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.”

I heard Rush talking about this. He speculates she’s mad because she pretty much was left out of the will.

Did she write this while she was drunk? She’s supposed to be a life counselor. Who in their right mind would even consider her as their analyst when she’s proven herself an ingrate, and a person who will tell people’s secrets for money? She exposed herself more with this book than she did anyone else in her family.

Truth is growing up Donald idolized Freddy. Often said he was the best looking and most likable of the brothers. Credits Freddy with his not drinking and smoking. Admits he should have done more to encourage Fred as a pilot. A TWA pilot was a big deal.

"I know the libs are having a field day with this on Face Book."

They go off every time a new book comes out. They will burn themselves out, and then move on when the next supposed "tell-all" book is published. They are so shallow that they grasp on to anything because they hate the President so much. They are like kids on Christmas Day, that play with their new toys for a short while, and then toss them aside when something new distracts their attention. They're looking for instant gratification, think they get it, then realize it really didn't do the trick, and then wait, panting, for the next tidbit to come forth.

Supposedly, Maryanne, Trump's sister is in the book.

When white evangelicals such as Jerry Falwell Jr. started endorsing Donald for president, Maryanne, a devout Catholic, allegedly remarked, “What the fuck is wrong with them?”

“The only time Donald went to church was when the cameras were there. It’s mind boggling. He has no principles. None!”

If MaryAnne is a devout Catholic, hard to believe she doesn't see anything wrong with partial birth abortion, which rightly should be called infanticide.

As far as going to Church, he may not have, but he had favorite evangelist pastors who he talked with for over 20 years.

“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.”

Such an obviously deranged statement unconnected to reality that it reflects on Mary, not the president.

Everything else – and I mean every sentence – in this NYT article reveals absolutely nothing.

Yawn.

Let me just get this out there.

We did not vote for a career politician.

We did not vote for a head pastor or chief physician.

We did not vote for a president that can read from a teleprompter eloquently scripted speeches vetted by a coterie of sycophants and ideologues.

We did not vote for a president who would scrape and bow in front of world leaders and apologize for America’s “failings”.

We did not vote for a limp-wristed, hand-wringing, bed-wetting, pearl-clutching, panty-waist, metrosexual milquetoast.

We voted for a hard-nosed, ass-kicking, street-fighting businessman who would put the interests of his country above the fragile sensibilities of our enemies and fair-weather “friends”.

Every black eye, every kick in the teeth, every insult and affront this president gives to the enemies of our freedom only makes us appreciate him all the more.

The democrat party, the GOP elites, the totalitarian globalists, the deep state, the EU, big media, academia, big entertainment, big sports and all their sycophants, toadies, junkies and groupies have clearly demonstrated that they are committed, visceral enemies of our Creator-endowed rights and freedoms.

Their howls of disdain and shrieks of opprobrium are music to our ears.

In those days you took your SATS at your school with your teacher in charge. There is no way that could happen.

Well that does it!

He’s off my Christmas card list.

He probably cheated when he got to shave Vince McMahon’s head.

Yes, her SAT story fails the plausibility test. Colleges that accept transfers care about your grades at the previous institution, not SATs. Could he have paid someone to take the SAT before he went to Fordham? I’m skeptical. If you’re going to pay someone to ace the SAT for you, you’ll likely aim higher than Fordham.

Good point. I took them in an assembly hall with the entire class. There were four teachers present.

Any attempt would be met with “James, you are not Donny, now leave the room immediately or I’ll call your mother and you know what that means”

My mom remembers seeing him all over the NY society pages when she lived in NYC in the 60s. She said he was a handsome young man.

One of the first times I ever heard of Trump was a rapper on the Arsenio Hall Show talking about how much he admired Trump.

“Id love someone in the Biden family write a tell all about him..like hoe he was supposedly drunk the night his wife and kid were killed in the car crash, yet he blamed it on someone else ruined their”

This is a horrible story.

Biden went around blaming someone else, saying he was drunk, when it was not true.

The Biden camp even acknowledged it was not true when challenged, but Biden continued to use the false slanderous narrative on the stump.
