Donald Trump Jr. is always whining about Hunter Biden for benefitting from his father’s Vice-Presidency, but the little twit wouldn’t have a bestselling book if it wasn’t for his daddy. Despite Junior’s denials, there is now proof the Republican National Committee spent almost $100,000 to buy copies of Donald Jr.’s book, thus helping him to get on the bestseller’s list. Recently, it became clear that something was amiss because the new book “Triggered” is listed with a dagger symbol, indicating a large percentage of the book’s sales came from bulk purchases.
And sure enough, it wasn’t just a conspiracy theory.
New FEC disclosures show a single large RNC payment of $94,800 to Books-a-Million in October, a few days before “Triggered” was released. An RNC spokesman confirmed that the expenditure was connected to their promotion of Don Trump Jr.’s book. pic.twitter.com/vsmmsgrYCp

An RNC spokesman previously told us “We haven’t made a large bulk purchase, but are ordering copies to keep up with demand.”
I asked today how that squares with buying almost a hundred grand worth of books on a single day.

A win-win for the Trumps and the RNC. Party raised about $500,000 off of the promotion, owing to donor interest in “Triggered.” Guesstimating off the Books-a-Million discount price, Don Jr. could have sold around 4,000 books. Doesn’t take too much more to hit the list.

Don Jr. retweeted a post from his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, who he was likely banging when he was married, and even though there’s literally proof of the bulk purchase, the couple is still denying it.
No surprise @DonaldJTrumpJr’s “#Triggered” hit #1 two weeks in a row.
I was there at every signing where THOUSANDS showed up and waited in lines. This book and its author are something special. Not your typical book signings. So much energy and excitement! https://t.co/WyIKhqHdkq

Twitter users clapped back.
Doesn’t hurt when the RNC buys them in bulk. Fraud!

Hey, remember that time that time when his daddy had to order his political party to buy the book so it wouldn’t be an embarrassing flop. https://t.co/AtT8XRtOsM

Just another way for Fredo to benefit of his dad’s presidency.

It sure sounds like Guilfoyle and Don Jr. are the ones who are “triggered” after getting caught. Ok, Junior, now cry some more about Hunter Biden. We realize this sort of thing has been going on for years in order to push an author’s book to the coveted number one spot, but Junior’s denial of reality is so Trumpian — also known as sleazy.
