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}That's it. Then we can celebrate as an erotic novel about a bat monster Melania Trump becomes a higher and higher search result on Amazon.

IT'S WORKING. This book is now the EIGHTH result on Amazon when you search for Melania Trump. We are going UP!!! KEEP SHARING! -

@arrrg @JdeBP @GetCarter There is no OSHA in the UK. (Different laws, different enforcement regime.)

They're not far off, either.
I just turned up this. Apparently, 4 people joined The Metro's reviewer on opening night, plus an additional 1 who was apparently another movie reviewer.
So a third of the audience was people who were being paid to watch the movie. (-:
I sat in a near-empty cinema for Melania - here's what I thought
Journalist Kimberley Bond was one of only a handful of people at her screening of the controversial new documentary about the life of the First Lady.

Amusing coincidence: Kimberley Bond also writes features for Cosmo.

reddit.com/r/esist/comments/1qqqe05/get_in_were_messing_up_melanias_amazon_searchGet in. We're messing up Melania's Amazon search results
This weekend, Amazon is premiering its $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It already seems to be a flop.
But we're going to take it one step further by messing up Melania's Amazon search results. Specifically, we're going to amplify the paranormal erotic thriller novel Melania: Devourer of Men so it ranks higher than her movie. {MORE}@503bartley @cstross Clickable link to Reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/esist/comments/1qqqe05/get_in_were_messing_up_melanias_amazon_search/

@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".

However, if we assume the purpose was to give Ms Trump $30M (a contribution to her Running Away Fund?) then it presumably counts as a success.There is a school of thought on that, made into another movie documentary by Mel Brooks before I was even born. (-:
JdeBP (@JdeBP@mastodon.scot)
In this Post-Stross Universe, where fiction is now the upper bound on how positive the future will be, we are watching the plot of #MelBrooks's 1967 movie _The Producers_ play out in real time. The audience has yet to start laughing at #Amazon's cunning scheme to give a bung to #DonaldJTrump via a disastrous #Melania movie about the rise to power of a monarch and his consort. https://mastodon.scot/@JdeBP/115986124726085280 #MelaniaTrump #USMovies #SpringTimeForHitler #TheProducers #PostStrossUniverse #fascism

This guy is delusional. This was a bribe to curry favour.
"Documentary filmmaker Stefano Da FrΓ¨, 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 βis a data-driven company.
βWith all their tools, all their AI, Amazon Web Services β they didnβt just come up with that number randomly,β he said. βThey believe, through their metrics, that itβs worth that amount.β

OUCH! "Itβs one of those rare, unicorn films that doesnβt have a single redeeming quality. Iβm 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"
