He’s best known for his work in real estate, television, and leader of the free world, but you might have forgotten that Donald Trump is also a bestselling author. Some of his more well-known titles include “Trump: The Art of the Deal,” “The America We Deserve,” and “Trump: How to Get Rich.” During his presidential campaign, he set forth his policies in “Great Again: How to Fix Our Crippled America.”
There have also been many books written about Trump, not all of them complimentary. Most recently, Maggie Haberman’s bio “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America,” paints a dismal picture of him. Included is the revelation that the main reason Trump ran for president was not to make America better, but to enhance his brand. He told Haberman in an interview, “I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are” (via The Atlantic). Now Trump is apparently perturbed that there aren’t enough flattering biographies about him. In a Truth Social post that was reposted on Twitter, he claimed that mainstream book publishers are giving potential biographers a choice: Do a smear job on him, or no deal. “I know many people that wanted to write a good book about me, but their publishers wouldn’t let them,” Trump wrote. “They were not interested in any way, shape or form unless they were willing to say bad things. Some took a pass, and some sold out to the enemy.”

Some wondered whether Trump should be more concerned about the massive hurricane that wreaked havoc on Florida. “His home state was just devastated, but let’s fret about books,” tweeted a user. Then again, Trump’s actions during Hurricane Ian have already raised eyebrows. According to Business Insider, he spent the storm at Mar-a-Lago, sending a fundraising email.
