I hung out with Mary Trump yesterday...

...a mutual friend brought me along to her book party (she couldn't have an in-person event when TOO MUCH AND NEVER ENOUGH was published last year). Interesting discussions on politics (local and national) and the state of publishing industry.

I'm mostly kidding.

But it would be very cool to hear what she's thinking these days, and for that matter, what you're thinking.

about 25 years ago where Trump’s sister a former federal judge was the featured speaker and she was very impressive. In fact, Mary taped her Aunt the judge who was appalled at her brither Benedict Donald’s actions.
