Donald Trump's wife recently announced that her memoir will be published in the autumn of 2024. Now it's almost time: her book Melania will be published in US stores from October 8. It will also be available for purchase around the world from October 22.
That being said, it is already possible to pre-order the memoir, which is supposed to provide intimate insights into Donald and Melania Trump's relationship and marriage.
So far, the pre-orders seem to be going really well and it's already landed Mrs.Trump a key-recognition as an author.
Donald Trump congratulates his wife's bestseller
Indeed, as reported by Daily Beast, pre-orders have been so successful that it has already become the number-one bestseller on Amazon!
A detail that certainly did not escape the former President who congratulated his partner on the success. The presidential candidate wrote on X:
Congratulations to our incredible former First Lady - her new book Melania hit #1 in the US!
Melania Trump thanks fans with a new photo, and receives harsh criticism
Melania Trump also celebrated the small victory by publishing a new photo on her social media, captioned:
#1 MELANIA melaniatrump.com
She looks into the camera with her usual determination and self-confidence. Naturally, her followers flooded her section with praises. They said:
One of the best First Ladies ever! You have more love and support than you know! 🇺🇸
God bless our beautiful First Lady, Melania Trump. ✨👑✨
However, her photo was also a feast for the haters, who immediately tore the picture apart in the comments:
Why would you even post a picture like that?
It's all just filler, Botox and filters.
Sorry, but ... simply not a pretty face.
With filters, she suddenly woke up from her sleep and came out of hiding. Mom has a book for sale.
Internet users accuse Melania Trump of fraud surrounding the book
Melania Trump is not only facing criticism for her latest photo, but also her number-one position as a best-seller.
Indeed, people are accusing the 54-year-old of fraud as some are assuming that the overwhelming number of pre-orders can be traced back to Donald Trump. The critics are convinced that he is behind the many purchases, and may even have used campaign donations to do so:
She's #1 in their eyes, the only ones buying their garbage are Trump's campaign contributors.
Where is this "book" #1??? New York Times has a daily bestseller list. Your book isn't even in the top 10.
How many copies did Donald's campaign team have to buy?
How can a book be a number 1 bestseller if it hasn't even been published and reviewed yet?
There has been no proof that the memoir was ordered by Trump or his campaign, however it has been alleged that he does have a history of buying books of his family members in bulk. The Daily Beast reported that his comittee reportedly spent over $250K buying the books of his son Don Jr., and son-in-law Jared Kushner. Both books topped the best-seller list, but they were not on it for long.
