Preface....Saturday morning....The following are three tweets from the hero of evangelicals....from last evening...."I am the ultimate member of the Book of the Month Club. First I have lowlife dummy John Bolton, a war mongering fool, violating the law (he released massive amounts of Classified information) and an NDA in order to build badly needed credibility and make a few dollars, which....(second tweet)....will all end up going to the government anyway. Next up is Mary Trump, a seldom seen niece who knows little about me, says untruthful things about my wonderful parents (who couldn't stand her) and me, and violated her NDA. She also broke the law by giving out my....(third tweet)....Tax Returns. She's a mess. Many books have been about me, some good, some bad. Both happily and sadly, there will be more to come!" I've read over seventy of those books. May God open our eyes to this man. May we see how we have been fooled by a false prophet. We deserve him....we almost begged for a man like this....we watched as he destroyed people....we let his greed change us....we let him take our eyes off of Jesus....we let conspiracies theories....both secular and religious....overtake our minds....all this done with the help of ignorance....but even worse....almost drowning in evidence that this is a very troubled man....we refuse to open our ears....and our eyes....and our minds....preferring the darkness over the light.
MARY TRUMP'S BOOK
You don't have to like her....and you don't have to agree with her politics.....but Mary Trump's book reads like any other book out there based on a dysfunctional family. I don't agree with her on many things but as she describes her life in Fred Trump's extended family....she seemed like someone who was humble and honest....and who cared for a family that did not particularly care for her. One thing her book proves is that not only does all the money in the world not buy happiness....but it can create destructive people.
Most of us who actually have read about Donald Trump had known about this episode for quite a while....but Donald Trump's niece gives the whole story in her book....Too Much And Never Enough....How My Family Created The World's Most Dangerous Man. Here is just a summary of what happened but you would need the entire 'beginning-to-end' from the book to fully understand what transpired.
Fred Trump had died.....Mary and her brother Fritz received a copy of the will....of which they were both left out....with the exception of a bequest....reported in other books as $250,000....that was given to every grandchild. Their father Freddy was Fred Trump's eldest....and originally presumed to be the son that would eventually take over the business from Fred....but Freddy did not have the same coarse....(to put it mildly)....business mentality as had Frederick the Elder....or Donald The Younger.
It appears that you could not be a normal person in this family without having either to clam up....or change into what Fred wanted....or be tormented by psychological abuse. Donald excelled....Freddy failed miserably.....and the other three hung on and adapted.
Freddy seemed to have a lot going for him.....as a talented airline pilot....with other interests than money....but that profession was nothing more than a glorified taxi driver to Fred. The son could not handle the pressure....became an alcoholic....and died young....the death scene from book resembling Act Two in a Shakespearean tragedy.
Back to the will....as I mentioned....you need the full story from the book....but Mary and Fritz....after questioning how the will came about....and having Donald's fingerprints on it....and after having the family turn against them....unwisely settled on what they were told was about $30 million left by Fred Trump. It turned out later that it was probably closer to a billion dollars.
Mary's grandmother.....Donald's mother....had turned against her.....probably having no idea what had fully taken place. The four siblings were going to split the inheritance four ways....instead of five. They eventually sold Fred's empire....and each made about $170 million on that....but Freddy's kids got nothing more....because unfortunately Freddy was dead.....in body and in memory.
Can it get worse than this? Yes. As the siblings were 'negotiating' with Freddy's children....on the settlement of the will....and the family being irate....they withdrew the health insurance for Freddy's kids.....something Fred had stipulated be given to every member in the family.....and this as Fritz's infant son William lie in a hospital....with a life-threatening disease....needing that health care!
OK....that's but one story....dealt with later in the book....but a story that those of us who actually defy the mind control of Donald Trump....and read books....knew for a long time.
Mary is a liberal and makes no bones about it. The book begins with some heavy psychology addressed towards Donald.....and continues when necessary throughout the book. The author has a right to do this as she is a PHD....and this is her field. She adds political opinion....primarily in the last chapter.....but in between these two dalliances.....is one long story on Mary's life....on her relationship with Fred Trump's entire family....and how her father was tormented by both his father Fred and his brother Donald.
We see Donald Trump in the book.....as he was as a son....and as a brother....and as a person....thus the contempt. We see the lies and the cheating that many other authors had described in their books. Fred Trump seems to takes up as many words as does Donald. As you read through the 211 pages of Too Much And Never Enough....I should say....if you would dare sneak around other conservatives and evangelicals to read about the real Donald Trump....and if somehow you also knew that he has never changed....not since he was a youth who was just as mean and bullying....and if you would then consider how this is our president....it might just make you agree with me.....in demanding that Republicans in the Congress tell him that he must go after his four years are up....give America a chance to heal somewhat from the division that he is a big part of....and hopefully use the remaining six months dealing with the tremendous challenges that are here now....with worse yet still to come....without a reelection to make him even more susceptible to risk....and to temptations for more glory.
