Trump Jr. Releases Provocative Book Defending Father

Agence France-Presse

   NEW YORK - Donald Trump Jr. released a book Tuesday that rails against
   the left as he admitted he had caught the political bug and may
   consider running for office in the future.

   In "Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence US,"
   the president's son fiercely defends his father and slams mainstream
   media and political opponents including Hillary Clinton.

   "This is the book that the leftist elites don't want you to read!"
   screams a blurb on Amazon, adding that "no topic is spared from
   political correctness."

   Trump Jr. dedicates the 300-page part memoir to "deplorables," a clear
   dig at Clinton who used the term to describe Trump supporters during
   the 2016 presidential campaign.

   The book quickly rose to third on Amazon's list of bestselling books
   after the president on Monday encouraged his 66.5 million Twitter
   followers to order a copy.

   "A great new book that I highly recommend for ALL to read," Trump
   tweeted.

   Trump Jr., known for his virulent attacks on traditional media
   including The New York Times and The Washington Post, accuses social
   networks of trying to sensor him and other conservatives.

   "This 'shadow banning' amounts to a complete suppression of freedom of
   speech. It can't be allowed to continue," he writes in the book, taking
   aim at Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
