10. He also believes he's "above the law."

4. In Mary Trump's book, she said that State was pretty much decimated under his leadership
|
There were so many resignations and few applications, destroying continuity "for a generation." Not to mention, few of our allies wanted to meet with him.

7. I have both of her books, got them on audio (read by the author) and listen to them in my car
|
The first one mainly covers family history - how his parents caused TFG to turn out as he did - and the second is more political, goes into U.S. history and her uncle's abysmal administration. For the second, it's obvious she did a great deal of research. I recommend both highly.

9. Well, I do recommend it on audio, I have Jimmy Carter's autobiography on audio, too
|
Both were read by the authors which makes it a little more personal and I don't have to find the time to open a book. Keeps me company in my car and I learn something, too.
As for Pompeo, from the book, he did not make friends or influence people. He planned on taking a "victory tour," but no U.S. allies wanted to meet with him.

11. I always thought he was a pompous ass. I had no idea he was a psychopath.

12. As I said above, his term decimated the State Department

According to Mary Trump's book, there were record resignations and few applications, destroying continuity "for a generation." He also planned a "victory tour" which he had to cancel since none of our allies wanted to meet with him.

14. Wow! Thanks for sharing!
|
Shows what a disreputable human this is for him to sanction the brutal murder of an American journalist. And to sell books?!
