Trump Making Millions from Coffee Table Book

Trump Making Millions from Coffee Table Book

"SNIP.......

CNN: “There wasn’t the huge fanfare most former presidents receive when they ink deals for a memoir; news of the book, a coffee table tome with pictures detailing Trump’s presidency — retailing about $75 and $230 if signed — made barely a blip in the media. But the deal, which CNN can confirm included a multimillion dollar advance for Trump, has quickly and significantly plumped the pockets of the former President.”

“Sales of the book, Our Journey Together, grossed $20 million in less than two months since it went on sale in late November… Part of the book’s popularity among Trump’s base is the captions, all of which he wrote himself, and most of which feature unbridled hot takes on his political enemies.”

Who believes this now that we know who published it? do they really have that kind of money? do they really expect that many sales of this book?

Less obnoxious to the rest of us than a flag or a shirt, which would get displayed in public.

8. Years and years ago, Jethro Tull put out the "Stand Up" album

Open the album and the band members popped up like in a children's pop-up book.

Any book "read" by a MAGAt would be in the same vein.

He farmed it out, to Roger Stone, Eric Trump, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and a team of social media insulters in Russia.

TFG wouldn't even have time to read all that, much less write it.

Nice that he found people willing to pay good money for this nonsense.
