A Washington, D.C., bookstore reportedly sold out of copies of Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" minutes after its release.

Kramerbooks ran out of the book, which chronicles President Trump's first year in office, within 20 minutes of its midnight release, according to BuzzFeed News's Chris Geidner.

Photos and video of the DuPont Circle bookstore posted online in the early hours of Friday showed a packed house as dozens of eager readers stood in line to get a copy of the bombshell book.

"Fire and Fury" made headlines this week as excerpts surfaced in the news media ahead of its official release. Those excerpts painted a picture of a White House in chaos and sparked a feud between Trump and his former chief strategist, Breitbart News head Stephen Bannon, who is quoted speaking critically of the president and his family in the book.

1. What kickbacks is Bannon getting and when will the screenplay he is paying someone to write

about this madness be made into a movie?

2. He's a former sitcom writer

He will write his own script.

3. No sitcoms per IMDB, only documentaries filled with lies about liberals.

4. Okay, "fake news" from me

He was involved in syndicating Seinfeld and made a little money on the deal. I though he did something more than that. My bad.

5. I still dont know how he got involved in Seinfeld, proves my point there can NOT be

a god or karma.

6. Seems like he had something to do with financing syndication

And accepted royalties instead of an upfront payout.

7. More of my proof that our system of capitalism simply wont support most of us.

The problem is hard working people think they are capitalists, they are not.

A capitalist is someone who by definition does not work, makes profit off of money.

You and me will do the work, filth like Bannon will take the profits.

Nah, bullshit, wont work in the long run, eventually the people doing all the work will complain.

If the wall street/corporate model serves to benefit only 2% of us, and it does, why do the rest of us support it? I support any and all democrats and I do not support progressive candidates because most of them dont know what they are doing, so i dont want people to take my anti capitalism rants wrong as to REALITY, and the reality is we arent going to do what I suggest and so on.

9. The original capitalists risked their own money to build something

Today's capitalists are "rentiers," Adam Smith's term for people who earn money without work or risk. In his day, they were mostly members of the old nobility. Today, they are hedge fund managers and guys like Bannon.

8. Tons of people talked to Wolff. Are they all getting kickbacks?

What is your reasoning behind this conspiracy theory you have?
