Google "mary trump book highlights" or something similar and you'll find reviews from multiple sources. FYI...you can DL the Kindle version now, if you have one. I finished it. It was shorter than I thought due to the many pages of indexes at the end. The final, summary chapter is especially chilling. |

The problem for Trump is she’s got a PhD in psychology or something similar- although that won’t stop him from claiming she’s a hysterical female (and a liar).
She’s actually qualified to put a medical name on his dysfunction.

She’s actually qualified to put a medical name on his dysfunction. It's well written, and contains many good points and analysis that fit precisely into the overall picture that's becoming so evident. Peeling back the layers of the onion to reveal the rotten core within. It would take a lot more than the "she's a crazy liar liar pants on fire" blanket statement to rationally refute this, but that's all that will be offered up because that's all Donald and Co. has the ability to do. |

Mary Trump's book breaks record with mammoth salesNew York(CNN)Mary Trump's tell-all book had sold a staggering 950,000 copies by the end of its first day on sale, publisher Simon & Schuster said Thursday. That figure, which included pre-sales, as well as e-books and audiobooks, is a new record for Simon & Schuster, the company said. The book, "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man," went on sale Tuesday and portrays President Trump in an unflattering light.

Interview was enlightening. She's clearly very educated and intelligent. I'm sad for her being born in that family.

She places the blame on Fred Trump who was apparently a real sociopathic asshole.
I almost feel sorry for trump. I had a mom with MH issues and saw how that screwed up two of my sisters. However, my sisters haven’t run the country over a cliff with their dysfunction.

Complete article here: Mary Trump's book breaks record with mammoth sales I'm sure the contents as well as Mary's success is going to burr under someone's saddle.... For his base I don't expect many leaving his side...just watch that posted interviews to get a idea of folks most of us here don't run into to get a taste...however, the independents, unaffiliated ones, and it seems to be happening, I expect a massive switch and support of Biden, even from those who aren't thrilled with him, yet feel a strong need to make a change...no matter who... This book and the excerpts that will be posted on different mediums will be better then the strongest anti Trump ad...and will eat away at him...and possible make him go nuts publicly when charges against him are brought up by reporters..those brave enough to do so.. I would like to see Donaldson be one of those who brings the subject up...  ... Oops sorry, me bad...Donaldson long time retired...am referring to male pictured 1st or second row..been there forever...hi respected...can't remember his name off hand, yet know if he was one to confront the Donald, expect strong reaction..plus give back bones to other reporters..ask the tough questions, though would probably mean less press conferences. {I expect Tenn to help me out here  } |

so the book was delivered to me yesterday, and i read the whole thing.
If only 10% of the book is true and what is true is embellished, all those fuckers are horrible excuses for humans.

Now I'm going to buy it. I wonder if Amazon has it. That will give me something to do this weekend. ETA: I wouldn't get it for a few weeks. It has 4.5 stars for reviews though. |

The fact that it’s a woman who is exposing his dysfunction is probably especially pissing him off. A gay woman at that. The only thing worse would be a brown gay woman from a shit hole country.
Between that and the sinking polls and not being able to throw himself the best convention ever and Cohen skipping out of jail to go home and write another tell all book, trump must be in a chronic sour mood lately.
Good, now he knows how I’ve felt for 3.5 years.

huh? I think I missed something. can you fill me in? Robert Trump, Donald’s brother, sued Mary because she signed some ND form twenty years ago in a lawsuit over her inheritance from grandpa trump ( or lack of). Also Robert sued Her publishing house to makes them not distribute copies - both suits were rejected. There could be more. Those are the two I know of. |

I knew about the NDA, and figured that would trigger a suit. so, it did. and it was rejected.
well, that's good.
