Too Much and Never Enough by Mary L. Trump

This book gives insight into why the Trump family – and Donald in particular – are the way they are. I don’t think it’s vital that people read this, but it is interesting.
What a horrible family. And now they’re going to destroy the world.
And I get it – we’ve had similar characters in my own family (but without money). Escaping their influence is hard to do. They make it hard to do.
One thing I found confusing: the names. There’s a Friederich, a Fred, a Freddy, and a Fritz. There’s Mary Sr, Maryanne, and Mary Jr. and of course Donald and his son Donald. Ivana and Ivanka. I mean, I get it. Those are their names; nothing the author can do about that. But it still makes for confusing reading.
