Trump saying he doesn’t want a book deal is the same as him saying he doesn’t want people to give him money. That’s possibly the biggest lie he could ever tell.

"I'm writing like crazy anyway."

Writing crazy shit is not the same thing as writing like crazy.

“Yesterday was his 75th birthday”

Am I a bad person for sincerely hoping it’s his last?

Trump is no longer in office, despite his insisting otherwise. But the use of book deals to funnel money to politicians is still the same model. And, we know both the RNC and the MAGAts would buy/bulk buy a new Trump book, so profit wouldn’t be an issue for a publishing house. So, why is he being blacklisted by them?

Oh yeah.

Some publishing arm of Russia Today or OAN (I repeat myself).

If any legit publisher even so much as poked the idea with a stick they'd have a staff mutiny on their hands.

Say what you want about Mike Pence - I, for one, certainly do so frequently - but unlike that other guy, I'm pretty sure he's literate and can write a complete sentence.

That said, I am prepared to go to the stake rather than read anything Pence writes.

Worried about defamation lawsuits, I would imagine. Defaming people in Twitter comments is one thing, but printing libelous assertions in a mass-market published book is a whole different thing. It's why publishers have legal teams in the first place.

I long for the day TFFFG is but a rainbow skim of oil dotted on what is left of our shattered country.

true fact: 'The Little Prince' is what all the Trump men have named their peeners.

I read that as "Pence".

I highly doubt this functionally illiterate clown "writes" anything, as opposed to carnival barking out his intellectually-bankrupt gruntings and asking someone else to put them in some kind of quasi-readable order.

I will never understand why so many people fell under his sway. He's a human sack of shit, and hardly anyone's hill to die on, but here we are.

He's named his 'Mother's Little Helper'.
