Book Blurb Of The Week


Publishers Simon and Schuster's blurb on Dr. Mary Trump's book about her psychologically damaged uncle, the "world's most dangerous man":
"Mary Trump spent much of her childhood in her grandparents’ large, imposing house in the heart of Queens, where Donald and his four siblings grew up. She describes a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships, and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse. She explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who currently occupies the Oval Office, including the strange and harmful relationship between Fred Trump and his two oldest sons, Fred Jr. and Donald.

A firsthand witness to countless holiday meals and family interactions, Mary brings an incisive wit and unexpected humor to sometimes grim, often confounding family events. She recounts in unsparing detail everything from her uncle Donald’s place in the family spotlight and Ivana’s penchant for regifting to her grandmother’s frequent injuries and illnesses and the appalling way Donald, Fred Trump’s favorite son, dismissed and derided him when he began to succumb to Alzheimer’s." (our emphasis)
As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Trump speaks with knowledge and authority about what shaped the monster occupying the Oval Office.

The Daily Beast reports that malignant narcissist and crime family boss Donald "Bunker Boy" Trump is threatening to sue his niece for violation of a 2001 nondisclosure agreement that allegedly covers publishing anything related to him. Trump often uses threats of legal action to stifle damaging or unfavorable stories about him. Before the 2016 election, he threatened to sue the many women accusing him of sexual assault; the suits never materialized.

The book, "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man," is due out later this summer and is available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other outlets.

BONUS: In other book news, operating under Trump's direction, Trump's defense lawyer and toady, William "Low" Barr is going to court to stop the publication of former National Security Advisor John "The 'Stache" Bolton's book, "The Room Where Shit It Happened." He must have some very unpleasant things to say about his former boss.
