The memoir, “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir,” accuses President Donald Trump of asking Chinese President Xi Jinping for help to win his reelection bid in 2020. The book is also highly critical of Trump’s foreign policy decisions
Trump attempted to block the release of the book due to national security violations, but it hit the stores anyway on June 23.
Simon & Schuster said the book sales included those that were ordered but haven’t been shipped yet. The publisher said it ordered additional hardcover copies that will push its total sales to a million.
“We expect it to be at the top of the bestseller lists in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, as well as in the United States,” said Jonathan Karp, Simon & Schuster’s chief executive, in a statement. “The public clearly is fascinated with what Bolton has to say in this election year, and we expect the curiosity to continue.”
A federal judge denied a request to block the book’s publication in June, despite saying Bolton’s book probably “jeopardized national security.”
Bolton’s book sure beat Donald Trump’s book Triggered in sales even with the GOP buying Triggered in bulk.
Mary Trump’s book will outsell Bolton’s.
Trump has been great for the publishing industry. It’s a shame that he lacks the ability to read any of the many books about his Presidency.
I am so disappointed in Bolton. I was a huge fan of his when he was the Ambassador to the UN, and was thrilled when President Trump picked him to head the NSA. But when he went public against Trump; and subsequently when his greed & avarice showed what he really was; someone whose ego & stupidity caused him to put a knife in someone who trusted him, & to ally himself with the clueless Democrats who wish to destroy the United States (as well as Israel), I finally understand how “kessef” & “kuvid” can blind & destroy a person.
Trump by doing a pro-israel policy has blinded Jews in particular to his lack of statesmanship and ability to,govern. He is a billionaire ignoramus
