The author of the book, “Who Could Ever Love You,” Mary L. Trump, from whence came the following; and also the author of the international number one best seller “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,” and the “NY Times” bestseller “The Reckoning: Our Nation’s Trauma and Finding a Way to Heal.”

She holds a PhD from the Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies at Adelphi University.

She also writes a newsletter “The Good in Us “ and is the host of “The Mary Trump Show” on YouTube.

“Over the years, Annamaria watched Donald evolve into an even more arrogant adult with a widening cruel streak.”

“By second grade he was already known as a troublemaker who contradicted his teachers and resorted to physical violence when he didn’t get his way. He treated students who were smaller and weaker than he was, and his teachers, with the same contempt with which he treated his family. After he finished seventh grade, despite my grandfather’s (Fred) place on the board, the school administrators made it clear that other accommodations had to be made for Fred’s obnoxious middle son.”

“ Instead of fixing the problem, moving Donald to another school only transferred it elsewhere … He (Fred) was happy to delegate the responsibility to the staff at New York Military Academy, a boarding school in central New York State that was essentially a rich kids alternative to reform school.” “Everybody in the family, especially his mother, was relieved when Donald was sent away.”

“The least worthy, the most vile among us had won it – again. ( Mary, on the election) I could barely move beneath the weight of the unfairness of it all.”

“The piece (in The NY Times”) . . . Detailed the myth that Donald was self-made, legitimate, or successful. . . This would have ended the career of any other politician.”

“Four years after E. Jean Carroll first brought her defamation suit against Donald Trump, she prevailed, to the tune of $88.3 million . . . But E. Jean demonstrated a level of courage and integrity that reduced Donald to the petty, vengeful sexual abuser that he is. And she did this simply by showing and telling the truth.” (Mary L. Trump)

Yet there are millions of our fellow citizens who don’t want to know the truth, are in denial, and who, it seems, admire the man who General Kelley said, “Donald Trump is the most flawed human being I’ve ever known.”
