Its Amazon ranking positions it as the 3,349th best-selling book on the site

For a person who fancies herself a high profile celebrity politician, I’m sure that’s abysmal. But damned if I wouldn’t be thrilled if my self-published book sold that highly when I released it. Alas…

Mein Kampf (the illustrated version)? The Turner Diaries? The Art of Deal? All books “written” by and for fascists.

Didn’t anyone tell her she’s supposed to buy several storage units of books to get those numbers up?

It’s not just because she’s a fascist. It’s because she’s a fascist who is so toxic she’s alienated most of the other fascists. The few who remain aren’t the kind of people you’re likely to meet at a library unless they’re there to burn it down.

One of the minor benefits of my job is having access to Bookscan. If someone reminds me in a week or two I’ll look it up (sales are reported weekly, not moment-by-moment like Amazon).

The Georgia Republican’s description of how Democrats behaved on Jan. 6, 2021, in her new book “MTG” were branded “patently false.”

So does Amazon list it under “fiction”?

I saw the published in Canada, what makes that interesting is the publishing company is Don Jr. Why aren’t their supporters angry about not doing the America first thingy?

She’s was also crying censorship because Hudson Books won’t put it in their stores.
