Trump vetoes tell-all

PRESIDENT Trump’s onetime mistress and ex-wife Marla Maples was set to publish a memoir about their relationship, but the project got shelved just before the election. The book, “It’s About Time,” which was set to be published by Judith Regan, was sunk by various problems — mainly Trump himself — we’re told. A publishing industry source tells us that Trump put an abrupt end to the memoir when he declined to give his approval to the tome. Another bookworm says that an agreement that Maples — who famously said Trump was “the best sex I’ve ever had” — made as part of their divorce settlement meant that she couldn’t deliver a manuscript that was as juicy as the one she promised. We’re told Regan — who infamously attempted to print O.J. Simpson’s “If I Did It” memoir — bought the book for her Regan Arts imprint while Trump was campaigning. After Maples and a ghostwriter cranked out some chapters, lawyers became concerned the notoriously litigious president-to-be would sue — and wouldn’t sign off unless Maples secured approval from her former husband. Predictably, the Donald declined to sign on the dotted line. Meanwhile, we’re told that her publishers became increasingly frustrated when Maples’ draft — which was supposed to cover her 1989 affair with the real-estate magnate, their 6-year marriage and birth of their daughter, Tiffany — became sanitized because of the nondisclosure agreement Maples signed when she and Trump divorced in 1999 (alas, no details about their sex life). Now insiders say the project is permanently on ice. This is the second time Maples has tried, and failed, to tell her story. Harper-Collins commissioned “All That Glitters Is Not Gold” in 2000, while Regan was head of the company. That never made it to bookstores either. Reps for Maples and Trump didn’t get back to us and Regan Arts declined to comment.
