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.”

What proof does she provide that Trump paid someone to take his SAT test?

The book is only 200 pages. Not much about the life of a man in his 70s. She bad mouths her grandfather in the book. Probably influenced by her mom. Supposedly tbe Trump family did not like Freddys wife.

Unfortunately many people, especially younger ones, do not understand anything about business. Public schools and labor unions spread what you describe all the time.

I’m guessing she heard this information from her bitter mother, but who knows.

And does it really matter?

Besides leaving a woman to drown in his car, we do know for a fact that the revered Ted Kennedy was expelled from Harvard for paying a schoolmate to take his Spanish final for him. The liberals still slobber themselves over Teddy to this day.

Biden did it in law school. He admitted it.

Joe is plagiarizing Obama when he says he’s going to transform this country. That was Obama’s motto.

Mary would have been 16 when her father died. Why didn’t she and her mother go to hospital with father.

Trump was born in 1946 and would have taken his SATs around 1962. Niece Mary wasn’t born until 1965. So she’s either repeating the stories of an alcoholic father or she is confusing her uncle with Teddy Kennedy who famously had others take tests for him.
