When Donald Trump Jr. visited Arlington National Cemetery shortly before his father’s inauguration, his thoughts immediately turned to the sacrifices his family was making. It sounds like a joke, sure, but it’s precisely what the president’s eldest son wrote in his new book that has earned him much criticism on social media.

In the book, Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us, Trump Jr. wrote about how his father laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier the day before his inauguration in January 2017. “I rarely get emotional, if ever,” Trump Jr. wrote in the book. “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 also lamented the “big sacrifice” that was “costing us millions and millions of dollars annually, a huge book of business that I had personally built.”]

Many were quick to criticize the passage. “Eight men I served with are buried in Section 60 of Arlington,” Rep. Ruben Gallego wrote on Twitter. “Even if Donald JR. lived a 1,000 years he will never even get close to being as good and honorable as they were.”

Author Matt Gallagher, who is also a veteran of the Iraq War, blasted Trump Jr. for his train of thought. “Imagine going to Arlington … and being moved to think about money. You are a soup sandwich, @DonaldJTrumpJr, and my friends buried there would tell you the same thing,” Gallagher wrote.

Good question Philp.

I guess its those old fashioned values of integrity, commitment and dedication to ideals larger than your selfish interests.

George Bernard Shaw said it best.

“This is the true joy of life: the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clot of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.”

Exactly. The Trumps have sacrificed just as much as any veteran. In fact, Mr Trump deliberately avoided going to war so he could give to others.

He prefers heroes who weren't captured, okay? What's wrong with that?

Yeah mybad - I didn't see Philps later post!

However Donald's present predicament is almost as dangerous as a front line foxhole!

The deep state has openly stated they want to kill him and nutty Nancy wears bracelets of 45 caliber bullets.

Exactly. That's what's so marvellous about the "narrow path to success", do you see?

When your dad gives you all this money, you can hire someone to read and write your books.

Ah, the noble system of capitalism. To he who has all, more shall be given. The leftards should bow down and worship their washing machines. They should put all their time and effort into studying Mr Trump and his family.

5 years is the minimum.
