So who's supposed to get scared because Trump is threatening to write a tell all book?

Last edited Sat Apr 6, 2019, 01:07 AM - Edit history (1)

Heck he couldn't write a book when presumably he had all his faculties. Now who here believes he is capable of writing a book that working people would want to buy at a time in his life when his speech is slurred and he can't talk coherently. He hasn't studied anything since he's been in the White House, so anything other than gossip would be pure speculation (or bullshit) since he has showed no intellectual curiosity about anything since he became President except how he can make money for himself, off his supporters.

At this stage of his presidency, he's beginning to slur his speech and can't seem to find the proper words, so he wouldn't be fooling anyone by claiming to write a book. He couldn't write one 30 years ago without the assistance of a ghostwriter, when you would assume he was younger and of sound mind. His ghostwriter has stated in interviews that Trump wasn't interested in that book and the ghostwriter pretty much wrote "The Art of the Deal" himself by sitting in his office observing Trump; as Trump was not interested in contributing. Besides, who would want to read such a book when just like everything else Trumps says is either lies or fiction.

I can't imagine he could put together two consecutive sentences without serious help, much less a book.

Honestly, who in the world is dumb enough to have less dirt on Trump than Trump has on them? Besides Uday and Qusay, I mean...

Threatening to spill your secrets about someone only works if they can't reciprocally drop the hammer harder on you. And Trump is so crooked, and dumb about it, that almost EVERYONE in the world can do that.

to make his blather coherent.

Wouldn't surprise me if he publishes something prior to the election, a preemptive attack on anyone who's ever opposed him or who looks to thwart his ambitions.

I put nothing beyond this maniacal man. He may not have the billions he claims he does but he certainly has enough money to fund all his crazy schemes.

And if nothing else, he can fall back on his time-tested technique of simply stiffing the help.

Let's hope he finds a ghost writer who sneaks in some real zingers. I, for one, would love an account of how that assemblage on his head is created every day. Is there a team of stylists and architects that works on it? How long does it take? How many animals had to die? What about the glue?

I'm not even sure who the audience is for this. His imbecilic cult followers don't even read.

They're going to be spending half their time sharpening his crayons for him, since he won't be allowed to have a sharpener.
