Mary Trump’s new book about her uncle, President Donald Trump, was already breaking sales records on the first day of its release, CNN reported on Thursday.
“Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man” was released on Tuesday after winning a legal battle over confidentiality agreements, according to CNN.
By the end of Tuesday, the book had already sold 950,000 copies, which was a record for the book’s publisher, Simon & Schuster, according to USA Today. The total includes presales as well as ebooks and audiobooks.
“There is only one word that can be used to describe the sales of Mary Trump’s memoir and that word is HUGE,” Simon & Schuster CEO Jonathan Karp said in a statement, according to USA Today.
Karp called the book “a cultural phenomenon and must-read for anyone seeking to understand the singular family dynamic that produced the most powerful man in the world today,” according to USA Today.
The book is a memoir about the Trump family/ Mary Trump — who is a clinical psychologist — explores how the family shaped the president into the man that he is today, according to the Los Angeles Times.
“I saw firsthand what focusing on the wrong things, elevating the wrong people can do — the collateral damage that can be created by allowing somebody to live their lives without accountability,” said Mary Trump in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday, according to The Hill.
“And it is striking to see that continuing now on a much grander scale,” Trump added, according to The Hill.
Mary Trump’s memoir follows on the heels of another book about President Trump, former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s “The Room Where it Happened,” according to CNN. Bolton’s book was published two weeks ago and sold over 780,000 copies during the first week of its release.
