As for his new book, Trump Jr. comments on a number of things involving his family, and even revealed that he and his brother Eric used to play video games with the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, when they were kids.
The topic arose as Trump Jr. was defending his father from accusations of racism, writing, “Oh, and by the way, given all the things my father has been called, particularly a ‘racist,’ it sure sounds odd that he’d let his son vacation with a black man or hang out with Michael Jackson, doesn’t it? If he’s a racist, he’s sure not very good at it.”

“As I was working on this book, my brother Eric walked into a bar in Chicago and a waitress there spat in his face. The Secret Service had to lead her outside before the confrontation could get worse,” he explained.
