OUCH!

The book is perfect: It's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money.
redditors have already pushed the book high: It's currently the 15th result when you search "Melania Trump." That's crazy. 2 days ago it wasn't even on the first page. With a little more push, we can keep this moving up the charts. We just need people to:
"Buy" the book (it's free)
Share this post and get other people to buy the book. {MORE}@503bartley @cstross Done! I absolutely love this idea. Use Amazon against itself.

@UweHalfHand @503bartley @cstross For me too. #2 for both "Melania" and "Melania Trump".
It's rising on Amazon Germany too. #3 for "Melania" and #4 for "Melania Trump".

I too was concerned for their wellbeing afterwards.
And they don't have the option of doing what that lady who left after 20 minutes did.

@GetCarter@mastodonapp.uk Who on Earth were those three people in Islington? And are they alright afterwards? https://mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/melania-trump-suffers-humiliating-blow-36629616 #Melania #MelaniaTrump #USMovies #VueCinema #Islington

The Daily Record reported a total of 16 tickets sold in Edinburgh and Glasgow as of this morning. ABC reported 50 pre-booked tickets across the whole of Australia for opening day.
Melania Trump documentary sells just 16 tickets in Scotland for opening day
The low sales reflect a global trend of disinterest in Melania, a feature-length documentary produced by Amazon.

Laughing at Melania's ticket sales? You might be missing the point
Dire box office sales surrounding the US first lady's bio-doc have made headlines, but some argue there's likely a good reason Jeff Bezos's Amazon MGM Studios has splashed so much cash on MELANIA.

Ok, Monsterdon fans, are you willing to allow a spyware visible search on Amazon for a novel titled *’Melania: Devourer of Men’* in the interest of the greater good?
It’s currently selling for $6.53 on Amazon.ca if you really want a paperback copy but the ebook download is free.
Reddit has proposed an effort to get this trending.
️️️️️️️@AlsoPaisleyCat This is simultaneously petty and brilliant. I am almost tempted to make an account on amazon for this.

️️️️️️️@AlsoPaisleyCat @503bartley @cstross So how does this work, we just go to Amazon and search for "Melania: Devourer of Men" and that's it?

Searching helps it move up in search results but downloading the free ebook would help even more.

It’s making headlines now!
404 media has the report.
That cover really does look like a great fit for #Monsterdon. Too bad that’s not a movie.
Erotic Parody 'Melania: Devourer of Men' Sales Surge on Amazon Amid Documentary Flop
A Reddit-led protest is trying to push an eight year old erotic thriller to the top of Amazon’s sales charts.

OUCH! "It’s one of those rare, unicorn films that doesn’t have a single redeeming quality. I’m not even sure it qualifies as a documentary, exactly, so much as an elaborate piece of designer taxidermy, horribly overpriced and ice-cold to the touch"
https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/jan/30/melania-review-trump-film-is-a-gilded-trash-remake-of-the-zone-of-interest@cstross I see we've found the one person who bought a ticket

@CurlyParakeet @richrockster @503bartley @cstross @jwz searching from an account that hasn’t looked at it, it comes up second in a search on Amazon for Melania when I checked just now.
@thatKomputerKat @CurlyParakeet @richrockster @503bartley @cstross @jwz am I seeing 12200 actual purchases of the real Melania book? Wtaf.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/jan/30/melania-review-trump-film-is-a-gilded-trash-remake-of-the-zone-of-interest@cstross Looks like a script for the Bond villain of our times: vapid, more vapid and carelessly destructive in OTT white and gold.

This guy is delusional. This was a bribe to curry favour.
"Documentary filmmaker Stefano Da Frè, who was not involved in the project told CNN that Amazon would have done their homework before making that kind of outlay, explaining that Amazon “is a data-driven company.
“With all their tools, all their AI, Amazon Web Services — they didn’t just come up with that number randomly,” he said. “They believe, through their metrics, that it’s worth that amount.”
@elasticsoul
Just to rub it in, I want to contrast that with Michelle Obamas book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becoming_(book)

It is rare for any piece of art to so fully capture the spirit of its subject.
