The book should be listed on Amazon as "political satire" .

Maybe, but he probably has already made enough to retire in North Dakota.

I can wait a few months and get one for $5

And just watch how this author's admission gets swept under the rug by the mainstream media. And just imagine that someone wrote a "tell-all" expose about that anointed Kenyan president we recently had (his name escapes me at the moment but I'm sure someone will remember) and the author admitted that not everything he wrote about his majesty was true. That kind of admission would be the ongoing headline in all the mainstream media for weeks. Maybe even months so that the author would be thoroughly discredited. And how the media would do this is by asking the question, "Well, since we know that some things are falsehoods, how can we believe anything? Why should anyone believe anything? How do we know the rest of it isn't pure horse manure, also?"

It depends what you mean by flop. In terms of book sales, it is likely to be one of the biggest selling books of all time. It has likely already sold millions of copies worldwide. The book that the president tried to stop from being released. In terms of credibility, truth, and accurate depiction of the Trump White House, it could well be a flop. If nothing else I did get some good ideas from what I have heard so far. Example: Locking myself in my room at 6:30pm with a bag of McDonald's and television. Why is this a bad thing!?

You mean like the women being paid off to come forward and lie about Trump? This is sorta typical of cable news like CNN & MSNBC, but I'm kind of surprised at the major networks how they've behaved. They're no better and its sickening. What's really sickening is they know they're showcasing their biased butts and don't give a f**k. ... UGH!!!!!

It sort of reminds me of this book which didn't get as much hype because *everybody* hates Trump:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BE64MLC...ng=UTF8&btkr=1

It’s amateur hour at the White House. So says New York Times bestselling author Edward Klein in his new political exposé The Amateur. Tapping into the public’s growing sentiment that President Obama is in over his head, The Amateur argues that Obama’s toxic combination of incompetence and arrogance have run our nation and his presidency off the rails. “Obama was both completely inexperienced and ideologically far to the left of Americans when he entered the White House,” says Klein. “And he was s...

From the Amazon link above, LOL:

Praise for The Amateur


The Amateur is the best book I’ve read on how Barack Obama is wrecking our country. I urge everyone who cares about America to read Edward Klein’s eye-opening book.”
Donald J. Trump, world-famous businessman, owner and host of the hit NBC TV shows The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice, and bestselling author of many titles, including Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again

I'd be amazed if that is the case. There hasn't been a liberal favored book with any amount of sales sold in the past decade.

That isn't what he said.

In any case the reaction by the administration, and Trump, leads me to believe that some of its pretty true. What parts I have no idea.
