(Picture: Copyright 2021 The Associated Press. All rights reserved)No stranger to hyperbole, former president Donald Trump has teased that he’s working on a new writing project – one which he describes as “the book of all books”.
In a statement issued to the media, the Republican claimed he had recently turned down two potential book deals from “the most unlikely of publishers”.
“I do not want to do such a deal right now. I’m writing like crazy anyway, however, and when the time comes, you’ll see the book of all books. Actually, I’ve been working on a much more important project right now,” he wrote.
Trump already has his name attributed to several books, including the 1987 book Trump: The Art of the Deal, a bestseller ghostwritten by journalist Tony Schwarz which reached the top of the New York Times’ list after its release.
Talk of a new Trump book on the horizon has been met with ridicule by Twitter users, with comments ranging from those pretending to have seen a proof copy, to those questioning the ex-president’s writing ability:
trump is writing the “book of all books?”

When I heard about all of his writing, I had some operatives get a copy of the first chapter. Here it is for your reading pleasure: pic.twitter.com/ZDAMWlQrv8
He always appears to be barely literate, might require an exceptional editor 🤔

I’m told he turned them down because the editors refused to include a set of crayons with the books like he asked.

Yes. I'm sure he is a very good writer. His syntax and vocabulary are world class.

It’s not yet known what “important project” Trump is working on, but many would agree that we really don’t need any more words and rhetoric from the politician.
