Because Trump would be the most dangerous man in the world
The definition comes from the niece of the US president, who thus entitles the most anticipated and controversial biography of the moment. It will be released on July 14, despite the attempted stop to publication.
We already knew something. For example, certain maneuvers to evade the tax authorities emerged from an investigation with which the New York Times won the Pulitzer. But also of the misogyny that periodically explodes in phrases to say the least unhappy, such as "Women are aesthetically pleasing objects" (taken from the book "Trump101: the way to success", by Donald Trump).
There is still a lot to tell about the president of the United States and her niece Mary Trump, a 55-year-old psychologist, is ready to spill the beans. There are only a few days left until the release of what, according to the news in the newspapers, is announced as a shocking book. The White House, for now, shrugs and labels the content as "fake". To inhibit its circulation, Robert Trump, the president's younger brother, had initiated a legal action that only worked for a few hours: the suspension order of a New York judge was withdrawn by an appeals court the next day. The original release date, July 28, brought forward to 14.
And so the go-ahead for the portrait of "Uncle Donald": glimpses of family life that promise to illuminate a beacon on the private life of the president of "America first", to understand his public conduct. Title: «Too much and never enough. How my family created the world’s most dangerous man "(" Too much and never enough. How my family created the most dangerous man in the world "). The image sketched by Mary Trump is that of a dysfunctional core, dominated by her father-master Fred: an entrepreneur shark who saw money and little else.
Fred was also the name of Mary's father, her author, who certainly has reasons to harbor anger towards her grandfather and uncle Donald. For the psychologist's father, in fact, the real estate company that made the Trump fortune was not a priority, in contrast to the common feeling of relatives. Fred junior wanted to be an airplane pilot and he succeeded, to the anger of Fred senior over a firstborn who refused business. This is where the heir Donald comes into play, becoming the favorite son to be entrusted with a fortune. A fallback, Mary suggests: “the second son was a spoiled inept. However, the choice was now made and Fred could not help but continue to support her by foraging him by any means ».
His ungrateful son, Fred junior, died at 44, an alcoholic and isolated from the Trumps: none of them were with him when they hospitalized him for a heart attack linked to alcohol abuse. Brother Donald, in particular, was in the cinema.
For Mary, the tenant of the White House is a "monster" forged by her father, in the image and likeness of him. Same love of money; same harshness and lack of empathy, according to the author. Grandfather Fred wanted his children to be "killers," explains Mary Trump: obedient to their father, ruthless with the world.
For the psychologist, Trump's character has been heavily affected by this model of parenting. She recognizes his success but also a propensity to lie, deceive, measure everything in dollars, including human beings or personal goals. What cannot be achieved with sweat can be bought. And here Mary Trump tells of when, to pass the entrance exam at the University of Pennsylvania, Uncle Donald paid a person who took the test in his place. Even his victory in the elections for US president against Hillary Clinton was merely a ploy, according to his niece, who describes it as "a stroke of luck", as well as "the worst night of my life".
Poisoned tooth of course, but Mary Trump worked extensively in Manhattan psychiatric hospitals. In these pages there is also her gaze as a clinical psychologist, on an uncle whom she defines as a narcissist and sociopath: "a weakling who must reinvigorate his fragile ego continuously, because he knows he is nothing of what he says he is" .
The book is an attempt to analyze the psychological profile of the president, starting from the roots: "In him - he writes - we find all nine criteria used to identify a narcissist, but there are other serious personality disorders that will never be possible. identify with precision in a scientific way, because he will never accept to undergo the necessary tests ».
The biography is also the opposite of what she Mary promised: years ago, she signed an agreement in which she assured her never to reveal certain family events. This was the starting point for Robert Trump's failed legal action to stop the book. But she says it was time to talk.
