Donald Trump Jr’s newly released book ‘Triggered’ has topped the New York Times and Amazon best sellers for this week, but in a move that will surely not go down well with the Trump camp, the New York times placed a dagger next to the book’s listing, indicating some of the sales for Don Jr.’s new book were ‘bulk’.
The dagger sign shows bulk sales of a book but doesn’t indicate how many books have been sold or who bought the books.
‘Triggered’ tops the hardcover nonfiction list on the New York Times list. It also currently ranks fourth on Amazon’s bestseller list and at number 44 in Barnes & Noble’s Top 100 list and the Trump family has been celebrating the achievement this week.
On Wednesday evening, Ivanka Trump and husband, Jared Kushner toasted Don Jr.’s bestseller best seller status during a Washington D.C event and Donald Trump tweeted in celebration of the book becoming a New York Times bestseller with Don Jr. tweeting that it was ‘the book liberals don’t want you to read, saying: ‘It would TRIGGER our haters coast to coast if we made the NYT list!’
The Republican party, through the Republican National Committee tweeted earlier this week an offer of a ‘hand-signed’ copy of the book to supporters who donate at least $50, a suggestion that the party was responsible for the bulk buying but party reps have dismissed that notion claiming that the book buys were on demand not as a single large purchase.
A representative of Don Jr. speaking about the ‘bulk buying’ claim, told DailyMail.com, the dagger on the listing was ‘ridiculous’, ‘silly’ and ‘another excuse to pick at him.’
”This books are massively outselling his closest rivals”, claiming the dagger is a ploy by the ‘Democrats and their friends in the media.’
‘Don sold more books in the last week than the number 2 and 3 nonfiction books on the New York Times list combined,’ the source said.
‘You could erase all of the books sold through the RNC [Republican National Committee] and that would still be a fact.
‘If Don’s book was only successful because of so-called “bulk buys” as Democrats and their friends in the media claim, how do they square that with the fact that he also topped Amazon’s non-fiction charts this past week for books currently available and held multiple book signings across the country that sold 1000+ books a piece.’
