Recently, it was announced that Joe Biden has secured a $10 million book deal for his memoir. When I first heard that, I think I had the same reaction many people did—can this really be serious? Is he writing a coloring book or something? I mean, honestly, the idea that Grandpa Joe might struggle to recall what he had for breakfast is, well, something many might agree with. But let’s be real: who genuinely believes he can write anything beyond a thank-you note?
Writing a book isn’t easy. It’s tough, can be kind of draining, and definitely requires a lot of mental effort. Just to clarify, if Joe Biden manages to produce a book, I might as well be the Dalai Lama myself.
Inside the book, there are concerns from Biden’s close associates about potential struggles during debates.
Honestly, it’s not shocking to see former presidents teaming up with celebrities, and, well, many of them are opting for ghostwriters. But it seems like the spirit of literary greats like William Faulkner couldn’t really inspire anything profound from Joe.
It’s worth noting that just this month, Biden barely scraped through a 10-minute interview with the New York Times. At that pace, a book could take a century to finish—especially with his son Hunter possibly stepping in with some illustrations.
Let’s be clear—Biden likely won’t be the one penning this fantastic piece of work. It’s probably going to be crafted by those who’ve left their mark on the infamous White House autopen.
This guy makes Jimmy Carter look like a Cicero. This book might be your last shot at regaining Scranton Joe’s lost respect.
Biden’s inner circle—like Ron Crane, Anthony Bernal, and Susan Rice—has been behind him and his wife Jill for years, showing themselves to be the real power players. But, apparently, that’s not the narrative he’ll weave in his memoir.
In a way, Biden’s memoir could turn out to be a moment of reckoning. When asked about Biden’s decline, various insiders have tipped their hats to the Fifth Amendment.
So even if Biden doesn’t have a lot of insights in this memoir, it could serve as an essential document, especially considering Hunter Biden’s recent revelations that might influence the story.
A recent podcast episode had an intense, somewhat chaotic vibe, reminiscent of auditions for a play, featuring Biden’s son, who has quite the colorful background as a painter and former executive in Ukraine.
“James Kerrville hadn’t raced in 40 years, and David Axelrod, well, his big claim to fame is Barack Obama.
If Biden’s book manages to be anything like this chaotic tale, it just might become a bestseller. The Democrats are in quite a turmoil these days, yet Hunter seems to be thriving, despite rumors about their family dynamics.
Democrats likely understand that Biden’s antics don’t easily quell the uproar. Though Joe seems to believe he’s dining with Margaret Thatcher sometime soon, those close to him are likely more aware of where all the secrets lie.
For Joe, this book deal is significant—a cool $10 million capstone to a long career in public service. Depending on how things unfold, this could mean a lot more for those sticking by him.

Biden’s reputation in the realm of American politics is at a pretty low point. Indeed, he makes Jimmy Carter look like an orator of note. This memoir could very well be his last opportunity to restore some dignity to his identity as Scranton Joe.
So, for those tasked with crafting this book, a piece of advice: do Americans— and Joe Biden—a favor and be honest. We can handle the truth, and honestly, things are already looking quite grim.
Biden can’t undo the detrimental impacts of his presidency—rising inflation, border issues, and foreign policy blunders—but those putting together this memoir have a chance to clarify the record.
Let’s hope they take it seriously.
