How To Write A Bestseller: GOP Spends $95,000 Buying Donald Trump Jr. Book
Trump Jr. book boost is listed in latest campaign finance documents filed by the Republican National Committee.


“Triggered,” the book published early this month by Donald Trump Jr., rocketed to the top of The New York Times bestseller list. But it turned out it had a special boost: The Republican National Committee spent $95,000 buying up the books, according to a campaign finance listing spotted by The New York Times.

Records from the Federal Election Commission reveal a $94,800 payment to BooksAMillion.com for “donor mementos” just days before Trump Jr.’s book was released on Nov. 5.

5. A lot of people do this

It’s not unprecedented. I once attended a seminar by T Harv Eker and he had a book out. They had tons of copies at the seminar and at one point started promoting it tied to discounts for other seminars. Buy 5 copies and get 50% off for a retreat. Buy 10 copies and get xx% off another course etc.
