Former President Donald Trump, savoring the explosive sales of his first post-White House book, a coffee table photo album, has decided to write his Oval Office memoirs.
Donald Trump Jr., whose new company, Winning Team Publishing, sold 100,000 copies of the photo book, Our Journey Together, in its first week out, said a bigger memoir from his father “will be going on.” He added, “That takes a little bit more time.”
And, added a family adviser, like plans for a Trump presidential library and museum, it might not come until after the former president decides on a 2024 bid to regain the White House. All recent past presidents have written million-dollar memoirs.
What’s more, Don Jr. is also planning to publish his third book, and he and Winning Team President Sergio Gor are mapping plans to publish other conservative books that have been shunned by New York publishing houses. His first two, Triggered and Liberal Privilege, were hits.
“I think we can do a lot for those authors that they’re not going to get elsewhere. We’re going to give them the freedom that they need, the ability to get out there [and] not have to deal with the censorship that you see,” he added of the company he and Gor have been developing for nearly a year.
Trump Jr. and Gor said that they plan to act fast on books. As an example, Trump Jr. pointed to his father’s book of 300 photos and handwritten commentaries.
“And we were sitting there about six months ago or something with my father and looking at some old White House pictures, and he kept commenting on them. And I’m an insider, and I didn’t know the stories. So, we started doing more of it, and we came up with the idea, like, we have to put together a sort of picture book of the presidency showing all the successes, all of the things you never heard about in the media,” he said.
“So, we started kind of doing it just out of curiosity, and then, he started handwriting notes on the pictures,” before stopping. But he told his father, “No, just leave that. It’s awesome, some incredible commentary.”
The results? The $75 book had $1 million sales on the first day.
