Could Trump make $100 million on his memoir

[IcyPeas]

The FOX5 article says he is being bombarded with book and tv deals.

1. Those motherfuckers might buy it as an act of fealty, but they sure as hell aren't going to READ it

Don't make me

[unitedwethrive]

2. So people would pay money to read a ghostwriter's take on the last 4 years?

We all know OrangeAnus could never write a book.

[Mariana]

15. Few of them would actually read it.

Trumpers will buy it and display it prominently in their homes to demonstrate their loyalty to their beloved leader, the same way members of the Nazi Party did with Mein Kampf.

3. It's out tonight....

Beware of a big run on Trump Crayons at Dollar General tomorrow.

5. That's funny!!!

4. True Story ...

I was traveling with my sister in Arizona. She wanted to visit some old friends, but warned me they were Trump followers. I'm a pretty easy-going person, so I thought I could be civil, as long as they were as well. Walked into their house. Trump flags hanging from the ceiling. Trump magnets on the fridge. They fed us. I was quiet but cordial. Then the wife started dragging out all their Trump paraphernalia. Trump guest bath soaps. Trump bobbleheads. Trump figurines. It was sickening. Every time the wife would laugh and say, "Oh I hope I'm not making you mad." Finally I got up and told my sister I would wait outside by the car.

My sister was angry with me and said I embarrassed her. I told her that her "friends" were terrible hosts, and that I would never do to a guest what they did to me.

So long story short, will these idiots buy his book? Hell yes they will, if for no other reason than to say they have it. They are a cult, and anything with his name on it they'll want.

[ooky]

36. Sounds like you were trapped in the mouth of the cult.

A little more than just "supporters". That must have been dreadful.

[Hoyt]

6. I suspect the MFer will make loads for memoir, autographed MAGA hats and confederate

flags, rallies, etc. If that fails, he can charge for people to throw rotten tomatoes, blivets, etc., at him.

[IcyPeas]

7. Blivet

What a great word. Had to look it up.

[Hoyt]

9. I knew I'd find a use for it someday. :)

[tinrobot]

8. If he gets the advance, he's still over $300 million in debt.

[lagomorph777]

37. $900M - but who's counting?

Oh, yeah. Putin. Ji Xinping. Un.

[MontanaMama]

10. He will take the advance and

not deliver the book. It’ll be like his health care plan.

[lagomorph777]

38. Blank book.

[no_hypocrisy]

11. Trump is so delusional that he likely believes his book will be displayed on countless coffee tables

like Germans did with Mein Kampf during The Third Reich. That would make him see $$$$$$.

OTOH, Trump Jr.'s book Triggered was in the bargain bin about two weeks after publication.

[Mariana]

18. I think that's exactly what many of Trump's cult members will do.

And even Trump's most rabid groupies don't care about Junior or his book.

[Vivienne235729]

12. His people don't read, either. It will be a complete bomb.

[panader0]

13. I thought you weren't allowed to make a profit while in prison.

[Mariana]

20. But he isn't in prison.

It will be years before he's convicted of anything, IF that ever happens.

[panader0]

23. I'll take that bet.

[Mariana]

28. He might be charged in the near future

but it'll still take a long time to get to trial and conviction.

[fescuerescue]

24. His legal troubles will still be in the headlines by the time of the next Mid Term elections

Probably even the 2024 eleections.

[Maxheader]

14. it's amazing the winger trash you see...

In bookstores..So I guess someone reads it..The biographies, accusations.

Conspiracy theories....

[Keth]

16. Well

I guess it will be listed in the children's section. It can't have too many big words.

[SmartVoter22]

17. Buy a known publisher for $100M

$100 Million dollars is more than it would cost to create, from scratch, a completely new and independent publishing company.
That would include; writers, editors, marketing, paper mills and the physical printing & distribution of a book.

It would be cheaper to buy a known publisher to print one book. Is Mifflin for sale?

[Fyrefox]

19. What's next...Trump, the video game?

A book would allow his base to keep the fantasy and idol-worship thing going. Speculation is high that Trump wants to re-brand himself as a media mogul, anyways, assuming that he avoids prison...

[fescuerescue]

25. He did that 18 years ago

[Thrill]

21. Not surprised

Still can’t believe he got more votes than in 16. Unreal

[mnmoderatedem]

22. I'd buy it

my dog cages need lining

[Gothmog]

26. I hope not

[UTUSN]

27. Why? He has no insight into himself or events. And all they have to do is plaster his Tweets togethe

that nobody wants to hear from ever again.

[Mariana]

29. His cult members will buy it to demonstrate their loyalty.

They won't read it, but they'll buy it.

[UTUSN]

32. That's plausible!

[greenjar_01]

30. He'll still be 300 million in the hole

Get writing, fucko.

[Laxman]

31. Who's Going To Write It For Him....

I'm pretty sure Tony Schwartz is out.

[ooky]

33. What a literary treasure this would be.

"The Book of Lies". Real lies, all lies, from cover to cover.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

34. Good. Keep him occupied with book deals and tv deals

Then maybe he'll stay out of government.

[lagomorph777]

35. That would cover about 10% of his debt.

Probably not enough to keep his kneecaps intact.
