Don Jr in new book says his lawyers and his dad during the Russia probe asked him to tone down the Twitter fusillade. He says he politely declined.

“I consider myself a shit-talker par excellence.”

Don Jr hints that he believes his father is more deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize than Obama was.

Don Jr writes about pranks at age 7. “When my parents had parties, I would climb up onto the rafters...with a handful of raisins, trying to land them in their drinks. More than once, guests looked at their cocktail and thought there were spiders falling from the ceiling."

“To be honest, I didn't know how to drink in moderation. I have an all-or-nothing personality,” Don Jr writes. “Throughout my time in Aspen...I began to realize that with my personality, drinking alcohol was a recipe for disaster...Eventually I would give up drinking for good."

The day his parents dropped him off at his prep school dorm room at the Hill School in Pennsylvania:

"We also stopped at Taco Bell, where my mother ordered a glass of chardonnay..."

Don Jr teased Ivanka that he‘d "include some scandalous secrets about her" in book “Triggered.”

He doesn’t. But tells anecdote about how she shattered a chandelier kicking ball in living room; their mom whacked him with a wooden spoon.

“As usual, Ivanka got off scot-free."

“I’ve never had an actual physical confrontation with any of those lunatics in my life. All I do is give speeches, have opinions, run a business, and support the president.

“... For that, I get the second highest number of death threats in the country,” Don Jr in “Triggered.”

“In case you haven’t noticed, I’m not exactly a Hallmark card type of guy,” Donald Trump Jr writes.
