Melania Trump is releasing a book this fall about her life.
It’s coming from Skyhorse Publishing, a publisher controversial for printing books by a cadre of notorious people who can’t find regular publishers. A number of Trump adjacent people are among them
Melania says the book will be about her life, but this might be a mistake before the election. A lot of people who know her real story, not the alternative facts, will be at the ready to leap into the press with their notes. Among them would be Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who was Melania’s press person at the White House and published her own book after leaving.
Wolkoff is probably already fact checking the book. Others will be, too.
It’s not known from the press release who Melania’s ghostwriter will be. It could be Meredith McIver, the ghostwriter who helped Trump plagiarize a Michelle Obama speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention. McIver hasn’t been heard from in years. But she still works for whatever is left of the Trump Organization.
Trump’s book will immediately be scrutinized for accounts of her upbringing in Slovenia, her modeling career there and in New York, her early life with Trump, and their marriage. Will she explain why we’ve never heard her 18 year old son’s voice? Why he wasn’t at this year’s RNC, or where he’s going to college?
Foremost, will Melania address Trump’s legal situations? That Stormy Daniels, an adult sex star, won hundreds of millions of dollars from a court after she claimed Trump slept with her while Melania was pregnant? That a New York judge gave a court victory and more millions to E. Jean Carroll, who said Trump raped her? Will she write about ripping up the Rose Garden? Or her failed Be Best campaign?
“Melania” will no doubt be a book with a lot of publicity that no will actually buy. I can’t wait!
