![]() ![]() Those printings are in the works, but people ordering “Our Journey Together” now likely won’t see copies arrive until late February or early March, said Gor. “We still can’t keep up with the customers,” said Gor, who says they are now out of books and have issued requests for 300,000 more copies to be printed in three locations in the United States. Or at least that’s what the folks behind the book want us to think.ĬNN reported Monday that Our Journey Together has grossed $20 million since it went on sale in late November, according to “two people familiar with the publishing of the book.” Sergio Gor, the GOP operative who founded Winning Team Publishing last fall along with the ex-president’s son Donald Trump Jr., claims the book had an initial print run of 200,000 copies and is still selling like hotcakes: Wolff writes that the former New York mayor was “drinking heavily and in a constant state of excitation, often almost incoherent in his agitation and mania”.Donald Trump got some flak when his first postpresidential tome turned out to be a coffee-table book filled with photos rather than a proper memoir, but now he’s laughing all the way to the bank as the book is so popular it has sold out nationwide and signed copies are already a valuable collectible. Trump aide Jason Miller is portrayed as saying “Oh, shit” and alerting the president’s lawyer and chief cheerleader for his lie about electoral fraud, Rudy Giuliani. The White House, Wolff writes, soon realised Mike Pence had “concluded that he was not able to reject votes unilaterally or, in effect, to do anything else, beyond playing his ceremonial role, that the president might want him to do”.

Wolff says Trump was confused by “who these people were with their low-rent ‘trailer camp’ bearing and their ‘get-ups’, once joking that he should have invested in a chain of tattoo parlors and shaking his head about ‘the great unwashed’.” Trump is also reported to have expressed “puzzlement” about the supporters who broke into the Capitol in a riot which led to five deaths and Trump’s second impeachment, for inciting an insurrection. “I didn’t mean it literally,” Trump reportedly replied. “How would we do that? We can’t organize that. ![]() “You said you were going to march with them to the Capitol,” Meadows reportedly said. Wolff, one of a number of authors to have interviewed Trump since he left power, writes that the chief of staff then approached Trump, who seemed unsure what Meadows was talking about. There’s no way we are going to the Capitol.” Trump spoke to supporters outside the White House, telling them: “We’re going to walk down – and I’ll be there with you.”Īccording to Wolff, the chief of staff, Mark Meadows, was reportedly approached by concerned Secret Service agents, who he told: “No. On 6 January, Congress met to confirm results of an election Trump lost conclusively to Joe Biden. Wolff’s third Trump book is among a slew due this summer. A sequel, Siege, also contained bombshells but fared less well. Wolff’s first Trump book, Fire and Fury, blew up a news cycle and created a whole new genre of salacious political books in January 2018, when the Guardian revealed news of its contents.
