It was about 7 p.m. last night when the UPS guy strolled up to my door, dropping off a package without so much as a bark from my dog – who was too busy napping at the other end of the house to offer any kind of security.
Given my recent online shopping spree with Amazon, I couldn’t immediately recall which glorious treasure had arrived. But when I saw the box’s size, it hit me: “It’s Trump!” I exclaimed (to myself). Yes, Donald J. Trump’s “Save America” book had finally made its way to my doorstep, promising more excitement than a Chick-fil-A delivery from Door Dash (well, almost anyway).
After I finished watching the movie “We Are Marshall” – you know, one of those movies that holds you hostage until the end – I tore open the box. To my surprise, “Save America” wasn’t the dense and rambling MAGA manifesto I expected; it is instead a glossy coffee-table book full of photos and Trump’s iconic literary flair in captions – a rundown of Trump’s presidential accomplishments and his vision for the future.
Straight from the horse’s mouth.

One thing’s for sure: the man himself penned all the photo captions. It’s like a walk through Trump’s memory lane, with all the grandiosity, humor and snark you’d expect.
The book, 360 pages long and with gold lettering on the cover, is quite BIGLY, measuring in at 12 x 1.13 x 10.75 inches and weighing four pounds! However, it’s an easy read and, in the end, I got through all the photos and captions in less than an hour.
Mugshots, mottos, and mugging for the camera.
The book wastes no time making a statement. Right off the bat, we’re greeted by Trump saying in his ALL-CAPS style: “IN THE END, THEY’RE NOT COMING AFTER ME, THEY’RE COMING AFTER YOU – I’M JUST STANDING IN THEIR WAY.” Opposite this rallying cry is Trump’s now-infamous mugshot and autograph, sealed with the words “NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER.”
It’s a scrapbook of Trump’s best hits, set to the backdrop of some of America’s most tumultuous years (according to Democrats). Crowd size is a recurring theme. Trump takes us on a visual tour of his best-attended events, including his massive inauguration, the January 6th rally, and other gatherings that would make any rock star jealous.
Trump doesn’t hold back on taking shots at his favorite targets in the book either. One standout photo captures a frowning Pelosi, McConnell, and McCarthy in the Situation Room with the caption about the “really friendly group.” It’s as if you’re flipping through Trump’s private roast of Washington elites.
MAGA laid out – Trade, Triumphs, and Trumpisms.
The book, although not divided by section names or chapter headers, has groupings of different parts of Trump’s presidency – covering trade, buying American, illegal immigration, globalists and more – and with all of the buzzwords that get MAGA hearts racing.
It’s a keepsake album of Trump’s accomplishments and battles won, with captions that only Trump could conjure up. Trump also has some inspiring words for his MAGA crowd, encouraging readers not to take their achievements for granted, saying, “Wherever I go, I know that if I could build a skyscraper in Manhattan, I can do ANYTHING.”
Friends and family – and others.
Politicians, celebrities, and everyone in between make cameos. Friends like Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh get shoutouts, while others, like Ron DeSantis, get a playful jab about going astray before coming back to the fold. Trump’s unapologetic style shines through, even taking a swipe at Justin Trudeau with a cheeky hint that the Canadian PM might just be Fidel Castro’s son. There are also many photos of Trump’s children, grandchildren and wife Melania.
Along the way, Trump doesn’t shy away from celebrating his Supreme Court picks, his golf prowess, military investments, or the leaders he’s met – some friendly, some decidedly not. From Putin to Macron, the cast of characters is as varied as a season of “Survivor,” with Trump positioning himself as the ultimate host.
The book winds down with classic Trump moments: golf photos (naturally), family snapshots, and a final dig at Kamala Harris, whose border czar stint he brands a “disaster.” The last pages recount the attempted assassination of Trump in Pennsylvania and the crowd’s shock when he stood up – alive – urging them to “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
What the election is all about.
If there’s a page that sums up the MAGA movement and what the election is all about, it’s definitely page 97, where Trump declares, “We have become the party of Common Sense – If you want Borders, No Crime, a Strong Military, a Booming Economy, Energy Dominance, Free Speech, Honest Elections, and your Second Amendment Rights, only ‘MAGA’ can deliver all of this, and more!” It’s a rallying cry for the disillusioned, wrapped in a slick package that’s part scrapbook, part battle plan.
Good to the last page.
“Save America” isn’t just a book; it’s an experience – part victory lap, part rallying cry, and full-on Trump. It’s a flashy, brash reminder of why Trump remains a polarizing figure, wrapped up in a coffee- table book that’s more suited to flipping through at your local MAGA barbecue than poring over in a library. It’s unapologetically Trump, and love him or hate him, you can’t say he doesn’t know how to make an entrance – or write a great photo caption.
