Steve Doocy got an exclusive guided tour of Mar-a-Lago with Eric Trump on Fox & Friends, a rare inside look the mainstream media would never grant unless it served their narrative. The segment doubled as a book stop and a reminder that the Trumps still own their story and their property — and they aren’t afraid to show it.
Eric Trump used the occasion to promote his new memoir, Under Siege, which was published this month and promises a firsthand account of what the family calls relentless legal and political attacks. The book, released by Threshold Editions/Simon & Schuster, lays out the family’s version of events from boardrooms to the chaos of multiple investigations.
Throughout the tour and interview Eric returned to the moment that changed everything for his family — the FBI’s unexpected search of Mar-a-Lago — framing it as proof that a political machine tried to intimidate and silence them. That framing isn’t spin, it’s the lived reality he and his family have faced, and he used the stage to argue that what happened at Mar-a-Lago was part of a broader campaign of lawfare.
Doocy’s cameras lingered on the grounds and on details Eric proudly pointed out, even highlighting how elements from Mar-a-Lago have shown up at the White House under his father’s watch. Liberals screamed about “tacky” symbolism, but the American people can see what most of the press won’t admit: a family taking pride in its legacy and in a property that’s also a living monument to the promises they campaigned on.
Predictably, snarky outlets and online critics tried to minimize the moment, attacking book signings and gloating over manufactured optics instead of engaging with the substance of the claims. Those attacks only underscore the point Eric makes in his book — when you threaten the establishment, the establishment uses everything it has to push back.
For conservatives who want to cut through the media fog, the Doocy-turned-tour offered something rare: transparency, conviction, and a refusal to be cowed. Whether you agree with the Trumps or not, it’s patriotic to defend the right of any American family to tell its story, to protect its property, and to stand up to an overreaching government.
