Now, am I saying that I predicted then that the Democrats would cook up the Russian collusion hoax? Of course not. How could I have thought that they were going to do something so incredible? That they would get liberals to believe a story so porous, so absurd, that if it were a movie script there wouldn’t be a producer in Hollywood who would buy it? How could I believe that those same Hollywood producers, and just about every other liberal in the country, would swallow such a scam as though it were gospel truth? Still, I knew the fight wasn’t over.

Of course, now we know the Democrats actually had begun laying the foundation of the Russia hoax months before the election. FISA warrants based on a phony dossier paid for by the Clintons gave the FBI license to spy on our campaign. Then, in January 2017, the media disinformation apparatus led by BuzzFeed began the dissemination of lies.

When I finally saw it begin to unfold, a strange sort of calm came over me. Oddly, there’s a kind of comfort that comes when the bad thing you’ve been expecting to happen finally happens. Maybe because it’s easier to fight your enemy when you can see what they’re doing rather than waiting for the unknown. I wouldn’t wish the cynicism I developed on anyone, but the whole process opened my eyes in a terrible and unfortunate way. Three years later, I think many more people have come to that same, tragic conclusion.

It was the day before the inauguration, and we were driving into Arlington National Cemetery, where he was to lay a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I rarely get emotional, if ever. I guess you’d call me hyper-rational, stoic. Yet, as we drove past the rows of white grave markers, in the gravity of the moment, I had a deep sense of the importance of the presidency and a love of our country. I was never prouder of my father than when I watched as he stood before the tomb, his hand over his heart, while the Army bugler played “Taps.”

In that moment, I also thought of all the attacks we’d already suffered as a family, and about all the sacrifices we’d have to make to help my father succeed—voluntarily giving up a huge chunk of our business and all international deals to avoid the appearance that we were “profiting off the office.”

We’re not talking about business with any foreign government agencies. This was based on the idea that we might be taken advantage of by a private business that would then have leverage on us. First of all, I don’t think Trump Org has ever gotten duped by anyone and, second, the chances of something like that even being attempted are pretty remote. Frankly, it was a big sacrifice,
