They were joined by Vice President Mike Pence, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and former White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, Sen. Mitch McConnell.

“To my siblings, Eric, Ivanka, Tiffany, and Barron: Only you can understand the craziness we have experienced in the last three years,” he said.
“We learned who our true friends are, and we learned the viciousness of fake news. Nothing could have prepared us for the lies.
“We are Trumps, we don’t play the victim card, and we will succeed here as well. We are in this together,” he said.
He said that he became a hated man during the 2016 campaign when he was on the campaign trail with his dad giving speeches.
“These people are so irrational, hysterical, upset, and out looking for enemies. I should know,” he said. “I became one of their top targets.”

“After the election, I became the guy who receives the second-highest number of death threats in the country (according to the Secret Service, second only to my father),” he said, The Washington Examiner reported.
In addition to ripping anti-Trump hate, he also criticizes those pushing to silence conservatives on college campuses, the “war against Christians,” the “morons” in Congress, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s “swampy” politics, and the push to approve transgendered men competing against women in sports.
Democrats in Congress, he wrote, “had only one reason to exist, and that was to try and make my father and me cower in a corner, curl up in a ball, and die.”
He also takes on the media. “In my lifetime, the press has gone from Walter Cronkite, ‘the most trusted man in America,’ to Jim Acosta and Fake News. It’s a shame.”

He concludes by giving odds on the 2020 Democratic race. Biden is the leader, but he wrote that the former vice president “would be the easiest candidate for my father to take down.” And he cites South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg but said “he’s just done nothing to merit this kind of a job.”
