Whether you agree politically with the content of this book or not, it is impossible to look past the fact that it is very poorly written. It reads more like a rushed draft than a finished work, and it would have benefited from the input of an editor at any time during its production. I will give it two stars instead of one as it does appear to be an honest attempt at writing by the author, but the author needs to understand in future attempts that even a mediocre book needs more effort and consideration than simply putting a lot of words in order.

Something I think about often is that just because I personally agree with something doesn’t mean that I need to endorse or accept bad arguments in support of it. It is possible to strongly believe in right wing politics – even to actively detest left wing politics – and recognize that there is little value to this book. Its main arguments are superficial at their deepest, the content is not very well developed, and the sum of its parts is a hastily produced autobiography much more than it is a respectable analysis of the current political climate. By the time a reader gets to the end of this book, they will have much more of an idea of who the author believes he is – and how the author feels about his father – than they will have any sort of new insight on its purported subjects.

Should the author write any more books, my suggestion would be to put more effort into their production and the depth of their content. This book as it stands attempts to rely on witty insults and attempts at humor to bridge the content together, but that content has no depth, provides no new or fresh insight, and is not presented in an organized manner. If readers want superficial content used as a vehicle to move cheap insults, they can get content of that quality for free just by reading the comments on any news article posted to Facebook. There is no real value gained by paying money to get that same caliber content out of this book.

THIS IS THE GREATEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN, ALSO THE LONGEST, BY THE BEST SON IN THE WORLD, AND BY THE BEST I MEAN HE IS THE SMARTEST, EASILY THE SMARTEST SON THERE HAS EVER BEEN, AND THE BEST LOOKING AND THE BEST WRITER, WE HIRED THE BEST WRITER, I MEAN HE IS THE SMARTEST GOOD LOOKING BEST WRITER, WELL, YOU KNOW, EXCEPT FOR HIS FATHER, OBVIOUSLY HIS FATHER IS SMARTER, AND HAS REALLY BIG HANDS, AND WE’VE BEEN GROOMING HIM BECAUSE OF COURSE THE DYNASTY MUST GO ON BECAUSE THERE WOULDN’T BE MUCH POINT IN HAVING A DYNASTY, OR A NAME REALLY, IF IT DIDN’T GO ON, BUT GROOMING NOT IN THE WAY YOU WOULD THINK HAVE YOU SEEN THAT BEARD OF HIS, WE MAKE SURE THAT STAYS REALLY CLOSELY CROPPED, IT’S ELEGANT ISN’T IT? THAT BEARD? ANYWAY, WHERE WAS I? OH RIGHT BUY THIS BOOK IT’S THE BEST.

enjoying the humorous writing style of DJT Jr. He holds nothing back, sharing stories from his earliest years that include a summer long visit to Czechoslovakia with his hard working grandparents, working heavy equipment in the Trump construction company, and being cut absolutely no slack while he learned the business.

All of this prepared him for and gave credence to his recounting of the time on the campaign trail, election night and the fiasco that has ensued for the last 3 years. You will find this info and more in Triggered. Trump Jr. provides some code crackers for buzz words that permeate the media today. As a more senior member of the electorate, I really appreciated that! Additionally, theres a chapter on the social media thats just enlightening; so glad I dont partake!

Is this book a fine piece of literature? Nope. It wasnt meant to be. Its a heartfelt accounting of events from a son who loves his father. Its the truth, as he experienced it and much of what is said in this volume has been reported across many channels and pages, e and otherwise. There are some decent pictures, if that interests you, but mostly there is an accounting of events, (albeit with an edge that might upset some), from a son who has temporarily given up his own path
to support his father, who just happens to be POTUS

Such an amazing book, very insightful and so true.

Honestly, the best book Trump Jr’s ever written.
