After Trump's fraud claims, Danish author demands a recount of his book sales. Recount confirms: 0.
One year, one copy and dozens of websites produced zero sales. Abdel Seoud says those numbers cannot be right. The recount says they can.
WASHINGTON and COPENHAGEN — After his party's losses in the midterm elections, President Trump has raised claims of election fraud, according to news reports.
In Copenhagen, Danish author Abdel Seoud has raised a claim of his own. After a year of selling the only copy of Dad, Look – I Wrote A Book! through 57 websites, his official sales stand at zero. He has demanded a full recount.
"One year. One copy. 57 websites. Zero sales. Those numbers cannot be right," Seoud said. "I want every website counted. Twice."
DNN's Decision Desk carried out the recount. It confirmed the original result: 0.

The interview
- DNNWhy demand a recount?
- SeoudBecause the result is zero. Nobody wants zero. I wanted at least one.
- DNNWho counted the sales the first time?
- SeoudMe. And the second time. I have full confidence in the counter. I just don't like the count.
- DNNDo you suspect fraud?
- SeoudI suspect nobody bought the book. That is the worst kind of result: none.
- DNNIs there any good news?
- SeoudThere is a $70 offer. I am counting that as a moral victory.
- DNNWill you concede?
- SeoudNever. The book stays on the table until someone buys it. Beers and chocolates with the author included.

Donald Trump has not seen this article, has not endorsed the book and has nothing to do with it. His fraud claims are described as reported, and DNN takes no side on the election. The book's sales are real, and they are zero.
