New York Times bestselling author Donald Trump Jr., son of the 45th President of the United States Donald J. Trump and the leading candidate in the Republican Primary for President visited Illinois on Friday where he spoke at the McHenry County GOPAC ([link removed]) event in Addison to talk presidential politics and to promote Letters to Trump as part of a 4-stop, one-day book tour.

​​Donald Trump Jr. was visiting Illinois in his capacity as co-founder of Winning Team Publishing and as an invited special guest to promote Letters To Trump – a bestselling book and only the second official one since President Donald Trump left office. The book is a fascinating and rare collection of letters from some of the world’s most recognizable names including Oprah Winfrey, President Richard Nixon, President Bill Clinton, now-King Charles, Princess Diana, John F. Kennedy Jr., Sen. Ted Kennedy and North Korean President Kim Jong Un.
Donald Trump Jr. was in Illinois on Friday to promote the bestselling book, Letters to Trump.
In Addison, the first event of the day where over 350 people packed into Venuti’s Banquet Hall to hear the former first son speak, Trump Jr. didn’t disappoint.

“I didn’t realize there were this many sane people in Illinois,” said Trump Jr. to a room full of laughter, before launching into his attacks against President Joe Biden; a struggling economy; a weaponized Department of Justice; a failed foreign policy strategy; and Hunter Biden’s addictions and corrupt business dealings.

Trump Jr. drew even more laughter when he said, “I understand that I’m the son of a billionaire from Manhattan. And if I’m at the grocery store with sticker shock – that’s a serious problem.”

During his 25-minute speech, Trump Jr. encouraged supporters of his father not to give up or give in to the pressure from the left.

“They want you to curl up in a ball and die, that is their win and they want you to think that it’s hopeless…They want you to think that there is nothing you can do.”

After the speech, Trump Jr. met with the media where he answered questions and addressed why he was visiting Illinois despite the Democrat’s control of the state.

“It’s not just trying to pick the states that you can win. It’s also picking the places where you can make a difference and perhaps move a needle in the congressional count and so all of that matters.”

Trump Jr. is an unapologetic supporter of the 2nd Amendment and last year, he launched the 2nd Amendment Task Force ([link removed]) – whose mission is to stand up against the radical left policies of the Biden Administration and “mobilize freedom-loving Americans to fight back.”

In April of 2022 when Trump Jr. launched the group, he told
Fox News Digital ([link removed]) ,

“The Second Amendment is the whole ballgame; it’s the freedom that protects all of our other freedoms. Unfortunately the Biden Administration and Democrats in Congress are hellbent on eroding our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms, whether it’s nominating radical gun-grabbers to senior positions in the executive branch or pushing anti-gun legislation.”

Trump Jr. concluded,

“The Second Amendment Task Force is entirely devoted to ensuring the Left is never successful in disarming American citizens.”

In
September ([link removed]) , the ISRA offered country music star Jason Aldean a complimentary lifetime membership after protestors burned American flags and chanted anti-American slogans in protest of Aldean’s number one hit song, ‘Try That In A Small Town.’ The scenes outside of Aldean’s concert in the suburbs of Chicago drew national attention and videos of the protestors burning flags and taunting the patriotic country music singer immediately began circulating on social media.

“Jason Aldean’s song, Try That In A Small Town, which hit number 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart has generated a lot of buzz, and even more controversy, but the lyrics represent what we’ve been fighting for as an organization for the last 120 years – and that’s the lawful right to protect yourself, your family and your community from danger. It’s not about promoting violence – it’s about preventing violence and allowing law-abiding citizens to defend themselves and others from those who wish to do harm.”

The organization then concluded their statement with,

“We applaud Jason on his success and standing up for our 2nd Amendment rights. As a token of our appreciation, we are honored to offer him a complimentary lifetime membership with the ISRA.”

On January 10, 2023, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) signed legislation banning so-called assault weapons, making Illinois just the 9th state to enact one of the strongest assault weapons bans in the country.

On January 18, 2023, the ISRA filed a federal lawsuit opposing Gov. Pritzker’s unconstitutional assault weapons ban.
