Now we know what Trump was doing

The last few weeks of his presidency.  www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/emails-show-trump-white-house-wanted-doj-to-pursue-2020-election-challenges/ar-AAL57Yv?li=BBnb7Kz

Attempting to strong arm the DOJ to step in and declare the elections in certain states invalid, due to Italian forces using military satellites to magically change Trump votes to Biden votes, trying to get the Fulton County GA votes tossed for ‘irregularities,’ and to announce how Venezuela reprogrammed the Dominion software to flip Trump votes for Biden. 

Remember how Trump and his buddies had such a melt down because Obama was taping Trump during the last campaign? (He wasn’t).  

Sounds quaint, now.

Well, at least he gets to write a book about being president and getting paid a shit ton of money.

The publishing companies don't have enough fact checkers to go through any new book trump writes 'himself'.

It doesn't sound quaint to me now, and might not ever. It was the first of Trump's big lies. Actually it is the first big sell of pure propaganda IMO. He isn't just a liar. He's a propaganda artist and the bolded was the first that led to the nonsense of Jan. 6th and beyond.

The GOP and the faux Conservatives own falling for it. And continue to fling their own propaganda proudly as if they were Americans and not people who IMO should be voted out of the country for failing and willfully going against American ideals. I would like to see pics of the damage to antique furniture etc. damaged in the storming of the Capitol. I'd like to make it mem worthy. Captions like this is really how Trump supporters feel about cancel culture (love it, if its them canceling the past)
or
if its our house, how is it respectful to trash the place?

Yes, the fact checking would be a nightmare plus imagine trying to tell Trump he can’t claim the Italians used satellites to change Trump votes into Biden votes- Trump would insist on including all sorts of weird conspiracies. What editor would want that.

He can always self publish though. Plenty of MAGA heads would be eager to scoop up a poorly ghost written screed about how mean everyone has been to Trump.

The ghost writer who wrote Trump’s Art of the Deal bitterly regrets writing that book now.  If Trump did write a book, he’d be scraping the bottom of the barrel for writers too.  Considering that Trump’s not known for paying what he owes, the pickings would be incredibly slim.

Apparently he also screwed over the publishing houses as well, so that’s another reason they don’t want him as a client.

You can get away with being an ass in business for a long time but not forever.

the timing of that is almost identical to Trump pushing the DOJ to meddle in the elections.

Chao and DeVos were the 2 that resigned after 1/6, I believe.

Maybe someone will publish it as fiction. That would be amazing.

Trump's Memoir Is Bringing Publishers to a Long-Overdue Reckoning With Truth

The first ex-president to publish a memoir during his lifetime was James Buchanan, who retired from public office in disgrace in 1861, leaving behind a nation torn asunder by slavery and the impending secession of the southern states. Buchanan’s untitled memoir was abysmal, according to presidential historian Craig Fehrman, author of Author in Chief: The Untold Story of Our Presidents and the Books They Wrote. “Buchanan’s is definitely the worst presidential memoir I’ve read,” Fehrman told Smithsonian Magazine. “It’s mostly just James Buchanan trying to blame everyone except James Buchanan for the war and its aftermath.” The kicker: it was terrible, but it sold.

How fitting that Buchanan would set the precedent now reaching its apex with Donald Trump, his successor for the title of American history’s worst president. In the publishing world, Trump is regarded as an untouchable, even though his post-White House memoir would assuredly top the bestseller charts and generate a windfall for the publisher foolhardy enough to touch it. Never before has a modern president struggled to score a cushy book deal after leaving office, but as ever, Trump has notched another ignoble first. Members of the Big Five publishing houses see his memoir as a third rail, fearing that such a book would be closer to a work of fiction than memoir. Keith Urbahn, president and founding partner of the creative and literary agency Javelin, told Politico, “Any editor bold enough to acquire the Trump memoir is looking at a fact-checking nightmare, an exodus of other authors, and a staff uprising.”

Trump, for his part, claims to be writing “the book of all books,” and insists that his memoir has prestigious suitors. In a statement last Friday, he claimed to have received and rejected two offers “from the most unlikely of publishers”; in a second statement on Monday, he said, “Two of the biggest and most prestigious publishing houses have made very substantial offers, which I have rejected.” Senior sources at the Big Five tell Politico that no such offers have been extended. Speculation abounds that the “most unlikely of publishers” could include All Seasons Press, a brand new publisher whose stated mission is “to publish the best writers, politicians, and pundits in the conservative movement.” Founded by publishing veterans Louise Burke, who tried and failed to publish Milo Yiannopoulos at an imprint of Simon & Schuster, and Kate Hartson, who was fired from Center Street after publishing such Trumpworld figures as Donald Trump Jr. and Jeanine Pirro, All Seasons Press has already lined up books from Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows and Trump advisor Peter Navarro. Alexei Woltornist, who co-founded Axios and worked in Trump’s Department of Homeland Security, told The New York Times, “Conservatives are getting serious in setting up our own parallel infrastructure. We can’t be reliant on people who are hostile to our ideas to continue hosting us.”

So they want they want a parallel Trump universe based on his version of the truth?

I would think, though, if a publisher released a book that claimed, for example, that Trump won the 2020 election and listed Dominion as one of the reasons the vote was wrong, Dominican can sue both Trump and the Publisher for liable. Unless you declare it a work of fiction (which this sounds like it will be).

The publisher would have to be pretty stupid to volunteer for that.

oh, they are pretty stupid.
