Mary Trump’s book sells 950,000 copies in preorders alone

Mary Trump’s book about President Trump sold 950,000 copies in combined print, digital and audio edition preorders alone, according to publisher Simon & Schuster.

The sales numbers come as the president’s niece, who is also a clinical psychologist, called on Trump to resign in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that aired on Wednesday.

“I saw firsthand what focusing on the wrong things, elevating the wrong people can do — the collateral damage that can be created by allowing somebody to live their lives without accountability,” she said. “And it is striking to see that continuing now on a much grander scale,” she also told ABC.

Mary Trump’s “Too Much Is Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man” was released on Tuesday, one day after a New York judge lifted a temporary restraining order preventing her from promoting the tell-all.

Books about the Trump presidency have sold well since the former real estate mogul and reality TV star took office in January 2017.

Michael Wolff’s “Fire and Fury,” journalist Bob Woodward’s “Fear” and former FBI Director James Comey’s “A Higher Loyalty” sold millions of copies, while former national security adviser John Bolton’s book sold nearly 800,000 copies in its first week of sales alone upon its release last month.

Other books are planned before the election on Nov. 3, including an offering from Andrew Weissmann, who served as a lead prosecutor for former special counsel Robert Mueller.

Weissmann’s book, “Where Law Ends: Inside the Mueller Investigation,” will come out on Sept. 29 and will focus on the two-year investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to publisher Random House.
