One one hand, I'm glad she wrote it, and prevailed in the legal battles surrounding its release.

On the other, I already know that Fred was rotten to the core, Donald is a by-product of that, and the reasons for his pathology aren't going to change my opinion of him.

America shouldn't have to pay a price for what Fred did to, or didn't do, for Trump. And we have. Trump took his unhappy childhood and turned us into an unhappy nation.

Trump as President means we're not observers, we're participants. It's easy to ignore the Apprentice. Not so easy to ignore the president. So yes, what happened to young Trump shouldn't happen to any child, but a nation...and the world...should not have to pay the price for the words and actions of Fred.
