“Melania” is here.
Melania Trump’s memoir, which should be called a Great Work of Fiction, hit amazon this morning at number 9. That’s after all the pre-orders it’s still behind a book praising Kamala Harris called “The Achievements of Kamala Harris” by Jason Dudash.
It’s the same at BarnesandNoble.com.
On Kindle, it’s the 506th most downloaded book.
“Melania” is called a “Whitewash” by the New York Times. It addresses absolutely nothing that’s happened to her or to Trump in the 9 years since they foisted themselves upon us. It’s vapid drivel, written for a third grade mind. (There’s no mention of a ghostwriter, and no acknowledgements to anyone including her publisher.)
If there’s one sticking point for Melania, it’s about Rosie O’Donnell’s assertion 8 years ago that her son, Barron, is autistic. Melania writes: “Barron is not autistic” but gives no other insight into her son — despite 87 mentions of his name throughout the book. He’s like a piece of furniture she’s been lugging around.
Did we expect her to mention Stormy Daniels or E. Jean Carroll? No. Can she explain where she was during Trump’s felony conviction trial? Or during this campaign? Not really.
Is “Melania” a waste of 20 bucks? Absolutely, considering Republicans are screaming about inflation and high prices at the grocery store. Six months from now there will be a flood of these books as remainders unsold. Once it’s down to $1.99, then you can use it in a stack under your laptop for Zoom calls.
