Mary Trump’s scathing takedown of her uncle, the president of the United States, sold more books in a single week than Donald Trump’s “Art of the Deal” sold in 29 years, according to sales stats.

“Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man” sold an estimated 1.35 million copies its first week, per a statement from publisher Simon & Schuster. The tell-all also debuted at the top of bestseller lists in the U.S., Canada, Britain and Ireland.

“The Art of the Deal” sold an estimated 1.1 million copies from 1987 to 2016, CBS News reported.

“Mary Trump’s memoir has transcended the usual ceiling for political books to reach a larger audience of people who want to read stories about unusual families,” Simon & Schuster CEO Jonathan Karp said in the statement. He also noted that comparisons have been made to “The Godfather,” the novel by Mario Puzo about the rise of the mob in America.

1. A little instant karma.

Well done, Mary Trump.

2. Yay!

Also, she wrote it herself and Tramp's book was ghost written, so to speak. He couldn't get through a paragraph by himself.

The next sequel to his book should be: The Art of the Steal: How I Pulled Off a Confidence Game on America. I am sure somebody would love to write it for him.

Also, I like: American Dictator: Memoirs of a Rogue President, (My Struggle). He could interview with his ghost writer from prison.

18. LOL.."The Art of the Steal: How I Pulled Off a Confidence Game on America"

[gratuitous]

3. Someone should mention that to Donald

We know he's all about ratings and sales as the measure of what something's worth. "Sir, (he likes it when people call him sir) can you tell us how proud you are of your niece? She's sold more copies of her new book in one week than your book sold in 29 years!"

He'd probably call the reporter "nasty."

16. I'd like to be a fly on the wall when they tell him that.

I would really enjoy watching him steam, then explode.

[mnmoderatedem]

4. plus she wrote it herself

donald likely has never read a book, let alone written one

[luvtheGWN]

20. And it's extremely well written.

I hope she makes the fortune that her family (mainly mean old Unca Donnie) cheated her out of. (Sorry, I ended that with a preposition. My bad.)

If he can in any way profit from your death, he’ll facilitate it, and then he’ll ignore the fact that you died.

7. II hope Cohen's book gives the intimate details of the sausage making of the Trump crime family nt

[Manifestor_of_Light]

9. Cohen reminds me of John Dean. (Yeah I'm old)

Namely, the only guy in that gang of crooks to show evidence of a conscience and actual remorse and regret at his wrongs. I think there's hope for Michael Cohen, but not for the rest of them. They were Masters of the Universe and thought they were bulletproof.

8. To be fair...

I don't think uncle Donald's audience reads much...

[Cha]

10. I hope the Fascistrump is able to comprehend that.

[UTUSN]

11. K&R for, that'll *smart*!1

[KT2000]

12. Oooh - that has to burn!

[chriscan64]

13. There isn't going to be a movie.

But Trump doesn't need to know that. Tell him the movie deal is huuuuge and Mary gets part of the gross.

[Mr.Bill]

17. Tell him Gary Busey will play him in the movie.

[chriscan64]

24. OK, now there has to be a movie.

Can you imagine Gary Bussey playing Trump as a little kid wearing a tiny 1950's cowboy outfit getting mashed potatoes dumped on his head?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

14. And that's got to bug the dotard big time

[Initech]

26. If there's one take away from this, it's that Trump supporters don't read.

[Jim__]

15. That's great!

[Illumination]

19. Well done Mary! You rock!

[Flaleftist]

21. lol

[Wounded Bear]

22. Wait, whut? I thought Trump sold more copies than the Bible...

[Jarqui]

23. At 10% of sales, in the first week, she made at least $2 million

that week - probably way more than the Donald.

Her royalties deal was probably higher than that.

[Initech]

25. ...

[Brother Buzz]

27. I guess they don't count all the bulk buys the orange anus made to pump it up the best seller list

I understand his has a warehouse in New Jersey packed to the rafters with his books

[Unrepentant Fenian]

28. rump will issue a statement along the lines of ...

FAKE NEWS! There's no way she's my niece! I never met her mother, I never had sex with her mother and that's why I had to tell her mother "You're fired". Then I gave her mother $130,000 because she was a single mom. It was then, she begged me to let her sign a Non Disclosure Agreement. I allowed her to sign it because I'm that "kind of guy". But I repeat I NEVER MET HER LIBERAL COMMIE MOTHER ! But, being fair, her jugs are as nice as Ivanka's and that's saying a lot!
