    Default Trump Campaign Bought Truckloads Of Donald Jr.’s Book To Make It A Bestseller

    Donald Trump congratulated his son Don, Jr. this week for having his new book “Triggered” make it to the top of the New York Times Bestseller List. But what Trump didn’t mention is that his campaign bought up tons of copies of the book in order to pad those sales and make it look like a bestseller. The New York Times noted that a large portion of the sales came from “bulk orders” and not individual buyers..

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    You've never heard of bookstores buying in bulk to maintain inventory?

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    It's also apparent that the books sold out at signings. HA!!

    Religious groups and anyone else are free to buy any book they want.

    Don Jr.’s book is the number one best selling book.

    It chaps the far left loons.

    Good.

    So then they have to fabricate fairy tales to soothe their butthurt. You'll notice Owl, aka, "Commiebuns", didn't provide any actual evidence that any bulk purchases were made by the Trump campaign.

    Sales are sales and Don Jr.’s book sold.

    I think Trump sees the US Presidency as a gravy train to deliver a cash infusion because the cupboards are bare,
    as will be made clear in his tax returns.

    How so, Mujer de Buho?

    There has as been no evidence posted of bulk book sales.

    Sales are sales and his book is the best selling book.

    I remember that about one of Palin's books too. I bet little Donnie's screed won't do as well as Mrs. Obama's. lol

    "Michelle Obama’s memoir, “Becoming,” has received worldwide praise and it was the best-selling hardcover book of 2018. Now, it has a new accolade: It’s almost better than sex.

    “Becoming” has been the No. 1 most sold book on Amazon across all formats for 47 days, according to data provided to CNBC Make It from Amazon Charts, which is the longest top best-seller streak since a very different kind of book topped the charts in 2012 — erotic romance “Fifty Shades of Grey.”"
