A Capitol riot. A porn star payoff. Nuclear secrets stacked over a golden toilet. This is the archive they hoped you'd never read.
The Trump Files: 17 Scandals They Tried to Erase is a stripped, sharp, and visually haunting record of the Trump presidency - told across 72 pages of classified-style satire, insider narration, and cutting-edge AI-generated visuals. Created by an anonymous political insider writing under the pseudonym John Doe, this book is designed to feel like a leaked evidence dump: one scandal per spread, one unredacted memory at a time.
Each of the 17 scandals is grounded in public record, reframed with deadpan humor, and paired with a surreal AI image - the kind no photojournalist ever captured, but everyone can picture. From bathroom-stashed nukes to Bible-wielding photo ops, every chapter uses verified facts and darkly comic presentation to expose what the news cycle couldn't contain - and what the public was pressured to forget.
This is not journalism. It's political memory insurance.

The Trump Files is not a partisan takedown. It's a resistance to forgetting - a way to hold power accountable when shame no longer works. Every page is a refusal to look away. Every image is a memory trap.
The Trump Files is a classified hallucination in paperback form.
A memory vault for a nation trying to forget.
The book Trump's lawyers hoped would never print.
