I found it quite fascinating. Fred Trump was a beast, and treated Fred Jr (the author's father) as little more than an appendage to be molded to his whims. In doing so, he destroyed the oldest of the Trump children who died at 42 from…

I now know why, The Donald didn't want this book to see the light of day. I just hope in the USA that they have learned Aka Republic party, that this was one leader, that should have never been. I pray that women get their rights,…

OMG, it is his fathers fault

I looked at the age gap between Mary and ‘the Donald’, she but a babe when her uncle was at MIT. I picked this up and flipped through it. Oh really, as if he was the cause of her disgruntled family life. I am still looking for proof of the…

Well written account with interesting insights to the Trump family.

I picked up this book because I was curious. I tried to enter with an unbiased mind. Mary Trump does a good job explaining the mentality and behaviors of Donald Trump.

It kind of remind me of the Jacksons, the Kennedys, & the Loves. One patriarch's Frankenstein Legacy. The name maybe trademarked, but it might have well be Quisling in market value.

This is an important book. Under the circumstances Mary’s measured and objective book is important for our times.

Dirty criminal trump is a national disgrace

Interesting content that explains a lot about Donald Trump's personality. But this author seems very angry, perhaps justifiably so after being disinherited by her wealthy family. Shocking to read about the living conditions this family…

Intelligent, thinkers will like this book. The Trump sheep will not. Anyone with a tiny bit of critical thinking ability will know Trump is nothing but a con man. He cheats at business, in marriage, even at golf. That tells you the type…

I've finished most of the book in 6 hours. It explains a lot about why Donald Trump is the way he is, and it's a very interesting read, insights from someone on the inside trained to evaluate psychiatric characteristics. I imagine she…

Excellent! I advertised it on Facebook. Previously, I read "Tower of Lies." The two books complement each other in perspectives.

Can I pick up later next week? Out of town. Thank you. August 6, 2021 or August 7, 2021. Wanda O'Connor

So glad I read this book to try and understand this man who is so destructive ... and yet continues to hold such sway over many. A sad story, a wake up call for all of us. Thank you, Mary.

Full of truth and cold, hard facts.

Good insight into the family dynamics.

This had such potential to be amazing but within the first chapter you realize its going to fall flat. A definite hit piece which is fine if the author were actually using proper facts which she doesn't. There's a lot a person can find to…

It is terrible
Apr 19, 2021akelley2020 rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
This book is excellently and brilliantly written. I thoroughly enjoyed getting some insight into the Trump family dynamics and how they created the notorious #45. Clearly, his niece felt an obligation to share her insight in hopes that we…

I admit to just skimming this obvious hit job -- a neighbor passed it on to me for my opinion -- not that interested in the subject and appalled at the subtitle --- one views the horrific human rights abuses of China's Xi Jinping and Un of…

Typical disgruntled poor little rich girl whose tiara was too tight and it's all Uncle Donald's fault. Lots of psycho babble and diagnoses....this chick has issues but they don't make for interesting reading.

I applaud Mary Trump. Great book. It confirms, what an obnoxious, self centered man Donald Trump is. The book is very well written and I hope more people will read it and learn from it. Donald Trump should never be allowed to work in…

Great book about a terrible man. Mary L. Trump, Donald's niece, grew up seeing the family dynamics that made Trump the narrow, unfeeling, dishonest, shameless fake he is--not only as a "businessman" (at which he continually failed) but as…
