Mary Trump Book


Latest Tell-All Trump book of the month hits fan

According to widely distributed pre-publication excerpts, President Trump's niece wrote in her new book that "it would be the end of American Democracy" if her uncle were to be re-elected in November. (AP)

The latest truth-about-trump book is out, “Too Much And Never Enough – How My Family Created The World’s Most Dangerous Man”. It was written by family member and living witness Mary Trump, PhD, a licensed Clinical Psychologist. It should certainly be must read for all MAGA types, who are the most unlikely to do so. As White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany was seen saying on July 7, 2020, “I’ve not seen the book, but it’s full of falsehoods”. [see Note at end]

This is certainly not the first, and probably not the last, insider book exposing ‘the real Donald Trump’ and his regime. Any one of them could contain error, they cannot all be false when they all basically agree.

For a number of reasons it is unlikely I will read it. Excerpts and reviews will be salacious enough for me. For starters:
Mary Trump levels scathing criticism of the President in her forthcoming book, accusing him of ‘hubris and willful ignorance’ dating back to his early days.”
Other selected quotes from her book include:
..the cruelty serves as a way to distract both from us and himself.”
The lies may become true in his mind as soon as he utters them, but they are still lies. They are just another way to see what he can get away with; and so far he’s gotten away with everything.”

From what I now understand the book is an exposé of the life and secrets of the Trump family dating back to the real entrepreneur of the clan, Fred Trump. Growing up in such a family, Mary Trump says, created the person known as Donald John Trump. From all reports, and any detached observation, both input into and outcome of the subject of the book for any actual President is “unprecedented”.

One reason I will not read the book is that much about the corruption of the family and incompetence of ‘the Donald’ is already publicly known. As said, this is just one more in a long list of tell-all books and reports on the reality behind the facade of Donald J Trump. At least two books by reputable psychiatrists have preceded this one. Mary Trump promises merely to ‘put flesh on the bones’. For example:
We must dispense with the idea of Donald being a strategically brilliant person, understanding media and politics. He doesn’t have a strategy, he never had. It was a fluke he won the election. He never thought he was going to win.”

Main reason I wouldn’t read it is that I probably wouldn’t understand the dynamics of such a family. My childhood influences were the opposite of his. If my parents ever disagreed about anything I do not to this day know what it would have been. I don’t suppose such a childhood environment serves well as preparation for the world of Too Much and Never Enough.

Note: As this blog is written Mary Trump is being sued for violation of 20-year old Non-Disclosure Agreement and thereby embargoed from public statements. However, there is no public record of which I am aware of any claim content of book contains “falsehoods” or suits for libel. The court has ordered that publication cannot be constrained. Publisher has completely fact-checked [the best example being specific naming of man who took SAT for Trump] and “stands by” content.
