I want to know who will be the first to come out with a book covering the second half of 2020. Who will it be and how soon will it come out. Because you know there will be a few people in Trump's sphere that will want to make a buck over their inside knowledge.
Edit: Well Mary will have one.
Mary Trump To Release Second Book After Debut Bestseller
After the knockout success of her first book about Donald Trump, the president’s niece, Mary Trump, is set to publish a second tome early next year, her publisher announced Tuesday, this time focusing on the impacts of Trump’s presidency.
“For four years, Donald Trump has inflicted a series of traumas upon the American people,” Trump said in the announcement, adding: “In short, he transformed our country into a macro version of my malignantly dysfunctional family.”
The book will focus on Trump’s presidency, including his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, according to the publishers, as well as the roots of “rising levels of rage and hatred, hopelessness and apathy” in the U.S.
The ‘Trump Bump’ for Books Has Been Significant. Can It Continue?
As a new administration looms, publishers have snapped up another crop of forthcoming Trump books by prominent journalists and pundits.
In the run-up to and aftermath of the election, publishers have snapped up a new crop of Trump books by prominent journalists and pundits. Penguin Random House has emerged as one of the front-runners in the race to lock up the first definitive accounts of the Trump epoch. Shortly after the election, Penguin Press announced that it would publish the New York Times reporter
Maggie Haberman’s narrative of Mr. Trump’s political career, tracking his rise from his real-estate development roots to the final days of his tumultuous presidency.
Penguin also acquired a new book from the Washington Post reporters Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig, the co-authors of
“A Very Stable Genius,” published early this year. Their sequel will explore the last year of Mr. Trump’s presidency, as he faced impeachment, played down the severity of the coronavirus pandemic, was hospitalized with Covid-19 and fought to overturn the results of the election. Doubleday, another Penguin Random House imprint, acquired a book that will be co-written by Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent for The New York Times, and Susan Glasser, a writer for The New Yorker, which will analyze how Trump has changed the culture and politics of Washington.
“The opportunity for book publishers was huge starting in 2016, and will be huge in 2020,” said Ann Godoff, Penguin’s president and editor in chief. “People say, ‘Well, there have been too many Trump books.’ I think you haven’t seen anything yet, and the reason for that is the sources are going to come loose; they’re going to be freer to talk.”
Simon & Schuster, which
published several best-selling books about Trump this year, is still investing heavily in behind-the-scenes books about the president and the 2020 election. After publishing two blockbusters by Bob Woodward,
“Rage” and
“Fear,” Simon & Schuster plans to release Woodward’s next book, which he is writing with the Washington Post reporter Robert Costa, about the final days of the Trump presidency and the beginning of President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s administration.
