Former President Donald Trump is not pulling any punches in his latest book, “Save America.” In it, he dubs his 2018 summit with Vladimir Putin as “a GREAT meeting,” proving once again that Trump is unabashedly confident about his foreign policy interactions. As if that wasn’t enough to get folks talking, he issued a not-so-subtle warning to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg about keeping his hands clean in the lead-up to the 2024 election. The former president’s message is clear—Zuckerberg better think twice before pulling any election meddling stunts like the infamous $400 million donation spree that seemed designed to drown out conservative voices.
This third installment of Trump’s coffee table series is more than just a collection of photos and anecdotes; it’s a reminder of the battles fought and won during his presidency. Trump reflects on the backlash he encountered over his Helsinki press conference, where he supposedly dared to give Putin the benefit of the doubt over U.S. intelligence. The irony, of course, is that while he faced criticism for a perceived lack of patriotism, the big tech giants like Zuckerberg were busy stacking the deck against him. The former president attributes his 2020 loss to Zuckerberg’s financial shenanigans, which he claims tilted the election in favor of Democrats in key battleground states.

Scheduled for release on September 3rd, “Save America” is not just another memoir but a vivid stroll down memory lane filled with snapshots of Trump’s favorite moments, including meetings with global power players and sports icons. Among the more riveting sections is a dramatic recounting of an assassination attempt he faced during a Pennsylvania rally. Quite the turn of events, with Trump describing a bloodied scene while asserting that his faith kept him feeling secure—talk about an endorsement for divine protection amidst the chaos.
The book doesn’t shy away from targeting both friends and foes alike. Trump uses a captioned photo to make fun of Liz Cheney’s past requests for “baskets of goodies,” a playful jab at a woman who took a hard turn against him. It’s almost as if the former president is issuing an unsolicited lesson in loyalty and consequences—something most conservatives found amusing, if not cathartic.
It’s no surprise that the book includes Trump’s musings on foreign policy, especially given his charming past rapport with leaders like Putin and Xi Jinping. While he draws fire for cozying up to autocrats, he firmly believes that strongman tactics should be met with strongman tactics. As Trump argues, during his presidency, Russia respected US sovereignty, proving that a little tough love may be the best approach on the international stage. Whether opponents like it or not, Trump is sticking to his guns and making it clear that he intends to carry this distinct brand of leadership into the 2024 election cycle—it’s either shape up or ship out for anyone who dares to cross him.
With all of this drama, anticipation is building for the book’s release, as it promises to serve not only as a nostalgic reminder of Trump’s tenure but as a battle cry for supporters ready to rally around their benched MVP. With prices for signed copies skyrocketing, it looks like America is still keen on the Trump brand—just as long as Zuckerberg stays in his lane.
