Boris Johnson, the former British Prime Minister, has released a memoir titled "Unleashed," where he shares his optimism about the potential return of Donald J. Trump as U.S. President. While Johnson distances himself from direct comparisons with Trump, he acknowledges the frequent analogy between his support for Brexit and Trump’s "Make America Great Again" movement. In interviews promoting his book, Johnson acts as a transatlantic advocate for Trump, aiming to ease concerns over a possible Trump resurgence. Having personally interacted with Trump during his premiership, Johnson presents a defense of Trump's positions on various issues such as Ukraine, trade, and tax policies. Notably, Johnson brushes past the January 6th Capitol riots, calling the event terrible but swiftly returning to his favorable view of Trump's potential leadership. Published by the Rupert Murdoch-owned HarperCollins, Johnson's memoir explores his past and possible future in politics, alongside the possibility of Trump regaining the White House.
