How many of the 1.4 million are actually read?

I wonder if they were really printed?

It is money laundering.

labor union allies, teachers, and of course, the alleged "news" media.

Luckily, no one will read it to the last page.

Oprah probably bought a few hundred thousand copies. For the next two years her studio audiences will have them under their chairs.

Easy Christmas gift for liberals. If the recipient doesn’t love it, it also serves as a Racist Detector.

Schools and public libraries mostly. Because they have to.

Virtue signalling individuals who put it on their coffee tables a distant third.

I saw it first thing as I entered the bookstore yesterday. I didn’t see anyone pick it up but did notice it’s already at half price.

“Money laundering. No way those sale numbers reflect reader interest.”

Yup. This is how the left launders money to the corruptocrats. Michelle couldn’t give this book away.

That’s a lot of books for anyone, especially in a week. It’s either a baloney number or a mass purchase by summuddy.

LOL...it better ...because all those sales are her relatives! Sooooo...anyone who hasn’t bought 20 copies ain’t going to get a Christmas card from them. What a freakin joke! Good Lord...that number should be in the 100 millions if it mattered.
