My uncle Donald Trump is a monster. The most dangerous man in the world ": the revelations of her niece Mary in her book-scandal
Narcissist, sociopath, dangerous, liar and serial cheat. Not at all empathetic, inattentive to family members, always looking for attention. This is how Mary L. Trump, psychologist niece of United States President Donald Trump, describes her uncle in her book scandal which will be released on July 14 and which the Associated Press has read in preview.
A fierce and merciless portrait made by the 55-year-old, who has always accused her uncle of being one of those responsible for the death of her father Fred, an alcoholic and in fact abandoned to his fate by the family. And, unlike her other grandchildren, she was cut off from her share of the inheritance when grandfather Fred Trump Sr. died. have marked the life of the woman. Thus comes the publication of the memoir "Too Much, Never Enough", "Too Much and Never Enough", in which she explains how her family created "a monster", "the most dangerous man in the world".
It is precisely that of the entrepreneur grandfather Fred the fundamental figure to understand who Donald is. Mary describes the ruthless patriarch as a "sociopath" who only cared about her interest in her, not that of her children. For them, she explains, "love meant nothing. The father expected only obedience from Donald and Fred Jr. "and ended up putting them in fierce competition, one against the other. In the end Donald prevailed, while Fred Jr. collapsed: the night he was hospitalized in serious condition - remembers his daughter Mary - Uncle Donald went to the cinema, impossible to forget. "The atmosphere of division created by my grandfather in the family is the water that Donald has always swam in, and what he continues to pursue today is precisely that kind of division, to the detriment of any other", Mary writes, explaining how Donald developed "powerful but primitive barriers of self-defense, marked by growing hostility and indifference towards others". For the tycoon “cheating is a way of life. For him, people are valued only in monetary terms, what he likes is the 'killer' instinct, while qualities such as empathy, kindness and competence are little considered by him if not punished. How to take responsibility for your failures ".
So, when there are four months left until the presidential elections in which the New York tycoon hopes to be re-elected, the psychologist predicts without half words: confirming him in the White House would be a catastrophe, the end of American democracy. This is the second muddy book to come from an 'insider' in two months, following the bestseller by former National Security Advisor John Bolton. "By the time the book is published - writes the tycoon's niece - hundreds of thousands of American lives will by now have been sacrificed on the altar of Donald's hubris and deliberate ignorance". A reference to the pandemic, while the infections in the US are over 3 million.
She then tells her that her uncle paid a friend to take the SAT for him, the college entrance exam. And that her sister, Maryanne, did her homework for her. White House spokesperson Sarah Matthews denied that Trump had replaced the test. Speaking of the tycoon’s support between Christian leaders and white evangelicals, the psychologist writes: "The only time Donald went to church was when the cameras were there. It is mind-boggling. He has no principles ”. She then returns to the death of her father, when she was 16. Trump, who rarely admits mistakes, said last year that he was sorry for the work pressure he and his father put on his brother. He then describes his uncle as a self-reported narcissist who ignored the feelings of family members, saying not to be surprised by the violent electoral rhetoric, since at family lunches he "talked about all the women he considered fat ugly or men, usually more powerful," as losers ".
In the book, a long psychoanalysis of the Trump clan, the author also recounts the progression of behavior developed in the wake of the actions of her father, demanding and 'bullying towards Donald. “Lying”, she writes, for him “was a defense, not just a way of avoiding disapproval to avoid punishment… it was a way of surviving”. The 2016 elections? Neither the author nor Donald's older sister and former federal judge took him seriously. "He is a clown, my aunt Maryanne said at one of the usual lunches, it will never happen," writes the psychologist. She then says that she has often thought of speaking publicly about her uncle, but that she was afraid of being considered "a disgruntled and disinherited niece in search of money or revenge". But after the past three years, she adds, "I can't keep quiet anymore." For the White House, however, the book collects only "ridiculous and absurd accusations that have no basis".
