Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man by Mary L. Trump
not2useful's review
5.0
From all the tell-all books about Donald Trump this is by far the best. The author has a unique point of view. Not just for being part of the family, but also for having Phd in psychology.
The book is very well written and can be even touching in some points, especially when she talks about her childhood and death of her father and how should have being for him and the others grown up with a father figure like Fred Trump.
Quite frankly, this book make me feel thakful for my own family, despite being in lock down for the last four months thinking that I was going a little mad sometimes. At least there is no Fred Trump on my family.
Besides being a great insight in understanding the motivations behind Trump's actions. The book get extra points for being the first, that I readed that mention the Covid-19, the murder of George Floyd and Baby Yoda( that was a tremendous meme until six months).

This book just reaffirmed for me the reasons I am scared to have Donald in the White House. Mary Trump approaches this through the lens of a clinical psychologist and attempts (and succeeds) in explaining a lot of the irrational and wild behavior that we see now on a more public and extreme scale due to Donald's presidency. The family he & Mary grew up in is toxic, cruel, and completely sociopathic. Screw, Fred Trump Sr. ! He is the reason all of his family members are so fundamentally damaged! He's the reason Donald is a sexist, racist, sociopathic moron who doesn't care about anyone, but himself and money (Money is the center of all the issues in the family honestly). If you want an informative book on our "president" in order to be prepared for the coming election, PLEASE READ THIS BOOK.

Amazing how little of the book is about Donald Trump. Feels like I just read someone’s therapy notes

DNF at... 50%? A little more, a little less? Honestly, I think I just quit reading because I got bored. I only started reading out of mild interest, so I didn't really care about continuing once I got the information I wanted. I think I just read about his childhood and a little bit after and after that I didn't really care. I could probably finish this if I wanted to, but I've kind of lost interest.

As enlightening as it is horrifying
Its amazing what the inside take of a shattered man can provide. Approaching the topic from the clinical as well as the intimately involved provides a scope of understanding that is heartbreaking and maddening.

Short and interesting first person perspective inside the Trump family dynamics. A good psychological analysis of how it came to be.
