Donald Trump Jr.'s inner circle slammed The New York Times Thursday for suggesting his new book 'Triggered' topped the Bestseller List through 'bulk buying.' 

'Triggered' tops the hardcover nonfiction list that will appear in the November 24 edition of the Times. It currently ranks fourth on Amazon's bestseller list and at number 44 in Barnes & Noble's Top 100 list.

In the NYT, a dagger symbol appears next to the listing, indicating that some of the sales were 'bulk purchases.'

It does not say where the bulk buying has come from and the list does not say how many books have been sold.

The New York Times says 'rankings reflect unit sales reported on a confidential basis by vendors'.

A source close to Don Jr. told DailyMail.com the dagger on the listing was 'ridiculous', 'silly' and 'another excuse to pick at him.'

And the source said his books are 'massively outselling' his closest rivals and claimed the dagger is a ploy by the 'Democrats and their friends in the media.'

They did not, however, address whether bulk purchasing had taken place.

A feud with the Times was a rapid reversal for the Trump camp after a Washington D.C. reception with Ivanka and Jared Kushner toasting Don Jr.'s bestseller status on Wednesday evening.

His father tweeted in celebration of the book becoming a New York Times bestseller and Don Jr. tweeted that it was 'the book liberals don't want you to read, saying: 'It would TRIGGER our haters coast to coast if we made the NYT list!'

Their base is just getting louder.

Everyone knows how bad things are and how little Trump can be defended.  It only leaves attacking his critics and investigators and loudly support him.

Don't confuse that with an increase in support.
