Bill Barr: Last News

A post shared by Melania Trump (@melaniatrump)This just in: Melania Trump’s new memoir, appropriately titled Melania, is on track to being the dud pretty much everyone expected it to be.The sales figures have begun trickling in and, according to Circana Book Scan, the ex-FLOTUS’s book, which dropped October 8, sold a total of 85,000 copies during its first week.For comparison purposes, Becoming, the first book Michelle Obama published after leaving the White House, sold 1.4 million copies during its first week, approximately 1,315,000 more than Melania.Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!Since its 2018 publication, Becoming has sold over 17 million copies and inspired a Netflix documentary, as well as a followup book by Mrs. Obama called The Light We Carry, which also spent several weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.Melania’s book seems to be faring slightly better than the average book written by a former Trump White House official, but not by much.Again, for comparison purposes, former attorney general Bill Barr’s book sold 64,103 copies; former counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway sold 42,273 books; former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham sold 38,249 books; and former defense secretary Mark Esper sold 20,900 books.But after debuting at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, Melania was quickly knocked from the top spot by Bob Woodward’s War and then Lisa Marie Presley’s posthumous memoir From Here to the Great Unknown.
