Don Jr.'s book skyrocketed up the charts due in part to some people or groups buying up massive quantities of it
Photo: Amazon This month, First Boy Donald Trump Jr. published his first book Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us. In it, the noted political scientist bemoans the fact that, as the “son of a rich white guy living in 2019,” he is unable to voice his opinion — even though he has just had 287 pages of his opinion published by Hachette’s imprint Center Street.
On the Times’ list, next to the title, was a small dagger, meant to indicate that some retailers reported receiving bulk orders of the item. In other words, the book had skyrocketed up the charts due in part to some people or groups buying up massive quantities of it. Earlier this month, AP White House reporter Zeke Miller noted that the Republican National Committee was giving out copies of Trump Jr.’s book to donors, adding, “This is a tactic that helps boost reported sales.”
Did the RNC artificially boost Triggered’s sales numbers by bulk-ordering copies? They deny it. In a statement to “Page Six,” an RNC representative said: “We haven’t made a large bulk purchase, but are ordering copies to keep up with demand.” The self-described son also probably boosted his sales numbers by yelling at the women of The View this week.Sources The Guardian Page Six
