President Donald Trumps eldest son drew scorn for how he described a visit to Arlington National Cemetery the day before his fathers inauguration in January 2017 in his new book Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us.
I rarely get emotional, if ever. I guess youd call me hyper-rational, stoic, wrote Trump Jr. Yet, as we drove past the rows of white grave markers, in the gravity of the moment, I had a deep sense of the importance of the presidency and a love of our country.
He continued:
In that moment, I also thought of all the attacks wed already suffered as a family, and about all the sacrifices wed have to make to help my father succeed voluntarily giving up a huge chunk of our business and all international deals to avoid the appearance that we were profiting off of the office.
Frankly, it was a big sacrifice, costing us millions and millions of dollars annually. Of course, we didnt get any credit whatsoever from the mainstream media, which now does not surprise me at all.

Let's continue to scorn him, and laugh at him as well.
