U.S. Has Become Like Trump’s Dysfunctional Family

Mary Trump told the Washington Post that watching the country’s leadership devolve into “a macro version of my incredibly dysfunctional family” was one of the factors that compelled her to write her book, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.

Mary Trump said she blames “almost 100 percent” her grandfather, Fred Trump — the family patriarch whom she describes as a “sociopath” in her 214-page memoir of sorts — for creating the conditions that led to Trump’s rise and, ultimately, what she views as his dangerous presidency.
