It is almost as if they were alligned with Trump and seeking retaliation! Remember when folks were saying they were neutral? Link to post Share on other sites

Gritzblitz 2.0 27,102 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'm confused (and a bit drunk). Wikileaks may be in the tank for Trump, but how does releasing a book critical of Trump free of charge help Trump? Link to post Share on other sites
Leon Troutsky 26,856 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 The Wikileaks thing is also pretty obviously pro-Trump. How do we know? Because anyone with a scanner and/or some basic software could “leak” any book at any time. This didn’t “leak”. This was copied, converted to a PDF, and then uploaded. And the only reason to do it with this book instead of doing it with every book out there was to hurt the profit of the book. This was payback, in other word. Link to post Share on other sites

They didn't release anything, like every book ever it was publicly avaliable 5 minutes after the midnight release, they're just publicizing that you don't actually have to buy it to undercut the profits.

They just want the dirt on Trump. The goal is to make it free so fewer people buy the book. They won’t pay money that goes to the publisher and author (royalties) if it’s available for free. Hilariously, I think the Wikileaks thing might backfire. People who would pay for the book are still going to pay for it. BUT, some people who wouldn’t have have paid for it will read it now and will see the negative information about Trump. So I think Wikileaks just played themselves. Link to post Share on other sites
