Trump Endorses Tyrus Book on 2024 Election With Presidential Foreword

The president promotes “What It Is, America” by Fox News personality Tyrus, praising the former wrestler's early prediction of Trump's 2024 victory.

AMERICA — Donald J.Trump posted on Truth Social on June 17, 2026 at 11:05 PM EST, posted on Truth Social on June 17, 2026, promoting a new book by television personality Tyrus, by mentioning the source (see amazon) with a direct purchase link. The book, titled “What It Is, America,” features a foreword written by Trump himself and focuses on the 2024 presidential election through the lens of Tyrus’s political commentary. Trump praised Tyrus for predicting his 2024 election victory well before November 5, 2024, quoting the commentator as having said, “Why we are talking about the 2024 Presidential Election? It’s OVER. TRUMP is going to win, and everyone knows it. It’s a waste of time to talk about it. They’re not going to beat him, and they never will.” Trump called the book “fantastic” and described Tyrus’s insights as “strongly rooted in Common Sense and Love for our Country.” Tyrus, whose real name is George Murdoch, is a former professional wrestler turned Fox News personality who serves as a regular panelist on the late-night show “Gutfeld!” (see wikipedia.org). Born on February 21, 1973, in Boston, Massachusetts, Murdoch first gained fame in WWE under the ring name Brodus Clay before transitioning to a career in television commentary. He previously authored the 2022 New York Times bestseller “Just Tyrus: A Memoir” and a 2023 follow-up titled “Nuff Said” (see Google). The endorsement is consistent with Trump’s broader pattern of promoting media figures and commentators who publicly align with his political narrative. According to an analysis of Trump’s Truth Social activity, 118 of his 660 posts over the past 30 days have focused on elections and domestic politics, with 95 of those specifically addressing the 2024 and 2026 election cycles. The book cover, which accompanied the post, features Tyrus posed in front of an American flag with the foreword credit prominently displayed. Tyrus retired from professional wrestling in August 2023 after losing the NWA World’s Heavyweight Championship, a title he had held since November 2022 (see wikipedia.org). His transition from the wrestling ring to political commentary on Fox News and its streaming platform Fox Nation has made him a recognizable figure in conservative media circles, and Trump’s endorsement of the book further cements that public association between the two figures (see forbes.com).
