President Trump has written multiple books about his life and philosophy. Former first lady Michelle Obama is the author of a best-selling memoir. So what about some thoughts from first lady Melania Trump?
Mrs. Trump is currently in “meetings” to discuss a potential book deal according to a report released Sunday by the New York Post.
“Melania is in meetings to write her White House memoir. And it would be her money — a chance for her to earn on her own,” an unnamed source told the news organization.
“I’m told her husband is encouraging her. She’s not done, or going as quietly as you might expect.” the source continued, noting that a memoir by Mrs. Trump “could be worth big money.”
That could be true. Mrs. Obama’s 2018 memoir “Becoming” sold a record-breaking 14 million copies. With former President Barack Obama, she received a $65 million advance from publishing giant Crown Books.
But there’s more than money at stake here.
“A book from Melania could set the record straight on some of her notable White House episodes — from that infamous ’I really don’t care, do u?’ jacket that she wore in 2018 to enduring a coronavirus infection,” the Post said.
The news of Mrs. Trump’s possible memoir has already gone global in the meantime, picked up The Daily Mail, International Business Times and Vanity Fair.
