The book sure triggered you first, didn't it?

Instead of making an asinine assertion, why don't you look it up, IF you know how!

We're not triggered. Actually, we're laughing and curious as to what the RNC is going to do with the 100,000 copies they bought, and whether Donnie Diaper is ever going to read it.

No, you are not TRIGGERED at all.

How many sold copies does it take to top the Time's best-seller list? 5,000.
The RNC bought 95,000 in bulk.

Of course, this isn't the first time bulk purchase has shot a book to the top of the Times' list. It's happened before, several times, in both the fiction and non-fiction Best Seller categories. Bulk purchases are easily discovered, as a normal best-seller has a predictable process it goes through from the publisher to the readers.

The Times makes a note on it's list of the books that have been bulk purchased. It's a symbol, similar to the * mark baseball uses as to qualify a player's record is in dispute. Triggered has this mark. The Trumps didn't like that at all, and neither did the RNC.

This purchase is likely to be the only one for the book, so as I said before, let's just wait and see. If it is a real-deal best seller, the book will drop from the #1 spot but will remain on the top 10, where it will go up and down for a while.

Any book on the Top 10 that lasts for more than 6 weeks- around a month or more- is an actual best-seller, where individual readers seek out and purchase the book.

The really popular books on the Top 10 aren't often #1. When a book reaches #3 or #4 and stays there for months, that's a much bigger book. Some non-fiction remains on the Top 10 for years.

Hmmm...nice to see he is doing is part to bring our country together and stop all the division and partisan hate flying around. RNC too.

Not a good look.
It's a classic maneuver to move campaign funds to personal bank accounts. The books are incidental.

Nice evasive action, there.

Kinda sad, isn't it? Daddy's little girl and Jared at least managed to use their connections to get out of a 1.2bn mortgage that was about to go really sour, Don Jr. seems to make a bit of cash from book royalties. What does Eric get? - left-over hamberders from White House functions?
