I blame the title. Why is he releasing a new book anyway?

What's $13.99 for a book of the future POTUS? Purchased the kindle edition.

It's quite good, actually. And he gets to go all over promoting it.

He needs to trivialize their talking points by capitalizing on the establishment media attacking him on misquoting famous figures. He should release an entire book of fake quotes from famous American politicians. I would buy that book. Why ? because in the famous words of Chris Christie, "I love bacon. bacon bacon bacon bacon."

It frankly doesn't matter if anyone reads it.

The press associated with announcing its publication will reach far more than would have ever read it (+ name recognition).

Nobody reads anymore anyway...cuts into baitin' time.

Well, he wrote this book for a certain demographic. Don't blame me for not buying it. It's just not for me.

 

[robskicks]

Bullshit stat. It has 92 reviews on Amazon alone.

 

[CrissyNY]

i bought it just to prove a point

Yeah it's crazy, but I think a lot of books get written for this very reason. It's not quite a book tour, but it gets people in front of publishing related interviews.
