Simply grotesque.<\/p>\n

That’s the only description I can give to something that Donald J. Trump Jr. wrote in his book “Triggered.”<\/p>\n

He writes about visiting Arlington National Cemetery in January 2017, the day before his father became the 45th president of the United States. He looked at the graves and thought of the “sacrifice” his family would endure once Daddy Trump became president.<\/p>\n

He writes: In that moment, I also thought of all the attacks we\u2019d already suffered as a family, and about all the sacrifices we\u2019d have to make to help my father succeed \u2014 voluntarily giving up a huge chunk of our business and all international deals to avoid the appearance that we were \u2018profiting off of the office.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

Frankly, it was a big sacrifice, costing us millions and millions of dollars annually. Of course, we didn\u2019t get any credit whatsoever from the mainstream media, which now does not surprise me at all.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wow! He equates the “sacrifice” his family has made to the men and women who have served in harm’s way, who have committed themselves to public service, and in many instances — as he looked over the graves at Arlington — have died on battlefields<\/em> in far-off lands.<\/p>\n

To equate in any fashion the sacrifice made by these Americans to what he and his family have endured is beyond the pale.<\/p>\n

Veterans have spoken out in anger at what Don Jr. has written. I cannot blame them. You may count me as one American veteran who takes great offense at what this scion of a family born into immense wealth has written.<\/p>\n

This guy knows not a damn thing about “sacrifice.”<\/p>\n\n
