Eat your heart out, John Grisham

Triggered by by Donald J. Trump Jr. was published Nov. 5 and leaped immediately to the top of the New York Times' Best-Seller list. It's about how the liberal media, the socialist Democrat Party and the Ebonians are all out to get his daddy.
 Mr, Trump Jr. has a bachelor's in real estate finance. His literary success reminds me of the old joke: "Six months ago I didn't know how to write, and now I are a author."
 The Times  reports that the book got a boost from  a $94,800 advance order from the Republican National Committee. That is not unusual. Organizations, even political parties, often buy books in quantity to either resell or give away. This is a little odd, though, according to the Times' story;
 While it’s not uncommon for books to be sold for fund-raising purposes by Republican and Democratic committees, the R.N.C.’s Triggered  purchase is unusual in that the committee is promoting a book written by a candidate’s son who isn’t a politician and isn’t running for office.
 Of course, the R.N.C. these days, like the White House, is less an organ of American politics and more a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump Corporation, which Mr. Trump Jr. nominally heads.
 In light of his overnight success as an author, though, don't you think the corporation and its subcontractors should lay off the criticism of Hunter Biden?

  1. Well, now I know what's not on my Christmas gift list. Though I do have a family member or two who might enjoy it. Too bad, they'll have to get it on their own dime.
    The title "Triggered" is puzzling. Isn't that what librul snowflakes are supposed to succumb to? Or maybe (probably) the author is making fun of the snowflakes.
    Dollars to donut holes Don Jr. had a ghost writer.

  2. I thought that being triggered meant that you were violated by Roy Rogers' horse.
