Former President Joe Biden landed a big book deal, but conservatives say it proves he’s out of touch with America. The potus inked a memoir with Hachette for around $10 million—half what Bill Clinton got and way less than Barack Obama’s $60 million payday. Biden claims he’s “working hard” to write it, but outlets wonder if he’ll finish it before his term becomes a distant memory.
Critics argue this paltry advance reflects Biden’s sinking reputation. His policies flopped: sky-high inflation, open borders, and messing up America’s standing abroad. Even fellow Democrats don’t trust him to set the record straight. Offwriting rumors swirl—some bet his troubled son Hunter or a ghostwriter will do the heavy lifting.
Biden’s publisher won’t admit details, but sources say the book might whitewash his failures. “Tell the truth!” conservatives demand, not revisionist history that skips border crises or losing Afghanistan. The deal feels like a last grab for cash before his political twilight.
This $10 million could fund Biden’s retirement, but it’s peanuts compared to other presidents’ deals. Obama and Michelle raked in $60 million for their books. Even Bush got $7 million—a slap in Biden’s face. Publishers seem to doubt he can sell copies like these leaders.
Biden’s diagnose with aggressive cancer adds urgency to the project. Writers need to work fast, but his declining health makes this daunting. Many doubt he’ll finish it before the ink dries on the contract.
Fox News hosts like Greg Gutfeld mocked the deal, calling it a “bad” payoff for a president who squandered trust. “Why shell out millions for a book nobody wants?” they ask. Unlike Trump, Biden can’t tap into a still-passionate base.
Conservatives say this book won’t save Biden’s legacy. His policies left America weaker, wages stagnant, and families in debt. “No amount of lying in a book can fix those failures,” critics scoff.
The deal proves Biden’s desperate to cling to relevance. While Obama and Clinton bask in fame (and money), Biden fights for scraps. His book might pad the president’s bank account, but it won’t change history.
