Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man

Description: Too Much and Never Enough by Mary L. PH.D. Trump The extraordinary inside story from Donald Trumps only niece of the factors that helped make the US president into the worlds most dangerous man FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Mary Trump spent much of her childhood in her grandparents large, imposing house in New York, where Donald and his four siblings grew up. She describes a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse. She explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who went on to occupy the Oval Office, including the strange and harmful relationship between Fred Trump and his two oldest sons, Fred Jr. and Donald. A first-hand witness, Mary brings an incisive wit and unexpected humour to sometimes grim, often confounding family events. She recounts in unsparing detail everything from her uncle Donalds place in the family spotlight and Ivanas penchant for regifting to her grandmothers frequent injuries and illnesses and the appalling way Donald, Fred Trumps favourite son, dismissed and derided him when he began to succumb to Alzheimers. Numerous pundits, armchair psychologists and journalists have sought to explain Donald Trumps lethal flaws. Mary Trump has the education, insight and intimate familiarity needed to reveal what makes Donald, and the rest of her clan, tick. She alone can recount this fascinating, unnerving saga, not just because of her insiders perspective but also because she is the only Trump willing to tell the truth about one of the worlds most powerful and dysfunctional families. Author Biography Mary L. Trump holds a PhD from the Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies and taught graduate courses in trauma, psychopathology, and developmental psychology. She lives with her daughter in New York. Review Mary draws a portrait of a surreal, scarred clan... But the fact that Donald morphed from huckster to celebrity to president makes her account seminal and indispensable. Marys clarity, training, discipline and sharp eye help make her a reliable narrator, and shes a fluid, witty writer to boot. Everything in her book that Im familiar with is spot on. There is plenty in the book, however, that I wasnt aware of, and I suspect thats the reason the president and his siblings have gone to court to try to halt its publication -- Timothy L. OBrien * Bloomberg *Trump claims to be unique, exceptional, a shining self-creation. This book by his estranged niece demolishes that myth. Mary Trumps ruthless memoir blames their family for creating him: she sees it as her patriotic mission to "take Donald down", and she does so by showing how derivative and dependent the ultimate self-made man has always been... In a startling final condemnation, she charges that his "craven need for revenge" on opponents makes him, in his nonchalance about coronavirus in New York, responsible for what she calls "mass murder" -- Peter Conrad * Guardian *Mary Trumps compelling saga of one very unhappy family does more than just provide probing insights into her uncles disturbing inner world. Its also a first-rate primer on the chaotic inner workings of an administration that has shocked the world by failing to take the basic steps required to keep Americans safe during the coronavirus pandemic * Boston Globe *The most devastating, most valuable and all-around best Trump book since he started running for president. In the vast Trump literature, this one is something new...[W]hat this book does do is help us understand him, offering the most incisive rendering yet of why he is the way he is. * Politico *A delicious tell-all that does in fact tell all in a way one longs for a tell-all to do * Vogue *Dripping with snideness, vibrating with rage, and gleaming with clarity - a deeply satisfying read * Kirkus (starred review) *Mesmerising beach reading and a memorable opposition research dump... It is salacious, venomous and well-sourced... Yet the narrative remains compelling * Guardian *[A] deftly written account of cross-generational trauma...Mary Trump brings to this account the insider perspective of a family member, the observational and analytical abilities of a clinical psychologist and the writing talent of a former graduate student in comparative literature * Washington Post *After many, many Trump books, this is an essential one * Vanity Fair *You can see why President Trump doesnt want anyone to read this thing. It gives the lie to many of his most cherished myths about himself * Los Angeles Times *Mary L. Trump comes closer than anyone to describing the making of a seemingly heartless person who won his way to the White House...[A]n insightful, well-crafted memoir * CNN * Review Quote Mary draws a portrait of a surreal, scarred clan...
