Hillary Clinton Delivers News Trump and Melania Won’t Like – “Thanks, Everyone!”: After selling everything from overpriced sneakers and Bibles to gimmicky NFTs, tacky trading cards, $100 silver coins with his face, and even gaudy $100K watches, Donald Trump is now pushing his wife, Melania, to sell her memoir in a desperate attempt to avoid financial collapse, as he faces $539 million in legal penalties....CONTINUE READING>>>
Melania Trump’s memoir, set for release on October 8, promises to share her “unique” perspective on her time in the White House, including the controversial removal of historic plants and trees from the Rose Garden, which had been designed by Jacqueline Kennedy in the 1960s. Continue Reading>>>
While this might generate some buzz, what’s truly laughable is Trump’s earlier claim that her book is the #1 bestseller in the U.S. However, outside of Amazon’s list, where it does hold the top spot, Melania’s book is nowhere to be found on major lists like USA Today and The New York Times, where competition is fierce even for well-established authors. The absence of her book on these lists debunks Trump’s boastful claim, turning it into an embarrassing exaggeration.
At the same time, Hillary Clinton, Trump’s longtime rival, took to Twitter to provide an update on the status of her own book, perhaps adding a deliberate sting to Trump’s misfire.
The timing of Hillary Clinton’s tweet could be seen as coincidental, or for those with a more conspiratorial mindset, a subtle reminder of her real win in the 2016 popular vote, where she outpaced Trump by nearly 2.9 million votes. That margin might now reflect itself in book sales. Clinton’s latest book, Something Lost, Something Gained, offers a deep dive into her personal and political journey, covering her return to academia, her experiences as a former First Lady, and her ongoing activism for women’s rights and democracy.
It raises the question of whether the public prefers insights from a seasoned political figure over a ghostwritten memoir linked to controversies involving figures like Jeffrey Epstein and O.J. Simpson. The steady rise in Clinton’s book sales may be a reminder Trump and Melania didn’t want, as it suggests Hillary may once again have the upper hand—especially given her past legal victory over Trump, which saddled him with a $938,000 tab.
Trump’s boastful claims about Melania’s memoir might be better left unsaid. Time and again, his arrogance seems to backfire, showing that wisdom isn’t exactly his strong suit, despite his insistence on his “MIT genes” and mastery of, well, everything.
