Donald Trump Jr. appeared at a UCLA event to promote his new book “Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us” but it was his own MAGA supporters who silenced him. Junior had to abruptly end his gig after the crowd of supporters raised their voices in protest and drowned out Junior, resulting in the “president’s” eldest son, and his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, walking out. It wasn’t just the shitty couple who was booed, but also Turning Point USA activist Charlie Kirk.
“The appearance backfired when his own supporters, diehard Make America Great Again conservatives, raised their voices most loudly in protest and ended up drowning him out barely 20 minutes into an event scheduled to last two hours,” The Guardian reports.
The news outlet adds that “Trump and Guilfoyle tried to ignore the discontent, which originated with a fringe group of America Firsters who believe the Trump administration has been taken captive by a cabal of internationalists, free-traders, and apologists for mass immigration.”
“When the shouting would not subside, Trump Jr tried – and failed – to argue that taking questions from the floor risked creating soundbites that leftwing social media posters would abuse and distort,” The Guardian continued. “Nobody was buying that.”

“I’m willing to listen…” Trump told the crowd.
“Q and A! Q and A!” the supporters yelled back.
“We’ll go into the lion’s den and talk …” Trump insisted.
“Then open the Q and A!” the crowd yelled back.
Guilfoyle interjected to say: “You’re not making your parents proud by being rude and disruptive.”
It was just moments later that she and Don Jr left the stage.
