Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man by Mary L. Trump
3.0
Other than Bob Woodward's 'Fear', I confess I have little interest in reading the various Trump books. I am not American and my own country's news cycle is infuriating enough without adding the US drama to my day. Nonetheless, I can't help but imbibe the drip feed of scandals particularly when they make headlines all around the world.
This book is perhaps more accurately about Fred Trump Sr, deceased father of Donald Trump. Certainly, Mary Trump does an good job of recounting the biographical details of the childhood and young adulthood of her father and his siblings. But I can't help but wonder at the necessity of releasing this book at all. As a biography, it is perhaps strongest at representing the objectively messed up family dynamics. But it would seem that the book is meant to be a screed against Donald Trump who is actually portrayed as an almost sympathetic figure.
This book is well written but I think its long term impact will be as a source of information for Donald Trump's future biographers.
