The New York Times obtained an early copy of Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man by Mary Trump.
“It depicts a multigenerational saga of greed, betrayal and internecine tension and seeks to explain how President Trump’s position in one of New York’s wealthiest and most infamous real-estate empires helped him acquire what Ms. Trump has referred to as ‘twisted behaviors’ — attributes like seeing other people in ‘monetary terms’ and practicing ‘cheating as a way of life.'”
Among the highlights: Trump paid someone to take the SAT on his behalf which he used to later gain admittance as an undergraduate to the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton business school.
Also stunning: “Ms. Trump, a clinical psychologist, asserts that her uncle has all nine clinical criteria for being a narcissist. And yet, she notes, even that label does not capture the full array of the president’s psychological troubles.”
Writes Trump: “The fact is, Donald’s pathologies are so complex and his behaviors so often inexplicable that coming up with an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis would require a full battery of psychological and neurophysical tests that he’ll never sit for.”
