Mary Trump once stood up to her uncle Donald. Her book describes a 'nightmare' of family dysfunction

[Zorro]

Mary L. Trump was embroiled in a feud over her inheritance two decades ago when her uncle Donald Trump and his siblings punched back in classic style. In an obscure court filing, they belittled her, alleging that she “lives primarily off the Trump income” and is “not gainfully employed.”

Actually, Mary Trump had embarked on a new career. She studied patients with schizophrenia at Hillside Hospital on Long Island for at least six months during this period, meeting with an array of people who were delusional, hallucinatory and suicidal.

Over time, she deepened her studies of the disorder, contributed to a book on treating schizophrenia, wrote a dissertation on stalkers, and became a clinical psychologist. But not since she became part of the lawsuit in 2000 against her uncle has she spoken in detail about what she sees as the disorders of Donald Trump.

Now her silence could be coming to an end. Her book about her uncle — “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man” — is slated to be published next month.

This book is bound to be a bestseller.

3. I've pre-ordered and can't wait !!

Its gonna be a good-er. I will post interesting tidbits, too.

4. It will be a bestseller, and for all the right reasons.

Mainly because Mary Trump is a psychologist and knows what's she's talking about.

Her ability as a psychologist plus her upbringing in the Trump family give her invaluable insights into tRump's behavior. I expect the book will help seal his fate.

5. hope she's not banking on "shock value" there

a nightmare of family dysfunction for the Trumps would be the least surprising claim I've head in quite some time.

7. Mary Trump was a primary source for the NYT's Pulitzer Prize-winning article about Trump's

finances. She provided confidential tax documents, revealing the Trump family’s finances and contradicting Mr. Trump’s image as a self-made billionaire. This book comes at just the right time, it will drive Trump even crazier than he already is.

8. I never thought I'd consider buying a book by an author named Trump...

...but I may consider it now.

15. Same here

I've been limiting my consumption of books about Trump, but this one I think I will read. I am genuinely interested in how this monster came to be the person he is, something you can only hear from someone in the family. We've had to live the nightmare, we deserve to know why.

12. "Not gainfully employed", that's rich. Name a Dump kid who IS.

13. Eric's wife and Jr.'s girlfriend

each are paid $15,000 monthly from that Pac that Parscale is siphoning his money from. He has bought a mansion, condo, Lamborgini, several other top of the line cars too. They are all taking what they can get from donors. It is like highway robbery, only much, much easier. All this, while taxpayers are paying for all their travels and protection from the Secret Service. Gainfully employed? None of them know what it is like to actually work for a living. Good for Mary, for exposing the underbelly of this vile family. It appears that she got all the brains, too!!

14. Spot on! nt

[flibbitygiblets]

20. Agreed, and perhaps Mary's follow up book could be about this topic alone!
