Donald Trump told Sarah Sanders she would have to “go to North Korea and take one for the team”, after Kim Jong-un winked at the then White House press secretary during a summit in Singapore in June 2018.

“Kim Jong-un hit on you!” a delighted Trump joked, according to Sanders’ new memoir. “He did! He fucking hit on you!”

Speaking for Myself will be released next Tuesday. The Guardian obtained a copy.

Rather than a tell-all by a former staffer or a burn-all by a hostile family member, the book is a paean to the president by a loyal follower with the subtitle Faith, Freedom and the Fight of Our Lives Inside the Trump White House.

1. I'd gamble that Kim wasn't "hitting on her".

He's a short ruthless dictator, but he isn't blind FFS.
It's more likely that he got one over on Trump and thought she was in on it.

2. If that's her Big Reveal to try to tempt people into buying her book

I predict this will be one of the worst-selling books of the season. There's too much competition. Unless, of course, this book is purchased by the caseload and given away for free, like Don Jr's book.

3. They bulk buy them in the conservative PACs then throw them in the trash or ship them to suckers

The whole point is to drive up the best-seller list to give the appearance of popularity, and for laundering money directly to favored grift partners. Nobody actually reads this swill but the dumbest of the grift victim, who receive "free copies" for donations to the grift organizations.

15. Best-Seller Lists

I read somewhere recently that Best-Seller lists have been legally ruled "editorial content" and don't have to actually reflect sales numbers. Looking it up, it appears the ruling dates from 1983. I think I have just figured out why this was recent news. Probably anticipation of such purchasing antics in support of SHS's book made the issue pertinent again.

16. Gifts For Donating

That's happened before with books by Coulter or Horowitz.
The books are an already sunk cost, so it's a no cost gift. They would have become doorstops anyway.
Donate a hundred bucks, get this "best seller" as a thank you gift!
Some gift! To people that don't read!

4. Another pile of dust collectors

over in the corner of the Flea Market Centre (yeah, they spell it that way to be "elegant! ).....

5. I keep them in the box, get some boards and make book shelves out of them ...

cheaper than a concrete block.

7. It will be at the

99 cent store in no time

10. At least Jr's book was readable for the comedy that goes along with his bullshit

Sanders' book, well not so much.

"Sarah Sanders' latest book tour has been cancelled due to complete lack of interest"

6. That's her bragging point?

She thinks Kim winked at her.

Yes Sarah, you are one hot babe.

8. One of her eyebrows was quite interesting. I remember some of us here were fascinated by

watching it at her pressers.

11. oooof

[Grokenstein]

17. I noticed she made a brief appearance in the Harley Quinn animated series.

Pretty flattering, really.

[dawg day]

9. She thinks this speaks well of her and Trump?

Har de Har. I guess this "faith" lady is all okay with Trump's profanity?

[johnnyfins]

12. You know her dad is.

Trump could hit him or her in the face with a bag of shit and he would still stump for him. Hypocritical ass.

[keithbvadu2]

14. Would Sarah Huck sue Trump?
