Trump Jr. Equates Soldier Deaths to Business ‘Sacrifices’

The Washington Post quotes Donald Trump Jr. in his new book, Triggered, in which he recounts a visit to Arlington National Cemetery which made him think of all the business “sacrifices” his family had to make in their father’s quest to become president.

Writes Trump: “I rarely get emotional, if ever. 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 added: “In that moment, I also thought of all the attacks we’d already suffered as a family, and about all the sacrifices we’d have to make to help my father succeed—voluntarily giving up a huge chunk of our business and all international deals to avoid the appearance that we were ‘profiting off the office.’”
