An articulate Trump!!

I am listening to Mary Trump, and it is immediately obvious that she is intelligent. She speaks in complete, complex sentences.

She speaks in long sentences, with an actual point.

And what she is saying as an insider is, of course, obvious to all who know anything about Donald Trump.

Trump is an incoherent, unqualified, idiot.

We bought the book.

2. The very first time I really listened to Trump, it was obvious that he was not that smart.

And since that time, in 2015, nothing that I have heard has given me any reason to change that opinion.

But she did say that she was asked by Trump to write a book under his name.

She also said that she spent time with him doing research.

7. Mary Trump seems straight up, concise, articulate - and a 'regular' type person.

Not a made for tv personality.

Seemed like a wise statement, that if she tried to expose her uncle earlier, it would not have [made much of a difference. Those are my words, as best as I remember her message].

Bolton's 780,000 sales the first week is very impressive. Sort of knocks aside all those snarky, critical reviews. Bolton will be read.
Mary Trump's million 1 day sales is almost unbelievable. There is a sense of timing there.

... but she was raised away from the poisonous grip of her grandfather and uncle Donald - that's the main reason. Even so, I can imagine that it has taken her a long time to get over all the trauma of her childhood.

but it is obvious that Donald Trump is severely dysfunctional. Money protected him.
