Donald Trump Jr.'s first book "Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us” debuted at #1 on The New York Times nonfiction bestseller list on Wednesday.
"Triggered," which was officially released on Tuesday, outlines Trump Jr.'s political views while also discussing President Trump's campaign and administration.
The top-ranking comes amid a national book tour from the president’s oldest son that included a contentious stop at ABC's "The View" last week. The visit, which came on the opinion roundtable program's 5000th episode, was seen by more than 3 million viewers, marking the show’s most-watched episode since April, according to Nielsen.

That is so much BS. This was settled in 2008.
The children of foreign nationals are themselves foreign nationals, not natural born citizens, even if they are also given US citizenship.
Natural born citizens are NATURALLY citizens because they could not possibly be anything else, born here of citizen parents, solely Americans.
Natural born citizens have ONE nationality.
Anyone born with more than one is not naturally American.
Bought it at Books a Million.......
....had to ask for it.....
They practically hid it....
....a couple books on a table.....the remainder was off to the side below table top, floor level
anti Trump books were visibly displayed
“2024 for President.”
I want to see him run for something else first
Donald Trump Jr is in the same position as B Hussein Obama. No one is going to say he is not eligible to run for POTUS.
Democrats may elect ineligible candidates, but enough Republicans will not vote for one to make it pointless to nominate one.
How well hidden is it on the shelves at Barnes & Noble?
Yay! I can’t believe Donald Trump Jr’s book was the first to use this title. I can’t wait to read it.

That's right.
Trump Jr. was born (1977) to a foreign national mother. He inherited his foreign mother's foreign citizenship (Czech) by birthright. [1][2]
He was born a dual citizen.
Ivana Trump naturalized in 1988 [3][4]
These days, (D)'s can get away with putting a usurper in the oval office (although, the (R)'s were the first to do it)...the (R)'s best not nominate someone who isn't a natural Born Citizen...because there is a large percentage of informed, principled constitutionalists/originalists that would not vote for him.
That, and just as a general issue, many in this country do not like family dynasties in the Presidency.
All 3 Trump children (the older ones) were born in New York.
Born in New York as Czech nationals from their Czech national mother.
The only way someone is NATURALLY a citizen is if they cannot be anything else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Anyone born with more than ONE nationality is not NATURALLY an American.
No person except a natural born Citizen, OR a Citizen of the United States,....it says nothing about the mother or father being a foreign born individual.
Natural born citizens can only come from citizen parents.
Foreign nationals beget foreign nationals.
The part after the comma, “or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution” was to grandfather themselves in and they also knew there were not going to be any natural born citizens eligible for 35 years.

DT Jr is not a dual citizen. My parents were both foreign nationals when I was born. I am not a dual citizen. I am an American citizen by birth and I have no other citizenship and no other passport. This whole thing was settled in 2008 with BHO, so the precedent has been set. Anyone who believes DT Jr is not eligible to be POTUS is living in an alternate universe. If this was to be challenged, it would have been done so in 2008.
In the case of obama; no one knows where the bastard was born. His father was not a citizen; his mother denounced her own citizenship as she trapesed all over the 3rd world shithole countries.
The Founding Fathers never intended to eliminate true American citizens...which the Trump children are. What is your problem?
They are American citizens, they are not natural born citizens.
There is a difference as evidenced by the language in Article II.
Read the link if you want to know more.
Obama was never eligible, look how badly that turned out and then tell me you want to make Anwar al-Awlaki’s kids, born in Yemen to one citizen parent natural born citizens eligible to be President, if Ted Cruz is, they are.
The founders specifically rejected “born a citizen” as not restrictive enough. Jus soli + jus sanguine.
Natural born citizen means born here of citizen parents.
ONE nationality was the goal of the founders.
Sole loyalty and allegiance to the USA.

Don Trump jr. is eligible. period. He is a citizen; born and raised here.
The only adult Trump child that is a natural born citizen is Tiffany.
Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka were all born with divided citizenship, Czech and US, precisely the condition the founders were excluding when they insisted on a natural born citizen.
How can someone born with two nationalities be naturally an American?
No. That boat sailed with Obama. You are obviously not using the same standard the gubmint does to determine eligibility. I don’t disagree with you but the reality is that Obama was President just by claiming to be born int he US.
