Eric Trump to Donate Book Proceeds to Turning Point USA
Eric Trump announced on Saturday that he will contribute a part of the earnings from his upcoming book, *Under Siege*, which is set to release on October 14, 2025, to Turning Point USA. This gesture is made in honor of the organization’s late founder, Charlie Kirk.
“Like many of you, I was profoundly impacted by Charlie’s life,” Trump shared, mentioning his commitment to donate a portion of the profits from *Under Siege* to support Turning Point USA and its mission.
The book can be bought online, with links available.
This announcement follows a day after Erica Kirk, Charlie’s widow, made her first public appearance since the tragic event. While discussing her husband’s radio show from Phoenix Studios, she expressed her determination to carry on his work, promising that Turning Point USA would grow “stronger, bolder, and bigger than ever.” Erica also confirmed that upcoming events, including the fall campus tour and the December American Fest in Phoenix, would proceed as planned.
Recently, Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance traveled to Phoenix on Air Force 2 following Kirk’s passing. Upon their arrival, Erica was seen wearing what appeared to be a cross necklace belonging to Charlie. Supporters gathered at Turning Point USA’s headquarters with flowers, balloons, and posters while a bagpiper performed “Beautiful America.”
President Donald Trump announced that Charlie Kirk would be posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal, the highest civilian honor, in recognition of his contributions. A White House tribute video described him as “a fearless patriot and an unshakable man of faith who dedicated his life to America.”
Fundraising efforts are also underway to support Kirk’s family and establish a permanent monument at Utah Valley University. Kirk, who was tragically shot at the first stop of the “American Comeback Tour,” leaves behind his wife, Erica, and their two young children. The suspect in the shooting has been identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who is currently in custody.
