ABC’s Jonathan Karl calls Trump America’s ‘biggest loser’
November 01, 2023 03:25 PM
ABC’s Jonathan Karl has cashed in twice with books critical about former President Donald Trump, so it probably isn’t a big surprise that he’s going to the bank again in a hoped-for third payday.
His team is starting to promote Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party, due out Nov. 15, in an email campaign to boost pre-release sales.

“I believe it is the most important work I have ever done,” he said in a PR email that included an obligatory “good” review from a liberal historian.
It may be hard to top his past two books that bashed Trump, including his second that appeared to stick a fork in the 45th president. His Betrayal was subtitled “The Final Act of the Trump Show.”
Turns out, it wasn’t.
So, in Tired of Winning, the liberal reporter reiterates how poorly he views Trump. Referring to a few but significant candidates the former president endorsed in the midterm elections who lost, Karl wrote, “He’s the biggest loser in the history of American politics.”
A pollster who saw that line in the book introduction smirked, “Didn’t he beat Hillary” Clinton?
While some top insiders have said they’ve never seen Trump as focused and on message as he is with the 2024 presidential bid, Karl said Trump has become crazed with winning and threatens to take the Republican Party down with him on Election Day.

“As I began reporting for the book, I thought I would be chronicling the demise of a disgraced former president. As I learned of the bizarre, in some cases frightening, details of the dark days in Mar-a-Lago that followed Trump’s exit from the White House, something unexpected happened: He became the clear front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination,” his email said.
“There are many reasons Trump is closer than ever to recapturing the White House. Two of the simplest and most important are these: 1) All too many people have forgotten what his presidency was really like; and 2) Few people realize how much more unhinged and unrestrained he has become since leaving the White House,” it added.
