Mary Trump issues blistering critique of president as narcissist in new book
By Morgan Chalfant - 07/07/20 03:18 PM EDT



Mary Trump paints a disturbing picture of her uncle, President Trump, in a forthcoming book that accuses him of “cruelty and incompetence” and a penchant for lying and cheating that dates back to when he was a young adult.

In her memoir, obtained by The Hill ahead of next week's publication date, Mary Trump offers a jarring depiction of the Trump family, alleging that the president's father, Fred Trump, was a “high-functioning sociopath” and that his treatment of his children created an “atmosphere of division” and encouraged what she describes as Donald Trump’s narcissistic, arrogant and grandiose behavior.

The book — “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,” set for release by publisher Simon & Schuster on July 14 — is based on Mary Trump’s recollections as well as conversations and interviews she has had with family members, friends, neighbors and other associates, and documents and correspondence.

Does she really think she is telling us anything we don't already know or suspect.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I think the same things about Trump that I thought when he first ran. I didn't much like him then, and I don't much like him now.
But I voted for him four years ago, and I will gladly vote for him this November..
I think her niece is probably a radical leftist who would like to see that "fundamental" change that Biden and Obama have promised.
In short, the end of democracy won't come from her uncle but from people like her.

The problem with all tell-all books is that they have plenty of accusations and claims, but little to no proof.  All Trump and the White House have to do is deny every accusation and claim.  Neither side can prove anything.  They really don't need to. 

Now after watching Trump over the last four years from my position as a Never Trumper, I am inclined to believe that Trump has some mental health issues and they may be traced to a not-so-great childhood in a home that was less than loving.  But like Mary I'm doing an armchair analysis, which, like her book, is not backed up by proof.  Mary might have education and experience in psychology, but without a professional examination, testing and evaluation, nobody really knows if those problems exist and if so, what they really are.

Don't intend to buy or read Mary's book, but I'm sue there will be many who will.  I'm curious to know whether it will be a best seller or end up on the clearance table at Barnes & Noble in about a week.

Labeling Mary a radical leftist is a brainless slander!
The driver behind her book is how her brother and herself were treated by Uncle Donald.
Fred Trump, in his 90ies was afflicted by Alzheimer's during his last 8 years of life.
Mary's lawyer informed her that she and her sibling would be treated unequally/unfairly
because they would not receive their dead father, Fred Jr's share.
This was because Donald had manipulated Fred Sr. to alter his Will using undue influence
on him as Fred Sr. suffered from advanced Dementia.

I agree, and an ignorant thing to do by Mary.   :thumbsup:    I can see why her grandfather, left her alcoholic dad out of the will.  TRUMPS still gave them money.  NOT ENOUGH.  This part of the family have always been parasites on the rest of the TRUMPS.  FRED..JR.  was an alcoholic and could not provide for his family.  Good money after bad.  WHEN,  do you cut off an addict?

Ok, we ALL have family stuff.  I will confess. I played doctor at age 5, with my 7 year old brother and my UNCLE, who was 9 at the time.  Both were older than me and should have known better, but they wanted to ''see'.  Most of us have done this, as kids.  What else?  All we need to do is look at our own family's.  NO ONE would appreciate all the family's dirt, put out there.  BTW...my brother did end up being a DOCTOR!  lol

Ditto. We knew he was a narcissist and an incredible self-promoter back then, and I had to hold my nose to vote for him in 2016 (only because I hated Hillary so much). I still think he's insufferable most of the time, but would I rather have him as president than the brain-damaged Joe and whomever is his VP running mate (who would be the actual president if he won)? You betcha.

Trump's Cultists went into spasms of rage when Mary Trump recently published, labeling her;
a lesbian, an alcoholic, a grifter, fat & ugly, a radical lefty, beyond stupid; among other niceties.
Their common theme was that any faults/flaws among Clan Trump was because the females
couldn't keep up w/the males and therefore resented playing second and last fiddle.
Hmm......... interesting, so let's explore this, examining Grandfather Friedrich Drumpft (Trump).
Born in Bavaria, he was a teen when Wilhelm 1 of Prussia, along w/Prince Otto Von Bismarck,
both of the House of Hohenzollern, unified Germany in 1871, following the Franco-Prussian War.
At the time, the Monarchy decreed mandatory conscription for all able bodied males for 3 years, as
both an integrating as well as a unifying force in a Germany which was the newest nation in Europe.
Then in 1885, as his conscription day a approached, Grand Pa Trump decided to up-sticks, leaving
a note on his pillow, boarding a vessel for NYC and then training across to the Pacific No.West.
There he got himself into the entertainment and lodging business for the mining types seeking
Gold & Silver in California and later in the Canadian Yukon.
His skills included managing gambling casinos, saloons, brothels & bordellos as well as organizing prostitution rings. His success made him wealthy so he decided to return to Bavaria in 1905
w/his then wife. Shortly after arriving, the Crown issued a Royal Decree labeling him a coward and
draft-dodger, ordering him to leave Germany permanently within weeks.
He complied to avoid lengthy prison and returned to NYC where his son Fred was born later that year. The years rolled by, then in 1918, he died from the Spanish Influenza epidemic. What was his legacy?
Anyone who cannot see his imprint on the attitudes and behaviors of his son Fred as well as, more strongly, on his grand-son Donald is dishonest as well as delusional.

Perhaps in the future you might want to provide a link.  A similar scenario is true  with the Bush family; Prescott Bush in particular who was H.W. Bush's father and "W"'s grandpappy.  The family gained wealth because of the dealings of Prescott and holding gold for the Nazi's and dealings in Germany.  Nothing was ever proven, however (supposedly).  Because one member of the family has a propensity to corruptness doesn't mean they all do; learned behavior perhaps, but doesn't necessarily hold true for all.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Mary outed herself @Absalom In interviews she blamed her family's "homophobia" (especially grandma's) for why she decided not to "come out" to her family.  If your dad drank himself to death and you're drinking beer alone by the six pack, there *is* a problem.  She *is* overweight and homely.  Mary is proud of her support and vote  for Hillary Clinton and supports and will vote for Joe Biden, making her a *self-proclaimed* radical lefty.  A 55 year old single woman making a needed buck by trashing her wealthy family *is* a grifter.  Making a couple of million new friends knowing they will discard you in 15 minutes *is* stupid -- and sad.

But by all means, continue to trash the President's supporters.

Yes, Trump isn't  ideal, but equating  him down to Biden's level is probably not the best opinion to have at a conservative forum.  A Biden presidency hasterns the destruction of this country, and it sounds like you are either okay with that, or are short on solutions or alternatives.

Hope you have your Asbestos Suit on.

Well, I've been called every name in the Trump supporter handbook, including, but not  limited to, traitor, enemy of the state and hater.  Plus, it seems the Trump supporter handbook also has a list of who or what  to blame should Trump lose.   Because I won't vote for him,  I'm somewhere on that list. 

After being vilified a lot worse on Free Republic and driven away from that site, I've learned not to care what other people think of my voting choices.  Now, if people object, it's their problem, not mine, and  they can kiss my fat rear end.  As long as I have the right to choose, I will do so. 

I am well aware that Biden is a lousy choice and I know, especially if the Democrats gain both houses of congress, they will ram through all kinds of BS legislation that will destroy us all.   Although Biden has been portrayed as a moderate or centrist, if elected president, he will sign off on all of it.  He will have to because the radicals have already taken over the party and any member who doesn't toe the party line will be out of a job.  On the campaign trail, Biden has already embraced the radical agenda whether he approves of it or not. 

but here's the thing -- even if Trump is re-elected -- if the Republicans lose both houses of congress (a very real possibility), Trump will not be able to "save" this country even if he is so inclined.  Trump has already exhibited an unwillingness to veto any legislation (except for maybe one or two bills).  But if there is a veto-proof majority in the house, any veto he might make will be overridden.  Even if he was so inclined to be America's savior, as so many of his supporters see him, he won't be saving anyone. 

I was going to skip the election in November entirely, but there is a congressional race locally and that is the race I'm going to vote in.  The incumbent Democrat is likely to win; his Republican challenger is an unknown lightweight with apparently not much of a campaign (have yet to see any campaign ads from him).  But I have to at least make an effort to prevent that veto-proof majority in the house, even though I am not likely to succeed. 

So while we are all focused on the presidential race, let us not forget about the congressional races and later, the senate race.  If both houses fall to the Democrats, it won't matter who occupies the Oval Office.  This country will be screwed.

No.  I have been accused of being a closet Democrat and a secret Biden supporter (hence, the traitor and enemy of the state pejoratives),  but I guess "leftist-enabler" will be next.    LOL
