The man who couldn't sign his own pardons just announced he wrote a book.
And now he wants you to buy it.
But Congress already proved someone else was running his White House – and Democrats timed this book to land after the midterms so Biden disappears from the news until they need him gone again.
The Autopen President Wants Credit for His Presidency
Joe Biden's memoir, Promise Me, America, drops November 17 – two weeks after midterm elections Democrats are praying he doesn't torpedo.
The timing tells you everything about how Democrats actually feel about Joe Biden.
They didn't schedule this release to celebrate him.
They scheduled it to contain him.
Push the book past Election Day, keep the man who lost America's trust off the front pages, and hope voters forget what four years of the autopen presidency actually looked like.

Rep. Jason Smith of Missouri said what every conservative was thinking the moment Biden made his announcement.
"Did the autopen write this too," Smith posted.
Clay Travis at Outkick piled on. Biden couldn't sign his own pardons, Travis noted, and Democrats forced the book past the midterms specifically so Biden wouldn't remind voters how bad things were.
The House Oversight Committee spent months documenting exactly who was running the Biden White House – and it wasn't Joe Biden.
Fourteen Witnesses, One Damning Conclusion
Chairman James Comer's committee conducted 14 depositions and transcribed interviews with Biden's own senior aides.
What they found was worse than most people suspected.
Senior Biden staffers admitted his cognitive decline was real.
They confirmed aides kept him away from unscripted situations and any medical evaluation that might force a reckoning with his condition.
Political operative Anita Dunn personally interfered in medical decisions – blocking cognitive tests to protect his reelection chances.
The autopen story got worse from there.
On the night of January 19, 2025 – less than 14 hours before Biden left office – an email went out from Jeff Zients' account approving autopen use for five family pardons, including Biden's brother and sister.
Except Zients didn't write or send it.
His aide Rosa Po had access to his account and fired off the authorization herself.
Senior Biden aides later admitted they didn't even know who was operating the autopen for official presidential acts.
Comer sent referrals to the DOJ and the D.C. Board of Medicine.
Biden's own former aides, when subpoenaed, took the Fifth.
They took the Fifth rather than testify about who was running the country.
And this man wants you to buy his memoir about the decisions he made and why.
The Ghostwriter Tapes Are Still Coming
There's a reason Biden is fighting in court right now to keep audio recordings buried.
In 2016 and 2017 – years before his presidency – Biden sat for recorded interviews with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer.
Special Counsel Robert Hur obtained those tapes during his classified documents investigation.
Hur described Biden's performance in those sessions as "painfully slow."
Biden lost the thread on basic timelines, blanked on when key events happened, and couldn't recall personal details that required no effort to remember.

A federal court ruled in June that the public interest outweighs Biden's privacy claim.
Biden appealed.
Courts have paused release pending that appeal – but those tapes are coming.
Biden talked to a ghostwriter for years before his presidency and couldn't remember his own life.
His team knew it.
They ran him anyway, covered it up, and now he's announcing a book about the decisions he made.
That's not an irony.
That's a verdict.
