Donald Trump Hawked Donald Trump Jr.’s New Book And It Didn’t Go So Well

The president hailed “Triggered: How The Left Thrives On Hate And Wants To Silence Us” as “great.” “I highly recommend for ALL to read,” he wrote.
My son, @DonaldJTrumpJr is coming out with a new book, “Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us” – available tomorrow, November 5th! A great new book that I highly recommend for ALL to read. Go order it today!

A review in Britain’s Guardian newspaper, however, has described the book ― published by Center Street Books ― as “one-eyed, loose with the facts and a crude attack on the left. In short, it’s like his dad – and it might work.”
Many critics speculated as to whether Trump had actually read the book he was hyping to his 66.5 million followers (he famously eschews reading) and suggested he was helping his family profit from his presidency.
Pity, the publisher didn’t go with its working title. “grifted,” b/c buying this book is like purchasing snake oil to cure what ails you. https://t.co/oMBXmW3PHl

5 CFR § 2635.702 – Use of public office for private gain.
Or does that only apply to non politicians? That’s the problem with you all. Government employees are held to higher standards than you politicians who have zero accountability and are at the bottom of the barrel.

Trump treats ethic and conduct violations like eating Lay’s chips. Can’t violate just one.

How’s that for using the office of the presidency as a ad for the family business, just wait and we can see press conferences when he tell world leaders to stay at his hotel… oh wait he tried that… perhaps he’ll tell us all about his steaks or dc hotel…
