A Trump Political Committee Bought $131,000 Worth Of Books. Four Days Later, Jared Kushner's Hit The Best-Seller List
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
One of Donald Trump's political committees spent $158,000 on books just weeks after the release of Jared Kushner's memoir.
"Breaking History: A White House Memoir" hit book shelves on Aug. 23. Two weeks later, the Save America Joint Fundraising Committee, which raises money for two Trump PACs, paid retailer Books-A-Million $131,000 for "collateral:books," according to a campaign filing made Saturday with the Federal Election Commission.
On Sept. 11, four days after that bulk purchase, Kushner's book appeared for the first time on the New York Times best sellers list.
On Sept. 22, Save America purchased another $27,000 worth of books. "Breaking History" spent five weeks on the best-seller list before falling off.
Spokespeople for Save America did not immediately respond to questions about whether the book purchases covered Kushner's memoir. But it seems likely that it did. Save America Joint Fundraising Committee is currently offering copies of Kusher's book in exchange for donations of $75 or more.
If there is an honest way to make a point, or a buck, this wildly corrupt family will find a way around it.
I wasn't aware that coloring books could make the best-seller list.
How braindead do you have to be to care what Jared Kushner thinks about anything?
You just have to be a Trumpette.
Just as braindead to think Hunter Biden's paintings are worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
“…to think Hunter Biden's paintings are worth hundreds of millions of dollars.”
Ah, capitalism…
Exactly, supply and demand, no one should assume cronyism just because the buyers names remain a secret. They just don't want to become vulnerable to art theft if their names and addresses were exposed.
Things are only worth the price you can convince someone to buy it for. I’m pretty sure the percentage of citizens who think Hunter Biden’s art is worth millions is as close as you can get to zero.
Just another lie by a Biden who expected them to sell for that amount.
Hmmm....kinda like the MAGA shit that trmp convinces people to buy?
And none of it made in the USA?
What is Trump trying to convince people to buy?
The epitome of 'vanity press'.
Is $158k really enough to put a book on the best-selling list?
So I found this informative article on the subject, written by Tucker Max who is a writer that I was obsessed with back in the day, so I trust his information. It seems the whole publishing process is very deliberately convoluted. Now I don’t even understand the seed I posted here, lol. I found this to be worth the entire read.
OK, you're right, that was interesting.
Wow.
It never, ever, occurred to me that the NYT Bestseller list was not what it said it was.
What a strange business.
So in effect, the Trump Team saved at least $42K if not more according to the cheat code,
lol

I think certain PACs and other groups will buy numerous copies of a book just so that it gets on the best seller list. Ann Coulter is a fine example of this. Conservative groups would buy large quantities of her book, get her on list and then a year later her books are in the discount bin at Barnes and Noble
Yep, an accepted sham in the publishing world.
No doubt about it, see the link in #3.1
