“How I spent my summer vacation” By Junior Mints…
And now we know:
New FEC disclosures show a single large RNC payment of $94,800 to Books-a-Million in October, a few days before "Triggered" was released. An RNC spokesman confirmed that the expenditure was connected to their promotion of Don Trump Jr.'s book. pic.twitter.com/vsmmsgrYCp

I guess the RNC thought so highly of Junior Mints’ work (no, not his emotional support cougar, his book) that they bought it by the pallet and totally has nothing to do with yet again sending domestic emoluments to line the Trumps’ pockets.
So where’s the bonfire going to be?

I think I have this right:
DJT Jr. is selling a book he didn’t write to people who can’t read, and to ensure it landed on the FNYT Best Seller list, he personally purchased hundreds of copies (allegedly!), and the RNC is right there beside him, doing the same.
Now for the speculating:
If I don’t receive a complimentary copy for Xmas, then I suppose it’s safe to assume I’m not on Jr. Mintz’s list, or the RNC’s, but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna rush right out and buy it. Think Reader’s Digest will publish a condensed version? Do they still do that, even?

I quit paying attention to bestsellers lists years ago, this is an old trick.

Did anyone ever verify if Junior can read? It’s pretty well proven that his Dad has about a 4 th grade education and very poor reading skills. It may be a “father-son” kind of thing.
The other question I have is, just what did he ever have to say about his sheltered life that would fill any sort of a book? A comic book maybe, or better yet a coloring book, but a “reading” book? Come on now, that’s deep into “Onion or Borowitz” territory.

Junior Mints really tried to say that because his prep school was in PA, that he’s one with them. Of course the prep school he and Li’l Buddy Eric went to cost $64K per year (BACK THEN! or so I read)… so totally he’s the salt of the earth.

If you take a estimated wholesale price of $8.99 (50% retail) That’s roughly 10,500 books. Give it a few months and watch for the flood at Half Price Books and the Goodwill.

Probably straight to the landfill, with no covers. Snap up your first edition when they go to fifty cents and stick it in a time capsule. Right next to the Billy Beer.
