Donald Trump Jr walks out of Triggered book launch after heckling - from supporters
Source: The Guardian
Donald Trump Jr ventured on to the University of Californias overwhelmingly liberal Los Angeles campus on Sunday, hoping to prove what he had just argued in his book that a hate-filled American left was hell-bent on silencing him and anyone else who supported the Trump presidency.
But 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 audience was angry that Trump Jr and his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, would not take questions. The loud shouts of USA! USA! that greeted Trump when he first appeared on the stage of a university lecture hall to promote his book Triggered: How The Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us quickly morphed into even louder, openly hostile chants of Q and A! Q and A!

"How much of your success is due to the genetics of trump and how much is what he taught you?'
I could see those questions, ala that woman in Colorado who said how glad she was that dumbya was president

(9,426 posts)Treasury (otherwise known as the tRump family slush fund) to pay his expenses, and those of his side piece? For supposedly "millionaires" this family keeps tight holds on their own money. We are being taken for the worst ride in the history of this country by a family of grifters. He must think growing that beard will conceal the fact that he has no chin! Should have had a chin implant like Iwanka.
that blank look could just reflect lack of cognition, rather than excessive Botox. Except iwanka--that's definitely Botox overload.
