was writing much of it himself and that it would thus be awhile before it would be published. You would think that there would be some sort of leak about how Trump’s WH biography is going, but crickets thus far. Maybe he can’t find a writer willing to sell his soul. Here’s how another chatter puts it:

He'll just let his narssisistic lies spew out into a recorder, and hire flunkies to pretty them up and he'll get the same pricetag either way.

Good point. We all know how Trump rambles incoherently with stream of consciousness blather when he talks extemporaneously. What professional writer would want to wade through all that and try to separate the multitude of lies from what little substance there may be? What professional ghost writer would want or be subjected to Trump reading the drafts and DEMANDING that his LIES be part of it? Trump is going to have to find a hack ghost writer to sell his soul in order to construct a book composed of clear lies on page after page after page. Maybe Trump is having trouble finding such a person, just as he’s having trouble finding lawyers willing to defend him. Who wants to work for a known liar? And one who often won’t pay his bills.
One thing for sure. Once it is published, the ignorant base will rush to buy it so that he can brag that it’s the “best-selling” WH biography, and perhaps the “best selling American book of all time”. That’s all he really want from the book, truth be damned.

Trumps biography will be a biography of lies and deception.

The title of Trump book would be named "How to lie, deny, and pass blame for failures on to others"

I can’t imagine all of the lies that’s he will demand go in that book.

It will be a HUGH book.

If he wrote it himself:

 

[pocket aces]

IMO, Trump should wait until the end of his second term (2028) before writing any memoirs.

Only an anti American would hope for that.

IMO, Trump should wait until the end of his second term (2028) before writing any memoirs.

He'll be writing in prison. If he nail him with a felony, he will not be eligible to run for public office.

 

[reflechissez]

One should not joke about politicians having ghost writers.

They all do.

I remember how shocked I was when I learned that John F. Kennedy's famous Profiles in Courage was largely ghost written.

And, of course, if the 46th President ever issues a book, even his most ardent fans will realize that it was ghost written.

One of the most sensitive issues is whether those books written by the 44th President were actually written by him.

Sensitive to whom? You?

Sean Hannity Reminds Listeners That Felons Can Run for President as Trump Is Investigated by DOJ

'Being a felon is not a disqualification,' Hannity said on his radio show, though the former president has not been charged with any crimes at this point in the investigation

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution states that U.S. citizenship, being 35 years or older and a resident for at least 14 years are what's required to be POTUS.

With al due respect, I see no problem with that. It is his book and his story. If the ghostwriter wants to give a more correct picture, the ghostwriter can write his/her own book.As long as the book is Trumps own biography over his presidency, he can say or claim just about anything he wants to claim or say and the ghostwriter just has to write it down in a form that is understandable.

Problem with that is not the ghostwriter but the publishing companies willingness to publish it. They can, together with Trump, get sued depending on the nature of the lies. I don’t believe the ghostwriter can.

He hasn't even announced he is running.

 

[Airyaman]

He hasn't even announced he is running.

He's waiting to see if he gets a target letter.

Maybe the editor can assemble the book by stringing together his tweets sequentially while adding cartoon illustrations of him throwing things or ripping things up. He or she could add texture to the illustrations so that his readers can learn by touch. Some illustrations could also have pull tabs in which the reader helps him to open and close umbrellas or to hide a box of documents. What a fun activity book this could be. Each copy will include a stamped signature, a genuine ketchup stain, and a membership card.

 

[Buckeyes85]

Given that the man talks about himself incessantly; every waking minute, and always has, what could he possibly have left to say?

Why single out Obama as an issue if all President's do it?

Excellent! Perhaps you could apply for the job!

It does appear that Obama actually wrote at least a portion of his WH biography himself, which is indeed more that most do. GW Bush showed his utter stupidity every time he opened his mouth, so we shouldn’t expect that he wrote even a sentence of his.
