America's polarized politics can be seen every week on The New York Times best seller list. This week, Omarosa Manigault Newman is No. 1 with "Unhinged," her bridge-burning account of her time in the Trump White House.
"Unhinged" topped both the print hardcover and the combined print and e-book best sellers list, according to the Times chart, which was shared with publishers on Wednesday.
Some of the sales data indicates that President Trump's vicious tweets about Omarosa helped lift her sales.
The book started climbing Amazon's best sellers chart when Trump let loose, labeling her "Wacky Omarosa" and describing her as a dog. The Trump tweets generated more news coverage and curiosity which in turn generated more sales.

First...you don't understand satire when you see it?
Second...big friggin' deal. Have you ever heard of how to "buy" a best seller?
“Bestseller” is a manipulated term. If you want to be a bestselling author, take out a $100,000 loan and buy 15,000 of your own books from Amazon.” Patrick SnowBuying Your Way To the Top: A strategy to becoming a bestselling author.If you don’t want to leave anything to chance or if you don’t have the inclination on becoming a book marketing pro, you can always buy enough books to be considered a bestselling author.
Having worked with some of the top marketers on the Internet for years, I know how easy it is to “buy” your way to success and that coveted “Bestseller” title!
There are firms like ResultSource, a San Diego-based marketing consultancy, that specialize in getting books onto bestseller lists, according to The Wall Street Journal. For clients willing to pay enough, it will even guarantee a No. 1 spot. It does this by taking bulk sales and breaking them up into more organic-looking individual purchases, defeating safeguards that are supposed to make it impossible to “buy” bestseller status.
You’ll need to account a budget to buy between 3,000 and 9,000 copies of your book, which can run you up to a couple hundred thousand dollars depending on the cost of your book to either hit the Wall Street Journal or New York Times Bestseller list and you’ll also have to account for their fee, which is typically more than $20,000.
If you don’t have $100,000-$250,000 lying around to buy your Bestselling Author status, you’re going to have to rely on good book marketing strategies to boost your sales and get you on the list of top sellers - in Omarosa's case, some of that "marketing" came from Trump himself, with some of the sales indicating that his vicious tweets about Omarosa helped lift her sales.
If marketing is not your strong suit, you’ll definitely want to work with a book marketing consultant who can guide you so that you can take advantage of the fact that most Indie publishers can rank really well on Kindle!
Give her a week or two. She has already gone WELL over her fifteen minutes.
