President Trump could ink a $100 million book deal when he leaves office

written by Ruben Jay

With all the major media networks calling the 2020 Presidential Election for Joe Biden, it looks like President Trump’s time in the White House could be coming to an end. If that were to happen, there are rumors that the President could see a book deal worth $100 Millions (over $30 million more than Michelle and Barack Obama’s book deal).

Should Trump not win his legal battle for the Office of President of the United States, there are rumors about Trump’s future. Page Six is reporting that Trump is being courted by right-wing TV outlets. book and TV deals are plan-B if he doesn’t win the vote war. Translate 70 million votes into viewers and record book sales. All the anti-Trump books have made big bucks, so this from the Donald is a surefire hit.”

One “book insider” claims that the reported numbers might be exaggerated. “One publisher to watch is Simon & Schuster,” the book insider told Page Six. “They published [Trump’s] last book. CEO Jonathan Karp published several of his books there, and at Random House, and went to Trump’s wedding to Melania.” (Trump’s most recent book, “Crippled America,” was put out via Simon & Schuster’s conservative Threshold Editions.) [Page Six].

The new Simon & Schuster publisher Dana Canedy told the New Yorker that she would be willing to publish a book from Trump. When asked Canedy says “Oh, he’s the President. Everyone who leaves the White House has one or more books in them and that becomes part of public history. I think that would be not only appropriate but important.”

Simon & Schuster has published books from Trump before and also has been the publisher for Hillary Clinton’s books as well as Bob Woodward, John Bolton, and Mary L. Trump’s book.

Joe Biden declared President-elect of the United States

written by Ruben Jay

Early Saturday morning it was announced that Joe Biden had secured 273 electoral votes winning him the Presidency of the United States. Joe Biden has been declared the President-elect, making Kamala Harris the first female Vice President-elect of the United States.

To be clear, Joe Biden is not the official President-elect as the nation awaits the Electoral College to officially vote on December 14th. If all things go the way Biden expects, he will be sworn in on January 20, 2021.

President Donald Trump issued a statement claiming fraud in the 2020 Election. The full statement from the President is below.

We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.

Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access.

So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.

Legal advisor to the President Jenna Ellis state that the election is not over in a statement to Daily Wire. “Media coordinated efforts are attempting to simply declare Joe Biden the president and ignore the rule of law. There is no official winner until every legal vote is counted accurately, the states certify results, and all legal challenges are resolved,” Ellis said.

The President made it clear that his campaign plans to litigate all allegations of fraud.

Trump refuses virtual debate; Biden opts to do a town hall

written by Ruben Jay

President Donald Trump called into Fox and Friends this morning and announced that he refused to do a virtual debate with Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Trump called the virtual debates a “non-starter” claiming that it would be easy for him to be cut off.

In a statement later in the day, the Trump campaign petitioned the Commission for Presidential Debates to move the next two debates by one week. The next debate is scheduled for October 15 and the Trump administration is asking for it to be done on October 22.

“As President Trump said, a virtual debate is a non-starter and would clearly be a gift to Biden because he would be relying on his teleprompter from his basement bunker,” said Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien. “Voters should have the opportunity to directly question Biden’s 47-year failed record of leadership. We agree that this should happen on October 22, and accordingly, the third debate should then be shifted back one week to October 29. The CPD and the media cannot hide Joe Biden forever. Americans deserve to hear directly from both presidential candidates on these dates, October 22 and 29.” (Source: The Hill).

The New York Post is now reporting that Joe Biden has opted to do a town hall on ABC. Biden will be taking questions from voters with George Stephanopoulos moderating.

The Commission for Presidential Debates have not cancelled the next debate and plans to send staff to Miami to set up for the debate in anticipation of the event happening.
