Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man by Mary L. Trump
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Mary Trump, daughter of Donald Trump's eldest brother, gives a frank, behind closed doors look at the family that created the man who came to sit in the Oval Office. She describes an environment of lack of empathy, parents pitting siblings against each other in an attempt to gain a father's attention (never mind affection), promotion of lies and fraud. The promotion of the idea that if you have no money you are nothing - blood doesn't matter.
----
This was a quick book (clocking in at just a few minutes over 7 hours). And it was a disturbing book for anyone who has a shred of empathy and frankly, human decency. It really does explain a whole lot, though it doesn't excuse.
I am going to have to sit with my feelings regarding this book and it made me feel... mostly pity.
