If I bought a book everything some triggered liberal wrote one to insult Trump, I'd be broke. Nah, I'll keep the money, lol.

Read it or still reading then?

Still.
Informative, IMO, because I'm a passionate genealogist and amateur family historian. But I have yet to read anything that I'd consider "new and explosive revelation". Let's just say that it, along with John Bolton's book and Michael Cohen's yet-to-be-published book, support my stereotype of and bias against Individual #1.

Here's an i/v.

Mary Trump on her Uncle Donald: ‘I used to feel compassion for him. That became impossible’

 

[Terry Sampson]

In my view, although Donald's father (the author's grandfather) is certainly portrayed as "Villain Extraordinaire") in Mary's book, it's interesting (to me) to note that Fred Sr. was the second of three children and first of two males, whose father died in the great Flu Epidemic of 1918 when Fred Sr. was 13 years old. Fred Sr.'s father left his widow and three kids very well off financially and it was his mother who worked with Fred Sr. and depended on him to step up to the plate and handle affairs.

How Trump became the way he is was never a big mystery to me. I've encountered people like him before. They weren't a big mystery, either. And it is hard to feel compassion for them when they have chosen to feel no compassion for anyone else.

So you know her personally?

Ditto on that. Even Trump himself admitted that he was a terrible father and that even Melania might not shed a tear of he died.

BTW, Joseph Kennedy, father of John, Bobby, and others, was also of that same kind of mold. Basically, it was win, win, win, and do so at any cost with him.

Enjoy your self-imposed ignorance. I know that Trump counts on it as essential.

That's an interesting observations because it shows that win at any cost is not the only important part of the picture or maybe even the most important part.

Do you?

 

[fantome profane]

Do you?

The relevant question is does she know Donald Trump personally. And yes, she does.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

It's definitely on my reading list. I think her take on him is spot on.

 

[metis]

Do you?

Maybe actually reread what both of us posted as it is you, not I, who have attributed dishonesty to her. OTOH, I never said she's right or wrong on anything.

IOW, all you threw up with the above is a smokescreen to c.y.a.
