According to the international reports Triggered has sold approximately 71,000 copies last week, however, NPD could not determine how many of those sales were bulk sales. 

In the book, the American President's son defends his father from people against him and criticised the media and his father's opponents in the political sphere including Hilary Clinton. The book has been published by Centre Street, known for publishing conservative books. Trump Jr. has dedicated the book to the "deplorable", a clear shot at Hilary Clinton, who had used the word to describe the people supporting Trump during the 2016 US Presidential campaign.
