[9] Shawn McCreesh reviewed Saving America for The New York Times , stating that "while it ultimately adds up to just another cash grab for the elder Mr. Trump, it is also an exercise in branding — a way for him to present a portrait of his presidency as he would like it to be remembered." [10] Ron Charles in his review for The Washington Post calling the book propaganda and "a breathless gallery of Trump’s presidency accompanied by occasional unhinged ramblings." [11]
