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 Worlds Most Dangerous Man is slated to be published next month.

I think Simon and Schuster will push it out early. It's on its third printing (or was as of Monday).

(149,699 posts)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.

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.

(9,426 posts)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!!
