Sales of President Donald Trump’s first book following his move to Mar-a-Lago have skyrocketed past $1 million in the first 24 hours it went on sale.
The Conservative Brief reports:
“His new publisher, Winning Team, said that the sales of Our Journey Together crossed $1 million in the first 24 hours after Secrets revealed the new Trump project. They also said over 9,000 hardcover copies have been preordered,” the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard reported Sunday.
Noted the publishing house’s president, Sergio Gor, in an interview with the outlet: “We have seen such an incredible response to President Donald Trump’s newest book. Selling a million dollars’ worth of books in 24 hours is just extraordinary.”
Gor, who launched the publisher with Donald Trump Jr., said that the tremendous numbers in dollars and sales come before any real promotion of the book has begun.
“These sales all occurred before we started promoting the work on radio or television,” he said.
The Washington Examiner continued:
The sales should have the New York publishing world kicking itself after vowing to ignore the Trump administration in a “cancel culture” effort to prohibit the former president and his team from publishing books.
Trump has begun to promote the project, described as a coffee table book of 300 photographs and the former president’s handwritten comments on each. It is due to be released Dec. 7.
His debut interview on the book was on Fox’s Life, Liberty and Levin. Host Mark Levin featured the book for his show Sunday. In a clip of the interview already released, Trump said he did the book to highlight his “amazing four years” in office and condemn President Joe Biden’s “embarrassing and humiliating” start.
“Our Journey Together features unforgettable moments from our time in Washington: building the southern border wall; cutting America’s taxes; confirming almost 300 federal judges and three Supreme Court justices; rebuilding our military; creating Space Force; dealing with Kim Jong-Un, President Xi, President Putin, and many other world leaders; and battling liberals on two impeachment witch hunts, just to name a few,” President Trump said.
