Trump cheated on his SAT by paying someone to take it for him, according to Mary Trum

That means nothing. It's as meaningless as "best seller." That's because of how this is measured. "Best sellers" are measured by the number of volumes shipped to vendors, not the number of books actually sold to end buyers. So, a "best seller" is a book that is printed and distributed in large number. If this book fails to make large sales volume, that's on the retail vendor who is given a discount on the buy and can put remaining volumes on a "bargain" table or whatever and try to sell them for a fraction of the full price often at cost just to get rid of them.

Do you think Dr. Trump won't make any money from this book? It appears she could break even and still be happy.

I think you're a tad jealous. It's okay.

My wife does too. I grumbled "Library" but would be satisfied with "used-good condition" on Amazon...which is exactly how I buy my books and audiobooks.

Good for you. I do the same with various online bookstores or else read them on kindle, save a tree!

She will. She has a contract with the publisher. The publisher will make money because they have contracts with distributors that require so many volumes to be bought or consigned to them. Retailers are the ones that get screwed. The distributors force down their inventory on them. The saving grace is the retailer is allowed to get rid of their inventory at cost pretty quickly after the book proves unsellable.

Unfortunately true, but this is the first time a President had sold it to our enemies. It was bad enough when the Clintons were renting out the White House to supporters but selling out to the fucking Russians? WTFO??

"TRUMP....TRUMP....TRUMP....."

Just more evidence that you're the queen, or I am, or maybe it's Phan's week?

Share the crown, we're liberal.

I'm just realistic. That's how the publishing business goes. I know several people with contracts with publishers, for example this guy:



I know how the business end of books generally works.

President Donald Trump cheated on his SAT, according to a forthcoming book by his niece.

Mary Trump wrote in her tell-all book, set to be published next week, that Trump paid a proxy to take the SAT for him

It's #2 on that Amazon page you linked. I'm eager to read that one also.

He just said teaching is the most important profession in this country but you'll probably find a way to slam him anyway.

“You are, and I’m not joking about this, you are the most important profession in the United States,” Biden said. “You are the ones that … give these kids wings. You give them confidence. You let them believe in themselves. You equip them. And I promise you, you will never find in American history a president who is more teacher-centric and more supportive of teachers than me.”

He's right But then, all presidents support teachers/education.... Doesn't everyone?

I know. I was being sarcastic on behalf of TOP.

Oh okay. If you say so. The book is going to be a raging success. Do you even know how many people who don't support Trump?
