Almost five months after leaving office, major publishing houses still are wary of publishing a book by former President Donald Trump, even though a post-White House memoir would almost assuredly be a best-seller

and a report that Trump

Trump didn’t reveal who the two publishers were. But in a statement on Monday afternoon to POLITICO, he insisted that “two of the biggest and most prestigious publishing houses have made very substantial offers which I have rejected.” POLITICO reached out to top publishers and editors at the “Big Five” publishing houses — Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan Publishers, and Simon & Schuster — to see if they had heard anything about any such deals Trump had been offered. None of the sources said they had heard about such potential book offers, and most said they wouldn’t touch a Trump project when he does start shopping a book around.

A spokesperson for Regnery, Lauren McCue, declined to comment when asked if the imprint would be interested in Trump’s eventual book. “It’s likely that a few unlikely people did approach him!” one industry source said in a text message, before adding a joke. “But that could be, like, a publisher in Zimbabwe,” they texted, with a laughing/crying emoji. Two people in publishing said that such an offer would likely entail a profit-sharing deal.

Trump lost.

Lol...you folks are about to be flooded with books about this guy...enjoy.

No one expects him to do anything but lie. They voted for that. Hope for that. Pray for that. Worship that. And people think an omnipotent ”god“ exists? Fantasy. Welcome to the United States.

I'll be keeping this leftist fake news to print, fold and use as a bookmark when Trump becomes number 1 on the New York Times best seller list.

Time to publish a list of the publishers who rejected VP Pence’s and Pres Trump’s books but moved forward publishing Gov Cuomo’s and Dr Fauci’s. Cuomo and Fauci are capitalizing on the pandemic!

The worst punishment (and the one he fears the most) you can give him is irrelevance.

…like him or loath him, it would be a winner.

Because his supporters can’t read?

He’s certainly one of our worst enemies but he’s also his own worst enemy.

Of course another problem will be finding a competent ghost writer willing to take it on.

Believe it or not, lying does have consequences.

And why wouldn’t they be ?

Donakd who?

Well it would be full of lies & innuendos! Why would they wanna publish that? He can write that crap (no pun intended) on any men's room wall!!

That’s because it would be filled with lies, misinformation & hate😡 Publishing companies already struggle & that would be the tipping point.😡

What a Con Man 🤣

Typical Chump BS

What publishing company w/any integrity would want 2 publish a book that they know is going 2b full of lies.

Politico could publish it They run this fucking same article 3 times a week

Well, if he wrote it it would be repetitive and full of lies.

Great news!

“Shit my dad says Vol. 2”

Same response to the idea of Jared and his book: USDA prime grade A TP.

I guess the titles are quite harsh to sell. MyGreatestCon how I killed the American Experience . AmericaLast Me Me & Me. SellingAmerica to the lowest bidder.

It's a lie about the book of lies that the liar won't even be writing.

Well...they claim they would like to...but he insists on including the crayons...and those are so expensive!

As well they should be wary! He's likely to insist on a 'no fact-checking allowed!' clause in any book deal, and that will be poison to all respectable publishing houses. If he wants his side told on his terms, he is going to have to self-publish and stiff the staff hired!

Are they coloring books?

Because he is poison

Becaus it would be all lies

I don't know why, most people are sick to death of his name his face. I'm certainly not going to read anything that comes out on any of them.

Five whole months? Gee! That's like three years in idiot publisher's opportunist time.

Really can't blame them. They don't want to have their name and reputation associated with a liar.

It speaks volumes about the current frozen democracy of the US.

Because 'Trump book' is an oxymoron.

It will probably be full of lies. Fiction?

Who would buy anything from this guy? Especially a book! A book filled with lies!

He's so toxic. Cancer to America

They should be. The book will be full of false bravado and lies.

I'm not interested in a book written by someone who can't read, can't speak, garbles words then makes errors when correcting them. And wading through all this just to be you sure you understand the lies? Just too much.

Hunter Biden gets book Deals?

Maybe because he can barely write...

He wants to write it with a sharpie🤪Chapter 1: How great I am Chapter 2: How much greater I am than chapter1:: etc.🤪

No market for a coloring book, written by a racist? Weird…

I don't really care, do you? Why?

Will get a statement from him any second saying they r all fighting for the right to publish his book and he will make a decision in 2 weeks

Mein Kampf 2.0... who wants their imprint of that piece of crap

They can publish it…but a lot of people won’t buy it!

Have him read one first.

No wonder. Not really interested in a scratch and sniff book written by a guy with an IQ of 60. Looks like somebody is a widdle mad that Jared, the Traitor got a book deal.

Picture books by former presidents have never been that popular.

Can it be considered non-fiction if it's full of lies?

He can write?

The pandemic is ending, so the demand for adult coloring books decrease.

Relying on Former Guy....a losing proposition

He doesn’t read; why would anyone think he can write?

BookTV A rogue group of mercenaries have targeted a deadly assassin and a CIA operative for revenge. They're about to find out the hard way that revenge comes with a high price. BLACKHAWK: THE VENDETTA BOOK ONE IN AN EXCITING TRILOGY

a best-seller that could very likely get more people killed

Who’s writing the book

Trump is scrambling to find a ghostwriter for his book after learning that Joseph Goebbels is dead.

Call it fiction and i have no issue with a grump book.

The fact checking alone would drive them insane.

The

We heard all the lies already?!

COLORING books don't count.

He should have his ghost writer write about 'How I incited an insurrection!'

That means he has no offers from any major publishing houses. Unless you count Russian State Media and the Koch Brothers.

Sidewalk chalk and color crayons and definitely a black sharpie! He's ready to publish.

Can you imagine the insanity that would ensue in trying to get a coherent book out of this guy? Not to mention the wall of lawsuits the editor and publishing house would have to endure! There's no win for a publisher.

To: Re: Former Guy's Book & Publishing Houses They're Doing Like Everyone Else &

WOMP WOMP

It is incorrect and wrong to block it, imo. It should be allowed to be published. Goes against free speech and expression otherwise. But all those who want to Publish are stupid .. they can simply make 'e-books' or Short Stories and put it up page by page. Non-issue this is.

I don’t think his supporters can read
