I bought Mary Trump’s book

I’m half way into the book. Much of it is just trashing her grandfather and pinning him on every failed child in the family. It’s pretty extraordinary the lengths she goes through to tear a family apart even if she uses them as victims. I am wondering why a clinical psychologist would do that. Of course there is nothing so unusual about the grandfather, he is not portrayed as doing any one thing that is cruel enough to land in a tabloid even and could be the family story of literally millions of people.
I will say this, it is not an upbringing you would expect to read about a future President of the US.

Go to Bolton’s book. They guy is brilliant. A bit hawkish I admit but razor sharp.

As I understand it, her brother and his wife had a child with severe medical problems that would cost lots and lots of money over its lifetime. Mary's father died before his father ( Trump Sr) did. Senior had planned to leave equal shares to his own kids (Donald and his siblings). Had Senior died first, Senior figured that Mary's father would have taken care of the sick grandchild in his will. So when Mary's father died first, Senior decided to change his will to set up a foundation for the purpose of paying all medical bills for everyone in that family group. Donald wouldn't have had anything at all to do with that.

A worthy read? Beyond just the complaints about his boss that have been discussed in the media?

So much of twitter is just a pipe for adults to not only act like children but make visible to so many people and encourage them to behave the same way.
Why are we so uncivil? Because our technology hardwired it into our daily living. It is our augmented reality.
