Family business: Trump fears latest damning memoir - this time by his liberal niece

(Snip)

“This is one of the worst nights of my life,” the president-elect’s niece, Mary Lea Trump, wrote on Twitter. “What is wrong with this country? I fear the American experiment has failed.”

She has presumably had many more bad nights since. It emerged this week that Mary, a clinical psychologist from Long Island, is to publish an unflattering memoir about her uncle entitled Too Much And Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.

D’Antonio commented: “It makes her someone that Donald would fear on a very elemental level. She thinks for herself, she’s analytical when it comes to humans and she can express herself, so this is a nightmare for him.”

I think he’s freaking out. He will treat her savagely
Mary, also a certified professional life coach, joined Twitter in December 2012 – her bio currently states, “#blacklivesmatter, 🏳️?🌈,she/her/hers” – and is following accounts that would do any New York liberal proud: Planned Parenthood, Greenpeace USA, the National Center for Transgender Equality. She also follows Democratic politicians such as congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and liberal actors including Stephen Fry, Mark Ruffalo and Kerry Washington.

She actually seems quite likeable so far. And not just because she hates her uncle. smirkymonkey Jun 2020 #3

Watch how he interacts with women reporters at his pressers -- condescending, hostile, petulant. He can't stand to be challenged by a woman who appears smarter than him, which is pretty much all women.

She's well educated, liberal, seems reasonal and rational. And she is a natural beauty, unlike the rest of the garish, over-done, plastic surgery dependent Trumps in Donald's line.

I am actually looking forward to reading her book. I think there will be a lot in there that we have not previously heard.
