When Presidents leave office they generally write a lofty, intellectual book (or two or three)...

....about their experiences in office, how they saved the peace, helped humanity, etc.

Kennedy, Nixon, Carter, Clinton, et. al. each had one.

So the announcement this morning is that trump has published a book now, too.

Sorry for using the Washington Examiner and their propaganda (I won't even include the link here), but this is too funny! A freaking COFFEE TABLE BOOK! It's a PICTURE BOOK!!!!!!!!! Now he's in the same class as Cosmo Kramer.

Scoop: Surprise Trump book, 'Our Journey Together'

Former President Donald Trump today shocked the publishing world that has tried to cancel his administration by revealing that he is releasing his first post-White House book in December, titled Our Journey Together .

The huge book, printed in America, is a coffee table style collection of photographs that the former president selected himself. He even wrote the captions, offering praise and scorn where he felt it was needed.

As I understand it, it was the biggest in the history of the nation, or perhaps the world.

What an effort! What an accomplishment!

It's as impressive as when he showed off his signed name on various documents to the photographers.
