Michael Kranish and Marc Fisher, co-authors of “Trump Revealed: An American Journey of Ambition, Ego, Money, and Power,” said a tweet from Donald Trump discouraging people from buying the book had an unintended consequence: It landed the book on the best-seller list.
The @WashingtonPost quickly put together a hit job book on me- comprised of copies of some of their inaccurate stories. Don't buy, boring!

Fisher said that on Aug. 22, the day before the Scribner title was slated to hit stores, Trump said on Twitter that the book was a “hit job” that was “boring” and not worth buying.
“That tweet caused our Amazon numbers to go sky-high,” Fisher told Media Ink, after the Washington Post journalists addressed an Advertising Week NYC session Tuesday morning. The book has been on the New York Times best-seller list for the past two weeks.
