Bolton held out thinking he would make a bundle on his book and he is a traitor. Mary Trump was never subpoenaed to appear before Congress like Bolton was, BUT she did leak information to the NYT regarding Trump's taxes. Say what you will, but there is NO comparison. https://www.businessinsider.com/mary-trump-presidents-niece-publishing-book-tax-docs-help-nyt-2020-6

I've read Donald didn't have much use for his brother, either. Mary has probably been waiting to avenge her father's death for years This book will drive Trump even more insane than he already is. Couldn't come at a better time.

Came out before the primaries... and the GOP voters didn't seem to mind. You would think it would have ruined him. But the white Evangelicals still say how he's God's chosen one.

And btw, being that rich is a real pathology.

a person whose character had been assinated constantly for 30 years.

People now see what he is like, the constant lying, the dysfunction with everything that he touches, the unbounded greed.

The book will move the needle for two reasons, it will make it impossible for him to attack Joe's character and have it stick. Second, people that now believe that they may not vote for him will turn the "may not" into an "absolutely will not".

SHE was the primary source for The New York Times’ investigation into Trump’s taxes.

One of the most explosive revelations Mary will detail in the book, according to people familiar with the matter, is how she played a critical role helping The New York Times print startling revelations about Trump’s taxes, including how he was involved in “fraudulent” tax schemes and had received more than $400 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real estate empire.

I've maintained all along that we don't know much of anything about his mother and that his relationship with his mother scarred him equally as much as the one with his father. He probably felt betrayed by her because a mother is supposed to protect their child and maybe she didn't. She went along with shipping him off to military school and who knows whose decision it was to do that.

Either way, someone as mentally damaged as he is most certainly had a traumatic childhood.
