Donald Trump can’t score a book deal, but two of his cronies have.
In recent days, Jared Kushner, who served as the senior advisor to his father-in-law, and Kayleigh McEnany, the president’s longest-lasting press secretary, have both announced that they’re writing books. Kushner struck a deal with Broadside Books, a conservative imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, and his memoir will be “the definitive, thorough recounting of the administration, and the truth about what happened behind closed doors.” Meanwhile, McEnany has “delivered” the manuscript for For Such a Time as This: My Faith Journey through the White House and Beyond, which “describes her path to the White House podium, bringing the reader behind the scenes in the world’s most powerful building and illuminating how faith got her through.” Here’s more:
From White House intern to White House press secretary, from production assistant to national television host, from Catholic all-girls high school to Harvard Law School, God has guided my path through uncharted territory. In For Such a Time as This, I will chronicle my journey to the White House and offer never-before-told anecdotes about what really happened within the Trump administration. You will experience some of the most high stakes moments in the West Wing right alongside me as I reveal how faith got me through.
The shared theme: the truth. Kushner’s memoir is about “what happened” during his four years as Trump’s yes man, while McEnany’s book adds a qualifier to tell “what really happened.” But as Lionel Hutz once reminded us, there are two different truths. Considering McEnany can’t even tell the truth about not lying, no one believes them.
No thanks I’ve had enough lies from these people to last a lifetime, and I’d buy a book with more? They never quit conning , do they? https://t.co/NZevkDipRT

Jared Kushner’s signed a deal for a WH memoir. The book will be called:

2) How I Fixed The Middle East Shut Up Haters
3) Ivanka, Me And Our Lawyers: A Love Story
4) Staring Into Space: A Full-Time Job
5) I’m The President Of Me pic.twitter.com/e5fEA8PkMe— Paul Rudnick (@PaulRudnickNY) June 16, 2021
Jared Kushner has landed a book deal to write about how he and Trump achieved peace in the Middle East right after Mexico paid for the final brick in the wall and Trump passed a terrific healthcare plan to replace Obamacare the week Covid disappeared in the heat like a miracle.

Kushner has begun working on the memoir of Trump Presidency.
Here, let me help.
Everything Trump touched died.
-The End
If he actually writes more, bookstores will need to place it in the fiction section under horror. #FreshVoicesRise https://t.co/nHYOros6HN

Jared Kushner seemingly did every job in the White House and none of them well. Of course he’s now turned that into a book deal.

I’m old enough to remember when Jared Kushner abandoned a national testing plan because it was “politically advantageous” to sit back and let people die in blue states.
I’m guessing there won’t be a chapter about that in his book.

Your lie-filled book won’t be read, it will be used as kindling.

If the publisher insists all lies be removed then that’ll probably only leave the author’s name and the book title. Could be the shortest book ever.
