Thanks to Trump, Rep. John Lewis is dominating Amazon's bestsellers list
Well, something good actually happened because of Donald Trump's tweets, but don't get used to it.
Following a couple early morning tweets dismissing Rep. John Lewis, March, the Georgia congressman's graphic novel memoir, leaped to the top of Amazon's bestsellers list.
Presumably after Trump heard Lewis' assertion that he's not a "legitimate president," the president-elect, of course, dissed him on Twitter.

Trump, apparently, needs nearly 20 minutes to finish his sentences. And what does "falsely complaining" even mean?
However, the tweets drummed up interest in Lewis' incredible legacy as a Civil Rights leader, and now he has the top two slots on Amazon's bestsellers list -- just in time to honor Lewis' mentor on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
March is a National Book Award-winning trilogy about his life, which Mashable lauded as one of the most "important and revelatory" graphic novels of all time. Walking With the Wind is his more traditional memoir.
Both offer first-hand accounts from the heart of the Civil Rights movement. Lewis was a speaker on the day of King's "I have a dream" speech and had his skull fractured during the march from Selma.
Despite his newfound literary success, Lewis has nothing to do with Amazon's third bestselling book, Zero Sugar Diet: The 14-Day Plan to Flatten Your Belly, Crush Your Cravings, and Help You Keep Lean For Life.
