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.
Trump Jr. accuses social media outlets
Known for his attacks on local media outlets, Trump Jr. accused social media platforms of censoring him and other conservatives. He criticised the media outlets in his book by stating that the censoring and banning of his comments were a direct violation of the freedom of speech and added that it was a problem that should be fanned and allowed in America, taking a dig at social media giants such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Trump Jr. stated that he may one day run for office. He added that till the time his father had told them about his decision to run for President, he had not even considered entering the political sphere. He said that his primary focus is to win the 2020 Presidential elections for his father in order for Donald Trump to become the US President for the second time.
