Donald Trump Jr. teased fans on Twitter with a preview of his upcoming book. However, it did not take long for social media users to realize that the cover contained grammatical errors.
Trump Jr. shared a photo of his next book, and according to Axios, the eldest son of President Donald Trump worked on the book during the quarantine period with plans to self-publish it during the Republican National Convention (RNC) week in August.
The full version of the cover reveals the book’s full title, which reads Liberal Privilege: Joe Biden and the Democrat’s Defense of the Indefensible. Many internet users pointed out the error that the apostrophe should come at the end of “Democrats.”
Journalist Garrett Graff pointed out the issue in a tweet, and also wrote that “best selling” should also contain a hyphen in between. Graff also explained that there should also be a comma in his name before the term Jr.
Other Twitter users were also critical with the book cover with one user writing, “Are you reprinting the cover? Just for grammatical accuracy?”
Thrilled to announce that during the last few months of quarantine, I’ve been working on a new book, LIBERAL PRIVILEGE!

Do you think we should tell @DonaldJTrumpJr that there’s a typo on his book cover? He means “the Democrats’ defense of the indefensible.” pic.twitter.com/SVSEiThDjn

I see you’re deliberately not showing the glaring apostrophe mistake on your book cover.

Just to clarify: There are actually three typos on @DonaldJTrumpJr’s new book cover. Best-selling should be hyphenated and there should be a comma before Jr., e.g., Donald Trump, Jr. https://t.co/vswmKSbzmQ

Are you reprinting the cover? Just for grammatical accuracy? Asking for a friend...
