CNN: “At the time of the Tuesday morning tweet, Team of Vipers was No. 12 on Amazon’s best selling books list. The rankings are updated every hour. Vipers has been moving up the list ever since, and as of Tuesday afternoon, it stands at No. 6.”

“Of course, it’s impossible to know how much of the sales momentum is due to Trump, and how much is due to other factors like Sims’ TV appearances… But Trump’s post triggered a brand new news cycle about Sims’ depictions of a distracted president and a distrustful inner circle of aides.”

1. I made that observation when he first put out that tweet

6. Doesn't he realize he is helping book sales with these tweets?

2. Just like what happened to the Satanic Verses and The Last Temptation of Christ

The old saying that there is no such thing as bad publicity is somewhat accurate. Protest something that would otherwise be obscure, and it becomes famous. People will want to see what the fuss is all about.

3. Yes, exactly

Though that impacted the author's life in a much more significant way, I would argue.

4. The more Trump hates it, the better it sells.

Love it!
