Former President Donald Trump isn’t pleased with the excerpts that have been released from newly released and forthcoming books about his one-term in office that have exploded in the news, even though he allowed himself to be interviewed by the authors. And for sure, the twice-impeached one-term president has been reading them. More books will be coming out, and one of them concerns former Trump administration officials and top campaign aides, Politico reports.
“Fear is mounting, too, about the tea-spilling to come,” the outlet reports. “In particular, Trump officials are anxiously awaiting the books set to be published by actual colleagues, chief among them counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway and Jared Kushner, who plan to write their own accounts of the Trump presidency.”
“I think it’s fraught right now as to who is telling the truth,” a Trump adviser told the outlet. “They’re all trying to go back in time and curate their own images.”
And they should be concerned with Jared Kushner’s book since, according to a report, Ivanka and her husband rarely see the former president anymore. As Trump continues to spew election lies, the couple appears to be distancing themselves from him.

“Privately, former administration officials and top campaign aides have shared concerns about Conway’s upcoming tell-all in particular,” Politico reports. “The ex-president’s loyal former counselor is expected to give a hold-no-punches account of her time in the White House and those she worked alongside. Conway herself sat down with Trump for her book at Mar-a-Lago.”
According to an adviser, Trump, who is sensitive to how history will remember him, “said that I think if you can improve the book 3, 5, 10 percent [by participating], that matters.” But the publications have, instead, further muddied his reemergence on the political scene. After months of keeping a relatively low profile, the former president has hit the trail and done news interviews with friendly outlets in which he not only continued to falsely claim the election was stolen from him, but praised the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol at his encouragement on Jan. 6.
Trump doesn’t like reports or books that are critical of him, but he keeps doing outrageous things. Like, for example, according to The Daily Beast, Trump thinks he should have lowered the White House flag to half-staff after “innocent, wonderful, incredible woman” Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed when she tried to crawl through a broken window of the Capitol with a mob of Trump supporters.
As for Kellyanne, she’s probably concerned about her image after tying herself to the most toxic president in recent history.
