Mary Trump’s Book Accuses the President of Embracing ‘Cheating as a Way of Life’
NY Times ^ | 7/7/2020 | Maggie Haberman and Alan Feuer

Posted on 07/07/2020 12:03:05 PM PDT by CaptainK

Mary L. Trump, President Trump’s niece, plans to publish a tell-all family memoir next week, describing how a decades long history of darkness, dysfunction and brutality turned her uncle into a reckless leader who, according to her publisher, Simon & Schuster, “now threatens the world’s health, economic security and social fabric.”

The book, “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,” depicts a multigenerational saga of greed, betrayal and internecine tension and seeks to explain how President Trump’s position in one of New York’s wealthiest and most infamous real-estate empires helped him acquire what Ms. Trump has referred to as “twisted behaviors” — attributes like seeing other people in “monetary terms” and practicing “cheating as a way of life.”Here are some of the highlights from her manuscript:

Cheating on a College Entrance Test As a high school student in Queens, Ms. Trump writes, Donald Trump paid someone to take a precollegiate test, the SAT, on his behalf. The high score the proxy earned for him, Ms. Trump adds, helped the young Mr. Trump to later gain admittance as an undergraduate to the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton business school.Trump has often boasted about attending Wharton, which he has referred to as “the best school in the world” and “super genius stuff.”

“The fact is,” she writes, “Donald’s pathologies are so complex and his behaviors so often inexplicable that coming up with an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis would require a full battery of psychological and neurophysical tests that he’ll never sit for.” At another point she says: “Donald has been institutionalized for most of his adult life, so there is no way to know how he would thrive, or even survive, on his own in the real world.”

These stories must be hearsay, as Mary Trump was not even ALIVE when Trump was being beaten by Fred Sr. or taking the SAT.

I suspect it was “released early” to get it in the rear view mirror asap.

A lot of people in the NYC media might think that Trump should have been institutionalized...because he certainly drove them crazy.

Maybe institutionalized means military boarding school. It did him a world of good.

President Trump transferred from Fordham into UPenn Wharton School of Business. The SAT would have had more effect on his getting into Fordham, NOT UPenn. This also meant that he got good grades at Fordham, or UPenn would not have considered him.

Trump was even on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, plenty of pics of him yucking it up with Al Sharpton, I believe at one time they genuinely were friends.

Can’t wait for next book, on how George Washington single handedly wiped out the country’s cherry trees.

Funny how the New York Times doesn't care about the cheating perpetrated by Elizabeth Warren, Barrack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and Joe Biden.*

“Donald has been institutionalized for most of his adult life, so there is no way to know how he would thrive, or even survive, on his own in the real world.”

Who paid her publishers a ton of money to pay her for this unverifiable screed of B.S. from a disgruntled Trump family member.

Her statements are so far over the top it is a wonder why she is not now “institutionalized”.

Has anyone heard of Trump being institutionalize? What does that mean?

I think AND HOPE it means that Trump is going to suspend the constitution, put General Flynn in charge of a killer team of Green Berets, and disappear the many enemies of the state that make America their home. Bring on the purge.

I could tell you horror stories about my brother. I lived with him after college, and you would not eat out of his kitchen.

And yet, I would venture to guess that 80% of people reading this have, at one time or another, eaten food he’s produced as one of the top managers in cured meat production over the past 30 years.

Small stories about family members are really not relevant. Unless he literally killed someone.
