    Politicians use ghost writers for their books. All he accomplished was having enough money to “write” a book. The NYT bestsellers list is, as others have pointed out, very manipulated. It’s been a ‘joke’ for a long long time that people just buy their own books for the numbers. Political parties especially buy them in bulk to boost the numbers.

    Every politician has a book. It’s part of the process, or the culture. You’re not a “real” politician if you don’t have a book. Even insane people like Marjorie Taylor Greene has a book.

    It’s not an accomplishment. It’s just paying someone to write something for you.
