Donald Trump Jr.'s New Book Stirs Controversy Online

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Donald Trump Jr.'s new book, "Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us," is garnering mixed reviews online after a November release this week. The Guardian, in the first official review of the book, called it "a better campaign biography than most," offering a "less impulsive and younger version of the incumbent." Others have criticized parts of Trump's narrative, including a scene in which he describes the "sacrifice" his family has made during a trip to Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. Billed as an expose of "all the tricks that the left uses to smear conservatives and push them out of the public square," Triggered is Trump Jr.'s first book.

In Triggered, the president’s eldest child excoriates the left for its censoriousness, but ignores his father’s repeated demands for the same. In case Don Jr forgot, Trump père is no friend of free speech or a free press.
