Donald Trump Jr. Reportedly Got a Big Book Sale Boost from the Republican National Committee

On November 5, Donald Trump Jr. released his first-ever book, Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us, generously categorized as a work of nonfiction. In it, Trump Jr. runs through his numerous qualms with the snowflakes of America, while also complaining about the sacrifices his family has made in order for his father to become president of the United States. (Trump Sr. has faced virtually zero consequences for his dozens of impeachable offenses in office, to say nothing of the numerous, credible accusations of sexual misconduct against him.) A week or so after its release, the book debuted at the top of the New York Times bestseller list in the nonfiction section. It appears that ranking doesn't exactly match up with whatever organic interest there might be in the book's actual contents.
As Nick Confessore, a New York Times reporter, points out, the RNC previously denied having purchased Don Jr.'s book in bulk. Incredibly, when Confessore followed up and asked about the FEC filing that showed a $94,800 Books-a-Million expenditure in October, the RNC said it stood by its original statement. Don Jr. and his brother have turned to other avenues to shill copies as well, allegedly asking Trump Tower partygoers to buy a boatload to further own the libs. (The Trump brothers claim this was just a joke.)
