Donald Trump is losing in at least one competition that might make him a little sore — the bestseller list. Since 2001, Ben Carson's books have beat out works authored by current and former 2016 presidential candidates, reaching an enormous total of 1,669,300 sales. Hillary Clinton's books, including her 2014 memoir Hard Choices, have also done impressively, reaching a total of 517,500 sales.

However, Trump's books — including his favorite, Trump: Art of the Deal — have only sold 374,500 copies by comparison.
