1. Trump is illiterate, unintelligent and uninteresting and can't write a book without a ghost writer.

2. They've always got the reliable nut publisher who's doing Hawley's book.
They've been peddling garbage for decades and Trump still has enough suckers on the line to make them some money.

5. Nobody in the civilized world needs to publish Trump's
"The Art of My Kampf". Maybe he can find a publisher in Russia.

6. There's enough bad fiction out there as it is...
...without Trump adding to the stinkpile.
But wondering which hack would be willing to ghostwrite it could be a good parlor game. |
