My friend found this expression "skip the trigger" and we have no clue what it means. I looked it up in a dictionary and there was no response.

Welcome to the forum, spongie. :hi:

Please try to provide more context. Without further context, the three words mean nothing to me.

It's not a standard phrase that I know, so the wider context would help.

Welcome to the forum, spongie.

Hello, hello!

Here you go. This is the part of some article. The expression is in the title.

Skip the Trigger
The Wall Street Journal points out the gimmickry that is a “trigger” for a “public option.” It says, “A provision that would trigger a public plan in certain circumstances has the appealing political benefit of allowing one group to say those circumstances will never occur and the other to say they probably will; both can declare victory.”

I already know what it means. It is connected with computer science and creating databases. There is some options that is called "skip the trigger". Thanks anyway.

In the context of the blog, it means that it is probably better not to bother with the trigger because it's a gimmick.

This is so wrong it's funny. (It's actually humorous that you answered your own question incorrectly.)
