Your Pre-Election Reading List



The next two months will see the release of a slew of "tell all" books on Donald Trump, Trump's administration, a panoply of alleged crimes and grifting, and the Trump clan including Melania, Ivanka, Uday and Qusay.

The most recent books came from John Bolton and Trump's niece, Mary. Niece Mary has gilded the lily by releasing to the Washington Post recordings of her conversations with Trump's sister, retired federal court judge, Maryanne, who seems to think 45 is a real piece of shit.
Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former friend and adviser, “taped the first lady” and plans to share the remarks in her book. 
They include “harsh comments about Ivanka Trump, the president’s elder daughter and a senior adviser”, Ali wrote.
Wolkoff has an axe to grind with her former long-time friend, Melania, who recruited Wolkoff to organize the inauguration. Scads of money went missing, fingers were pointed at Wolkoff and Melania, who supposedly knew the truth, never came to her friend's defence.  Wolkoff is said to have tapes of Melania saying what she really thinks of Trump and his daughter/bride, Ivanka.  Revenge - cold - served.  "Melania and Me" is out next week.

September will also see the release of former Trump fixer, Michael Cohen's, tell all, "Disloyal - a Memoir." Cohen says he'll reveal where all the bodies are buried.  That should sell well to those with an insatiable appetite for the dirt on Dirty Don.

Bob Woodward is releasing his book "Rage" that examines correspondence between Trump and Kim Jung Un.  This follows Woodward's 2018 best seller, "Fear: Trump in the White House."
According to multiple sources, the book has explosive accounts of Trump's thoughts and actions on national security, the coronavirus pandemic, the economic collapse and the Black Lives Matter protests.
Low on the radar but another potential bombshell is a book by Mueller attack dog, Andrew Weissmann, the prosecutor that Team Trump so feared that the positively squealed. That could be the sleeper in all of these books.

Former Trump national security adviser, Gen. H.R. McMaster is releasing his memoir of his days (weeks, months?) in the administration.

There was a time when each and every one of these scandals provoked predictions of the imminent demise of the Orange-One.

Now we know these are 'fake news' to the tRump loyalists and entertaining fodder for the rest. Meanwhile, the Biden/Harris-Dems have nothing, really, to offer besides a return to the status-quo that brought on the current malaise.

Redoing the failures of 2016 - what could go wrong?

This stuff could compete with a Royal scandal. All they need is paparazzi.

Scandals only encourage the Republicans.
They gather around scandal as flies do to poop.

Trump's base has achieved a degree of 'herd immunity' to this stuff
