6. Some of those would have sold better if they told the truth but they were just cash in books.

But they were personality "I was there, look where I was" books. MAGAts buy lots of merch but they don't read a hell of a lot. Their books that do sell are about evil Dems, especially scandalous Hillary. Maybe they should try a cookbook on Trump snacks. That might sell.

Can't help wondering, did people in the publishing world pitch these books to these MAGAt hangers on or did they actually think they were writing something for the ages?
