I've been on my own since 18 years old. Never had to live in my parents basement. Good Bye.

Thats not the worst thing he has done. He's all about money.


" Even when it comes to a sick baby in his family, Donald Trump is all business. The megabuilder and his siblings Robert and Maryanne terminated their nephew’s family medical coverage a week after he challenged the will of their father, Fred Trump. “This was so shocking, so disappointing and so vindictive,” said niece Lisa Trump.

I haven't read into this story so their may be more to their relationship, but it seems kind of opportunistic to market a book targeting your own uncle for money and attention. Maybe that's not her purpose but with so many others coming after him, it appears to be done for reasons that are not noble or justified.

Better to hold your tongue in these positions.

Melania would be wise to get out now instead of waiting for Trump's loss in Nov. She has to think of Barron's mental health. She's probably worried sick the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Melania Trump Figures It’s Time To Sit Barron Down And Tell Him He Was Bred For His Organs

(disclaimer: this is satire from The Onion)

I'd like to see the subset of those who bought both books (and however many other books have been written about Trump in the last 3 years).
Ive read some of it. All the juicy bits everyone knows already, but it still makes for some interesting reading to be honest. The writing is ok, but so far hasn't been great. Neither was boltons. But not as bad as some books I have read.

Now we can here stories for the next 2 weeks of "Trump did this" per this fiction book & have it posted here as fact.
It’s not that kind of book. It is a history of the family from a psychologist’s/family member point of view. It is a fascinating story. I read my copy in 2 days. Once I finished the book, I totally saw why Trump is the way he is. We are all shaped by growing up amid our families. There is quite a bit of sadness in the story, especially about Freddy, Trump’s brother.

It’s too bad more Trump supporters won’t read it. It is extremely well written. I seem to be the only poster on here who has actually read the book.

Almost everyone I know knows their uncles. Some love them, some don't. Either way, they are an important family connection to them all.

Its sad you missed out on so much of any family's life. It must be very lonely and isolating to have such a fractured family.
We weren't fractured at all.
We grew up to be independent thinking people, and though we loved one another, we all were brought up to take care of number one first.
The immediate family unit was close, but distant relatives were just that, distant.
Never missed that 'closeness" with relatives, because it never existed in the first place.
Nothing sad, or dysfunctional about that.

Back then, I'm talking the 50's, being gay was not something that was talked about like today.
It was frowned upon.
If that was dysfunctional, then I guess most families with a gay member were also dysfunctional back then.
I don't feel we ever thought of our family as dysfunctional, just extremely independent of one another.
As kids we were taught responsibility for one's self, all the while knowing should we stumble along the way, the family was there for us.
I , as well as my siblings have had very successful lives because of how we were raised.

None of us in out later years would ever have thought of disparaging one of us, or our relatives as this Mary Trump has done.
Now THAT is dysfunctional.
