Trump will claim that the book is coming out after election day because it’s going to trash Biden.

Is Trump going to try to stop publication on national security grounds? “Obama talked to me during the transition, so any mention of me is classified.” I’m only half joking. Trump is so vainglorious and delusional that at this point I wouldn’t put it past him.

ETA: Yes, I know this is the first volume and it’s about his early life and first term in office. But I’m not sure Trump would be aware or care about that.

“…my take on what I got right and the mistakes I made…”

And there it is, in a single, subtle phrase. Not even passive-voiced “mistakes were made.” Who’s the party of personal responsibility now?

If this book has anywhere near the quality of writing that his first two books had we are in for a real treat.

Barack Obama is skilled at reading and writing. Donald Trump is not skilled at reading and writing.

I’m sure it will outsell the Art of the deal. Whatever makes Trumps head explode.

Did you really have to mention that SOB’s name 3 times in the first comment on Obama’s book?

I know…won’t it be great when we never have to hear that voice, see that vulgar persona or read/hear that name ever again?
Unless of course it’s about indictments, sentencing, suffering…what have you.

I can’t wait till we get to see the first pic of the asshole in prison garb, without the bronzer and fake tan bullshit. He’s going to look just like one of his fat, racist, hollow, fox addicted, piece of shit supporters.

Trick question.

Yeah, you’re right. I mean, particularly since Biden didn’t issue a national mask mandate. Shirker.

I don’t see why he gets to call himself a former Vice President.

It’ll have the full goods on how Hunter passed Burisma kickbacks to Biden and Obama, how Hillary led the raid on the consulate in Benghazi, and many, many other crimes they all got away with.

There will be a couple of chapters dedicated to how Obama paid off Ukrainian hackers to hack the DNC and make it look like russians.

Took him four years not to write it, but to make sure that the statute of limitations had expired on everything he’s going to reveal

It’s a shame it doesn’t come out before the election and, more so, that it doesn’t cover the transition period. I’ll bet he has some hair-raising stories about Kockholster and his Klan’s incompetence and arrogance. Not that we need any more.
