Greasy Don's Suspicious Book Sales


Greasy Donald Trump Jr. has a book out (abbrieviated title "Triggered") whining about the nasty libs that are exposing his daddy's and his family's constant criminality. It's climbed the New York Times' best seller  list, but with an important caveat: it's relying on bulk sales to boost its position. The Associated Press reported last week that the little dagger symbol by the Times' ranking is the tip off:
"A dagger symbol appears next to the listing, indicating that some of the sales were 'bulk purchases,' often meaning that the author or someone associated with the author bought a substantial number of copies. A spokesman for the Republican National Committee, Steve Guest, said Thursday that the RNC has been offering 'Triggered' as a fundraising incentive, a common practice for political books." (our emphasis)
 You can "sell" a lot of books when they're sold in bulk to sycophantic outfits like the RNC and others (we suspect the National Rifle Rampage Association is probably down for thousands, as well as the "evangelical" grift industry, and even the Russian Federation). They're buying in bulk and lining Greasy Don's pockets, hoping that the gullible Red Cap Cult will bail them out. It's a typical Trump-style scam: juice a defective product, get the money up front and scram before the rubes catch on.

Fantastic clap-back star Chrissy Teigen mocked Greasy Don's "bestseller" status:

We think a true bestseller will be about the Trump crime family's illegal dealings and eventual imprisonment. No need for bulk sales there.
