Summary In this revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J. Trump and the toxic family that made him, Mary L. Trump, a trained clinical psychologist and Donald’s only niece, shines a bright light on the dark history of their family in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the world’s health, economic security and social fabric. Mary Trump spent much of her childhood in her grandparents’ large, imposing house in New York, where Donald and his four siblings grew up. She describes a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse. She explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who currently occupies the Oval Office, including the strange and harmful relationship between Fred Trump and his two oldest sons, Fred Jr. and Donald. A first-hand witness, Mary brings an incisive wit and unexpected humour to sometimes grim, often confounding family events. She recounts in unsparing detail everything from her uncle Donald’s place in the family spotlight and Ivana’s penchant for regifting to her grandmother’s frequent injuries and illnesses and the appalling way Donald, Fred Trump’s favourite son, dismissed and derided him when he began to succumb to Alzheimer’s. Numerous pundits, armchair psychologists and journalists have sought to explain Donald Trump’s lethal flaws. Mary Trump has the education, insight and intimate familiarity needed to reveal what makes Donald and the rest of her clan tick. She alone can recount this fascinating, unnerving saga, not just because of her insider’s perspective, but also because she is the only Trump willing to tell the truth about one of the world’s most powerful and dysfunctional families.
Too much and never detached I listened to this in 24 hours. It is a bit like Dallas the 1970s oil tycoon soap with JR.
The author, and reader, Mary Trump, POTUS’s niece certainly has an axe to grind or at least wield. Clearly there is no love lost between her and DT and she seems to put a lot of emphasis on the cause of her father’s untimely death due to alcohol related illnesses on her father’s pathological relationship with his own father, Fred, and younger brother DT.
The author is a clinical psychologist and although she comments on the difficulty of examining family dynamics if you are a part of the family it doesn’t stop her indulging in a lot of analysis and psychological understandings of what is going on. I am a retired consultant psychiatrist and was able to understand her points but clearly she was far too emotionally involved for her observations to be very helpful.
It is a bit of an unrelenting attack on DT and since I am no fan of his I enjoyed it. Clearly more heat than light.
ccd 15-07-20 A True Story A must for every voter, you can understand why the Trumps tried to stop the publication. A dysfunctional family leading to a very dysfunctional and poor president
John k 17-07-20 too much is too much I don't care for Donald Trump , With that said this book is really about Mary how she would take all insults and degredation to eat at the same trough as the rest of this appalling family . It is mostly about Mary feeling hard done by because her father squandered the fortune he was given . and her being left out of a Will. very little about DT we did not already know . waste of a credit .
J. Wexler 16-07-20 A view of a dysfunctional family, dominated by a control freak. Basically the story of Fred Trump Sr. And the dysfunctional and controlling way he dominated his family.
This is the same story as any of another Sociopathic men who due to childhood trauma, become merciless predators on their families and society.
The result is the same. Theft, greed cruelty are engaged in and spread like disease, creating a family wide nightmare.
While the book is a focus on Donald Trump, it is actually a blueprint for Dysfunctional parents and families, raising and creating dysfunctional children.
FKblue 16-07-20 Worth a listen for greater insight into the monster! Delighted that Audible released this recording on the same release date as the book. Great that narration is by the author. Don’t be disappointed in the information, this is a reflection of her father’s life and death as she experienced it as a child and young woman and how the Trump family dynamic and dysfunction impacted on all family members. Couldn’t stop listening, well written and narrated. USA needs to elect a new president in November 2020!
Emma 17-07-20 Well worth a listen For anyone interested in the psyche of the current US President. The author being both his niece and a clinical psychologist gives a fascinating insight into why Trump is the way he is, where the hyperbole, arrogance and dishonesty comes from. The sort of book you can listen to in one day, if you’re not busy. Was this review helpful for you?
Disappointed I bought this book as the author is a clinical psychologist and I thought we would get an experts insight into the disturbing behaviours Trump displays. However, the majority of the book focussed on the history of the family. I know this has shaped the person we see today but for me the balance was the wrong way round. Wish “The dangerous case of Donald Trump” authors would publish an updated version. I’d love to hear what they have to say 3 1/2 years into his surreal presidency.
I R romance lover UK 17-07-20 Fantastic read and terrifying. This is a very eye opening story. There are people who should have to be tested and licensed to have children. Fred Trump shoukd never have been allowed to parent anyone.
Fleetwoodboy 16-07-20 Worth a listen to if you want proof from the family Well written, well informed and so enlightening about the Trump . Always to the point of her blurb and book descriptions.
R. Vowles 16-07-20 explosive and powerful oh my God everyone needs to read this. an expose of the toxic upbringing that created Donald Trump. Was this review helpful for you? Helpful
