Exclusive: Sales of Melania Trump Souvenir Memoir Down 59% in Second Week Despite PR Push

Melania Trump’s book sales are as successful as her husband’s other businesses, like hawking steaks and suits and his Trump University.

“Melania,” a memoir with no memories, dropped 59% in its second week of sales according to Circana Book Scan.

The tome, which comes in an odd sticky cover, dropped from 85,000 to just 35,000.

The book is currently number 12 on amazon.com. On the New York Times best seller list, “Melania” plummeted from one week at number 1 to number 5.

“Melania” has been roundly criticized as a piece of campaign propaganda with no self-reflection or revelations. None of Donald Trump’s scandals or trials is addressed, and even the author’s history as a model in Slovenia reads more like a bad novel than anything remotely factual.

The current book retails for $30 but the author promises a “collector’s edition” for $250 that includes her photos of the sky while traveling aloft Air Force One.

Showbiz411 is now in its 13th year of providing breaking and exclusive entertainment news. This is an independent site, unlike the many Hollywood trades that are owned by one company. To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too. They are just another facet of keeping fact based journalism alive.
Thank you
