Presumably there are more "Trump is bad" (weird simplification, but ok) books than ones on Biden because a) Trump has been president longer and b) Trump's actions harmed more people.

> weird simplification

Nothing weird about it. Allow me to grace you with a smattering of some of the titles: "Above The Law", "A Warning", "American Carnage", "Collusion", "Commander In Cheat", "Devil's Bargain", "Disloyal", "Fear", "Hoax", "Fire and Fury", "Rage", "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump", "Unbelievable", ...

Need I go on?

How about "more people want to buy a 'Trump is bad' book than a 'Biden is bad' book?"

People buy, or don't buy, books for all sorts of reasons. (For example, some people show off their books.)

> some people show off their books

Aka the ubiquitous bookshelf behind the person in their zoom calls, stocked with carefully selected book titles.

Though it's tough to beat von Braun's bookshelf:

I bet he'd even read them. Love the hole in the ceiling.
