In New Book, Trump's Niece Describes Him as Still a Child, Seeking Attention.
The release of Mary L. Trumps Too Much and Never Enough has been widely anticipated.
'President Trumps niece describes him in a much-awaited tell-all book as a child in an adults body, someone psychologically brutalized and damaged by his sociopath father and who developed defenses of anger and distrust to mask his own chronic insecurities.
Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the Worlds Most Dangerous Man, by Mary L. Trump, presents a portrait of the president familiar to readers of other books as a transactional narcissist and accidental commander in chief.
But Ms. Trump, a clinical psychologist, offers a particularly dark picture of Mr. Trumps father and her grandfather, Fred Trump Sr.
From the beginning, Freds self-interest skewed his priorities, Ms. Trump writes. His care of his children, such as it was, reflected his own needs, not theirs. Love meant nothing to him, and he could not empathize with their plight, one of the defining characteristics of a sociopath; he expected obedience, that was all.'>>>
