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.”

“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 hope she and her publisher can PROVE that statement. Libel 101?

Trump has been in the public spotlight for decades. No way is her statement true.

Donald Trump's name was mentioned in over 78 rap song lyrics before his 2015 announcement to run for President, and not one mention was about race or misogyny or brutality. Most were along the lines of "wanna be like Trump".

Major rap artists would not be constantly invoking his name in a positive manner for over a decade if he was seen as someone hostile to blacks or women.

Donald Trump was 19 years old when Mary was born.
...........
She knows nothing directly about his early years, just family gossip from a family that was largely left out of an inheritance.
..........
More loose talk from Trump haters.
............
Bottom line, Donald has been famous for a long time, Mary is cashing in now to spite him in his election campaign.

“”” (this Niece is supposedly a psychologist)””””

I have had two next door neighbors who were psychologists. Both were quite out there. One was a lesbian.

If I ever need mental help I will just read some books on it and figure it out myself.

Talk to a good friend or minister. They’re just as good and won’t cost you.

Fred Trump’s death affected Donald so deeply that he has been a teetotaler all his life. Given the rich playboy show biz life he lived...that abstinence alone, from booze and drugs, show a very determined and self disciplined man.

His children seem to have been raised with the same self discipline, compare the Trumps to any of America’s wealthy families in this age

Its entirely possible young Trump went to a movie because he did not know his brother would die that night. But this kind of hurt and accusation is what tears apart families
