Donald Trump says he’s writing a book and it’s all about how the 2020 election was rigged against him, and how Joe Biden‘s a fraud, and how Democrats are evil, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaking at an event in Austin, Texas, this past weekend, the ex-president told supporters: “This is the greatest hoax, heist. This is one of the greatest crimes in the history of our country. And sadly, the prosecutors don’t want to do anything about it.”
“This is the crime of the century. I’m actually writing a book about it called The Crime of the Century.”
Trump went on to say he doesn’t think anyone will “enjoy” the book, but it’s necessary for him to write for posterity’s sake.
“You’ll be very depressed when you read it,” he told the crowd, “but we want to have it down for historic reasons.”
Most presidents sign book deals. The Obamas, for instance, inked a $60 million deal for their memoirs. Joe and Jill Biden got $16.5 million for theirs. And George and Laura Bush reportedly received around $12 million for theirs.

But not Trump.
The Crime of the Century is being self-published by Don Jr.’s Winning Team Publishing, which previously released a picture book called Our Journey Together documenting Trump’s one-term presidency last December.
“NEW BOOK ALERT: CRIME OF THE CENTURY by President Donald J Trump!” Don Jr. announced the other day, promising more details soon.

Last June, Trump claimed to have “turned down two book deals, from the most unlikely of publishers” because he did “not want a deal right now.” But he added: “I’m writing like crazy anyway, however, and when the time comes, you’ll see the book of all books.”

Publishing insiders, however, said no mainstream house would touch a Trump memoir, with one insider telling Politico, “It would be too hard to get a book that was factually accurate. That would be the problem. If he can’t even admit that he lost the election, then how do you publish that?”
Here’s what Twitter has to say about the whole thing…
The fact you’re making a profit from false accusations is disturbing.

Will it be in the horror, or fiction section?

We lived it for 4 years. I certainly don’t need to read about his single term to know what a crime it was.

It’s an autobiography about how he provided polling data to Russia to influence his 2016 election win.

So he wrote his autobiography? That title suits him well.

Does it come with crayons or colored pencils?

And how many copies has the RNC pledged to buy…? 🤷🏻♂️

I trust this will be an audiobook only.
Nobody ever accused MAGA of being readers.

Written by a ghostwriter, naturally. pic.twitter.com/TexfUAmQKv

Mister P
Of course he will write a book accusing Biden of everything he did. That’s what he does.
Reading the book would depress me, but so does reading anything about Drump.
Jim
LOL. So who is the ghostwriter?
mateo
Melania. Get ready for article-free sentences and phrases, in the grand tradition of “Be best”.
ZzBomb
It’ll be a picture book, like his last “NYT BEST SELLER” was.
On a side note, I’m glad he’s still butt hurt over his 2020 loss. I hope that he never lives it down and likely becomes terminal.

Stay in Mar-A-Lardo freak, with your hooker wife

Now now, she’s not just a hooker. She’s a mail order bride hooker to you sir!?

Too bad I don’t read historical fiction, because I prefer history books that have at least SOME basis in fact.

Don the Con is a criminal many times over!
Lock him up, lock him up!

People like Hillary Clinton, Biden, Harris, etc.. need to start suing the Republicans who lie. Look at the panic that happened at FOX News when Dominion voting didn’t just let their lies about their products stand. FOX Apologized, reported that they were wrong and they’re STILL getting sued for a billion dollars. LOL

Well Cam, suing someone for defamation works best when the accuser is actually lying. Besides, the Demoncrats have enough luck rigging the system to their favor. As seen this past presidential election! And the Clintons need not worry at all, their accusers have a bad habit of “killing themselves” before any investigation can proceed. Who needs the court system when you have such good luck on your side?
Den
“Demoncrats [“demoncrats”? how stupid and adolescent of you…but not unexpected from an idiot like you] have enough luck rigging the system to their favor. As seen this past presidential election!”
PROVIDE EVEN ONE VERIFIABLE PIECE OF PROOF THAST THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED, OR BE LAUGHED AT AS THE IDIOT YOU SO CLEARLY ARE.
“the Clintons need not worry at all, their accusers have a bad habit of ‘killing themselves’ ”
PROVIDE ONE PIECE OF PROOF FOR THE DEBUNKED NOTIONS OF THE CLINTONS AS MURDERERD OR BE SEEN CLEARLY AS THE IDIOT YOU ARE BY EVERYONE HERE WITH EVEN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EDUCATION.
(upper case responses for differentiation only, not yelling…why waste energy on a fool)
“beloved Crackhead in Chief”
PROVIDE ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE FROM A VALID SOURCE THAT DEMONSTRATES OR EVEN IMPLIES THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN USES CRACK. OR, BE LAUGHED AT AS THE IDIOT CHILD YOU UNDENIABLY ARE.
You are great support for the belief that right wingers are intrinsically stupid or simply bovine.
Max
it’ll be book that is full of his grievances and zero substance.
eclecticstarz
I doubt the orange turd bucket of death has every read a book let alone written one.
Invader7
No one will buy that piece of fiction….
Harley
He will “write” a book. Will be mostly blank pages. The RNC and CPAC will buy millions of copies to give out as door prizes to their crappy conventions. And people will toss then in the trash on the way out the door. Then they will claim it’s a world wide best seller.
Joshooeerr
Donald Trump writing a book is, of course, hilarious. His previous books were entirely written by hired writers. Tony Schwartz, who wrote The Art of the Deal, later said it was his “greatest regret in life, without question”. Both he and the publisher insist that Trump played no part in writing the book, despite Trump frequently citing it as one of his proudest achievements. It’s actually highly likely that Trump hasn’t even read it.
wikidBSTN
How does someone who cannot read write a book?
jt1990
The same way our beloved Crackhead in Chief makes his own notecards: with a bit of (taxpayer-funded team of mediocre writers) help.
GrizzleyMichael
Who is going to help him with the big words.
MinnesotaNotNice
Hah, that will wind up immediately on the $5 shelf at Barnes & Noble, right next to Mike Lindell’s book.
Terrycloth
It makes a good firestarter..it has to be a picture pop up book. He knows how to use a coloring book with his favorite orange crayon

I have already post my pre-order on Amazon.
LOL.LOL.LOL.
NTF! Buying loo paper is cheaper to……. You get my drift?
