Politico: Almost five months after leaving office, major publishing houses still are wary of publishing a book by Trump, even though a post-White House memoir would almost assuredly be a best-seller. Their reluctance is driven by several factors, though the underlying fear is that whatever Trump would write wouldnt be truthful.

Undoubtedly his former staff and cabinet members will be equally factual, no?

Good! Let him know that he is as irrelevant as a person as he will soon be as a politician.
