Fun fact: If you google "Bastille Day 2020" you'll see a fireworks show, and

Mary Trump's book will also go on sale that day.



I have it pre-ordered. Can't wait!

1. I won't buy it unless they put Sarah Cooper's picture on the cover.

I'd love to read the book, but having to look at his face? No way!

2. I have it preordered, too.

I'm looking forward to reading it.

The dynamics in that family has to be very toxic.

To think that the family as a whole - from his kids, exes, siblings, etc. acquiesce to his every demand or whim is mind boggling. I guess you could understand an employee fearful of him, but his family? All of them, save Mary?

Then throw in both branches of the Republican Congress - elected members with huge egos, their staff, Governors, local politicians, the RNC, various business associates, so on and so forth ...

I am so damn curious to gain insight to his childhood. I bet his parents were afraid of Donald.

Maybe old Fred kept bailing Donald out financially because Donny blackmailed or extorted it out of the old man. That sounds exactly like Trump.

As an aside ... there are people like us, I don't mean Democrats, but people who do not bow, or cave to him. Like us, the Lincoln Project, Justin Amash, Kasich, Hollywood ... we are not afraid of him. I'm not afraid of his Tweets, or his lawyers, etc. Beside not worried about being primaried, why are we so different?

Anyway, I wish the book was already here.


PS: It's the wee hours of the morning. I can't sleep. I know my post got long winded. My apologies. I have a doctor's appointment at 8am, and I'm kinda worried about it. >sigh<

3. He's such a fucking coward.....

I'm an old fat guy WAY, WAY out of shape.....

But I'm CERTAIN I could kick his ass so bad he's be eating his meals out of a straw for 6 months.

5. No apologies. I hope your appointment goes exceedingly well. Your amazement

at how many people he gets to quake in fear and just bend to his command is shared by Mr. Maru and me. It's BIZARRE at the very least, especially when you consider how dull the man is. Baffling.

7. Exactly! And the majority of them far exceed him intellectually

and in education and experience. Yet, they quake at his feet.

But he's ruthless, with no conscience. I'm sure many people who have encountered him over the years (especially his early years) thought he was an ordinary businessman, where a handshake meant something. I wonder how many times he told someone "You have my word", only to sucker punch them later. I'm glad I've never met him.

My doctor called after 6 this morning to cancel. Her brother passed away last night from Covid-19. She was crying, I feel so awful for her. Damn pandemic!

4. even back then he looked like he needed a punch in the face

6. I pre-ordered and have a little mystery

After ordering, Amazon listed "Sponsored products related to your purchase", which was mostly fancy nuts of various sorts -- peanuts, cashews, pecans -- dipped in toffee or chocolate or what have you. Any ideas on why fancy dipped nuts are associated with this book? Anyone else have the same experience?
