NEW YORK, N.Y. – The impending presidency of Donald Trump is already helping his books sell.

Trump’s breakthrough bestseller from the 1980s, “The Art of the Deal,” and his campaign work “Great Again” were on Amazon.com’s “Movers & Shakers” list Wednesday of books making the biggest jumps on the bestseller list. “The Art of the Deal” soared from No. 1,107 to No. 24 and “Great Again” from 5,340 to 172.
