Trump eagerly plotting his post-presidential memoir that he says will be a New York Times bestseller

Trump is already plotting his post-presidential memoir that he claims will be a New York Times bestseller – and he can’t wait to settle some scores

  • Trump reportedly wants to write a memoir to retaliate against enemies in the media, Democrats, Republicans, law enforcement and his own administration
  • The president feels his memoir would be a bestseller and is motivated by authors such as Omarosa Manigault Newman and Michael Wolff writing books about him
  • While he would likely receive a low seven figure deal, some publishing houses are concerned about the headaches of marketing such a controversial figure 
  • Trump’s, ‘Crippled America,’ a more political book that featured his ideas for a border wall, was the most recent publication under his name released in 2015

Despite not yet finishing the term, President Trump is reportedly already eager to publish his post-presidential memoir and get some payback on detractors at the same time.

According to the Daily Beast, Trump has been discussing producing his explosive memoir that he predicts will be a New York Times bestseller since 2017.

‘He sounded excited about it,’ a source who was present when Trump made remarks about the book told the website. ‘He said it would sell better than even ‘The Art of the Deal.”

Trump has talked about how such a book could be weaponized to settle some scores with the media, Democrats, disloyal Republicans, law enforcement, and even people inside his own administration, according to a friend of the president. 

On at least one social occasion, this friend allegedly heard the president refer to something that just happened by saying, ‘that’ll go great in a book.’ 

The president is reportedly motivated by the numerous books written about him, adding to his desire to get his memoir published.

He’s been aggrieved by figures such as Omarosa Manigault Newman, a former friend and co-star who worked in his administration and used recordings of him for her own book, ‘Unhinged’, railed at former communications aide Cliff Sims for his book ‘A Team of Vipers’ and ended up dismissing former chief strategist Steve Bannon for his cutting remarks about Trump family in Michael Wolff’s book ‘Fire and Fury’.

‘I think I’ll save it for a book like everybody else and I’ll write it,’ Trump said in an October press conference when asked about accusing an unnamed lawmaker about sexual misconduct. ‘I’m not giving it to you.’  

Trump’s previous ghost-written book ‘The Art of the Deal’ has sold possibly over a million copies over its lifespan. His ‘Crippled America’, the last book published under his name and also a bestseller, featured his call for the construction of a southern border wall and was released a year before his election. 

However, current publishers may be less enthusiastic for future books from the president.

Some publishing houses allegedly shrank away from a seven-figure deal for a book by the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., for a book that ended up not getting published in 2018, and a number of publishing houses have voiced concerns about how to market a book by the controversial president himself.

Still, though sources say that a deal for a Trump presidential memoir would fall short of the kinds of deals former President Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama received, he would still be likely to garner a low seven-figure contract.
