The book, co-written by Ed Martin and Brett M. Decker,[3] describes Trump's anti-establishment stances on the following issues:

One argument the book makes is that Republicans who do not support Trump would wind up helping to elect Hillary Clinton instead of him.[4] It also argues that Republicans and independents ought to "unify behind his candidacy".[5] (See Buckley Rule.)

The book's publication followed Schlafly's tussle with the board of the Eagle Forum after she unilaterally endorsed Trump's presidency.[1]
