Donor mementos. Nothing wrong with that.
Nothing wrong with that. True.
But buying $100K worth of a book that the Presidents son wrote to give away as the memento?
Politics should not be a way for your family to make money.

But, But, Republicans I'm told, are poor, Donald Snr keeps on about that....in his own sweet way, $50 can still buy something helpful in the US, who the feck wants to buy a $50 book about trigger???
article goes on to talk about how he made 10 million when in office also from book deals ,trump was pretty rich before taking office so i assume his kid was as well
The former president didn’t waste much time capitalizing on his story once he got to the nation’s capital. In January 2005, the same month he joined the Senate, he got approval from its ethics committee for a $1.9 million advance against royalties with Random House for two non-fiction books and one children’s book.

It is OK for the Trumps to game the system.
Nevermind that the same posters say it is OK were raising hell denouncing a Dem for a free T shirt for every $50 donation. They are immune to hypocrisy and nevermind this personally enriches a politician's kid, but you can be sure that if a Dem does it they rant and rave about it. If you bring this up they will have amnesia.
Both sides are hypocrites on crap like this.
The RNC spent nearly $100,000 on Donald Trump Jr.'s book, but that's not why it's a best-seller
According to NPD Bookscan, which analysts in the industry use to track book sales, "Triggered" sold 70,730 hardcover copies in its first week. The second book on The Times' list that week, "Finding Chika," sold 30,678 copies.
In its second week, "Triggered" sold 44,337 copies. The second book on The Times' best-seller list that week was "Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers," which sold 23,654 copies.
It's unclear precisely how many copies of "Triggered" the RNC purchased. But if the organization spent approximately $100,000 on an order, and it purchased the copies at the listed price of $30, that would equate to a little under 3,500 copies.
If the RNC purchased $100,000 of books at a 50% discount, it would have bought a little under 7,000 copies.
Neither figure would have been large enough to get the book to the top of the Times' list. Even if the RNC's order were to be excluded from the total sales, Trump Jr.'s book would almost certainly still debuted at No. 1.

Hillary Clinton's newest book is a certifiable flop by the publishing industry's standards, The New York Times reports. Stronger Together sold only 2,912 copies in its first week of sales according to Nielsen BookScan, which charts about 80 percent of nationwide physical book sales.......
