- Mary L Trump
- 2020 Simon & Schuster
- 240 pages
I’m a horror fan, and I’m fascinated by psychology and dictators and chisme too, so this was a no brainer. Still, DAMN, Mary my girl you are bitter!!! I’m inclined to think rightly so, but you always have to wonder about someone that pissed off, know what I mean? Still, it goes with the pathology of that whole family, and I sympathize with her black sheep vibe. Sometimes it’s your only defense against the toxic crap you’re raised with. This book read like a straight up VC Andrews gothic novel, with the evil rich patriarch and insane evil heir. If it turns out some Trumps were raised in the attic I would not be surprised. And it goes without saying The Donald comes off as a total turd. Mary Trump is in full dish mode here, so if chisme and weird American Gothic family tragedies is your thing (yum!) then have at it 😎
