@wolfgang59 said“Trigger” is a relatively new context for the word and it means to “trigger a response” usually an emotionally negative response. A bit like a forum troll might trigger someone to reply with a emotional irrational reply.

A typical and topical example might be to trigger a brexit voter thus:
Trigger:
“Brexit is all about immigration and is driven by bigots and racists, but I don’t need to explain that to you,”
Triggered response:
“Shove your viscous generalisation up your anally retentive butthole”
