The $75-million, Amazon-funded Melania Trump documentary is
tanking at the box office, but a 2018 erotic thriller that depicts the First Lady as a
sexual monster is rocketing up Amazon’s sales charts.
Melania: Devourer of Men is currently an Amazon bestseller,
sitting at number 3 in the “political thrillers & suspense” category in the Kindle store. A general search for "Melania" on Amazon returns a banner ad for the documentary, the First Lady's memoir, and the erotic thriller as the top results.
A
Reddit-led campaign to disrupt the Amazon search results for “Melania” is behind the sudden spike in popularity of the eight year old book. “This weekend, Amazon is premiering its $75 million Melania Trump documentary. It already seems to be a flop,”
a post in r/BoycottUnitedStates explained. “We're going to add insult to injury 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.”
