Keith Olbermann is claiming that his trolling of Tomi Lahren and her American flag Halloween costume was all a ruse to get people to tweet images of his new book, “Trump Is F*cking Crazy,” where he uses a flag as a blankie.
He first thanked Donald J. Trump Jr. for linking to his book’s cover…
I knew it! Either Uday or Qusay would be dumb enough to fall for it and RT the cover of my book! The winner is @DonaldJTrumpJr. #ThanksDondi pic.twitter.com/qWmMPB4u2p

…and then thanked Tomi Lahren for retweeting him:
Dondi’s confession that “Life is hard; it’s even harder when you’re stupid” and @TomiLahren’s RT were unexpected bonuses

Remember, this is the same guerilla-marketing genius that trolled a parody Bill Mitchell account in an attempt to sell the book:

As of the writing of this post, the book is No. 8,863 in the Amazon Kindle store, No. 1,085 in hardcover sales:
We wonder what the sales were before the Donald Jr. and Tomi tweets?
