The latest buzz in the literary world revolves around the former president, Donald Trump, whose third post-presidency book, Save America, has officially hit the New York Times bestseller list, much to the chagrin of those who’ve tried to ignore it. Now, for a book that carries a hefty price tag of $99, one might think it would be hard to complain about its success, but it seems the New York Times may still be scratching its head. The ironic twist? Many believe the paper only grudgingly acknowledged this feat in their latest rankings.
Save America, a rich 360-page coffee table extravaganza, marks its territory as the latest addition to Trump’s lineup of bestsellers. It joins his earlier hits, Our Journey Together and Letters to Trump, which similarly combined personal musings with striking visuals from his time in office. Interestingly enough, while other authors might bask in the glory of a more affordable price point, this hefty investment comes with the promise of insider perspectives that you won’t find anywhere else. For book lovers or, let’s be honest, Trump enthusiasts, it’s a price worth paying for those who want to soak in every fabulous moment of the Trump presidency.
Curiously, Save America debuted at No. 11 on the Times’ September 22 list, which begs the question: How does a high-priced surprise land a solid spot on that ranking? It’s almost as if the book’s unique allure and solid pre-orders went unacknowledged in the final numbers. Even the CEO of Winning Team Publishing, Sergio Gor, celebrated this achievement, pointing out that Trump’s book is not just another item on the shelf—it packs much more value than its counterparts. Especially when most of its sales are thought to be direct orders from his publisher, which the Times didn’t seem eager to reflect accurately.

The cover of Save America showcases the iconic image of Trump with his fist raised, a symbol of resilience and determination. The book encapsulates key milestones from his presidency, while teasing plans for his potential return in the next election cycle. Who needs a crystal ball when you have this coffee table book detailing Trump’s visions for America? The thrill of anticipation is woven into every page, and it’s hard to ignore the connection fans may already feel to this leader chomping at the bit to reclaim his position.
The revelation that so many copies flew off the shelves before official release highlighted the craving for Trump’s insights among the autobiographical offerings of the time. Adding fuel to this fire is the consideration that had all the orders made directly through his publisher been counted, Save America would have likely snatched the title of America’s No. 1 bestseller. It’s a bold reminder that even in the world of publishing, Trump remains an undeniable force—his books not only peddle nostalgia but also fuel future ambitions, while simultaneously demonstrating a stark contrast to the mainstream media’s indifference.
