Dems do this too. You can actually pay $30k or so to have it listed as a bestseller no matter how many it sells. Ive heard this from several authors.

I imagine that ^^^ activity is pretty common to boost book sales, its called creating momentum.

And then they hand them out for free to people. Something wrong with that?

Him and Eric have been trying to unload boxes of it at events practically begging people to buy it.

Nobody wants to read that shite.

not at all, it clearly says on the disclosure that they were "donor momentos".

just remember when you see "NYT bestselling author" next to don jr's name, why exactly that is

If Don Jr. had sold the books directly to the RNC heads would explode everywhere.

What's the issue?

Is that similar to getting a peace prize for dividing a country?

note to self: another reason not to donate to the RNC, donate only to the guy I want to win.

Thanks. I'll keep the same in mind when Michelle Obama is nominated for a Grammy for an audio book.
