Wait til the Orange Idiot get's a load of this...
Michelle Obama's book, 'Belonging', flew off the shelves to sell over 1.4 million copies in the first week of its release, easily surpassing the number of copies sold by Donald Trump's 1987 book 'Trump: The Art of the Deal', which has barely managed to sell 1.1 million copies since its release.
According to reports, the former First Lady's books sold out at the rate of almost nine copies per second, on its very first day, making her memoir the fastest-selling book of the year so far; while in the UK, the memoir is close to the top of the book charts.
On Amazon.com, more than 200 user reviews gave it five stars. After the initial print run of 1.8 million copies across the US and Canada, publishing company Penguin Random House had already ordered an additional 800,000 hardbacks of 'Becoming'.
On Monday, the company declared that the memoir had sold out almost 725,000 copies in its first 24 hours on sale, which made it the biggest single-day sell of the year, making chief executive Madeline McIntosh address the response as "extraordinary".
