I was acting, per se, when I put on a suit to be in a boardroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump is a hotel and real estate executive, following in the Trump family footsteps. He is also one of the strongest advocates for his father and conservatism more broadly. At one point or an other, the eldest Trump son has been rumored to be gearing up for a potential gubernatorial or even presidential run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, I actually understand the base because I live with the base,\u201d he told the Examiner. \u201cThese are my friends. These are my people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From his <a href=\"https:\/\/donjr.com\/collections\/all\">book<\/a> to his newsletter, Trump says the messaging is resonating with the base more than ever before, especially in light of increasing Big Tech censorship and President Joe Biden\u2019s divisive move to sign more than 50 executive orders less than a month in office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re more popular with the base now than we were on Election Day, I think because they realize how bad it is. They realize the tech censorship, which we talked about extensively,\u201d Trump said. \u201cThey realize that the lies that the media sold them \u2026 They realize that they have been played. They realize that they\u2019ve been sold in a bill of goods that was nonsense. Joe Biden\u2019s not the moderate nice guy that they made him out to be. He\u2019s a puppet of the radical left, and he\u2019s their dream guy because they\u2019ll sign whatever they put in front of them, and he doesn\u2019t know the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a shortage of conservatives out there who are willing to say what everyone in the conservative movement feels and believes. They\u2019re afraid,\u201d the 43-year-old argued. \u201cThey\u2019re worried about being canceled. They care more about what some liberal at some D.C. quote-unquote \u2018think tank\u2019 thinks about them than they do the guy who just lost his job and won\u2019t be able to feed his family next week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t care less,\u201d Trump emphasized. \u201cI couldn\u2019t care less what those people think. I care about the hard-working men and women. That\u2019s what we made our campaign on. That\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last Tuesday, Trump echoed a similar sentiment while appearing on Fox News airwaves, imploring Republicans to \u201cget tough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got to play hardball,\u201d he said, as noted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/trump-jr-tells-gop-to-get-tough-if-democrats-are-playing-hardball-then-we-got-to-play-hardball\">The Daily Wire<\/a>. \u201cIf they\u2019re playing hardball, we\u2019ve been playing t-ball for generations while the Democrats have played hardball. We\u2019ve turned the other cheek as they\u2019ve slapped us in the face and laugh as they\u2019ve won every major fight along the way, while we claim some sort of moral high ground and losing everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what Donald Trump showed the Republican Party, that you can push back, that you don\u2019t have to go with their norms, that you don\u2019t have to listen to the media when they\u2019re just flagrantly putting out nonsense,\u201d he added. \u201cYou can actually push back and I hope that the Republican Party does that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
