More details on Mary Trump's book from the Daily Beast:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/mary-trump-book-claims-trump-praised-her-breasts-and-his-own-sister-called-him-a-clown/



Too much to excerpt.

Trump commenting on Mary's breasts when she was in her 20s.

Trump's sister calling him a clown, and the two of them sniping at each other during a phone call when he reacted to mild criticism from her by suggesting she wouldn't be a judge without his help.

Trump commenting at a family dinner in 2017 that he'd barely known who Eric's wife Lara was till the campaign, though they'd been together for 8 years.

She is his niece by blood.

Well, what can we expect. He salaciously admired both his daughters' breasts, the younger one when she was just a baby. (He was, cough, anticipating.)

He's really creepy.

It's just awful. I wonder if it was in front of other people, at some family function... It raises all sorts of questions.

Giving her underwear, too, is just inappropriate and strange not to mention cheap.

“After the election, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un, and Mitch McConnell, all of whom bear more than a passing psychological resemblance to Fred, recognized in a way others should have but did not that Donald’s checkered personal history and his unique personality flaws make him extremely vulnerable to manipulation by smarter, more powerful men,” Mary writes. “His pathologies have rendered him so simple-minded that it takes nothing more than repeating to him the things he says to and about himself dozens of times a day—he’s the smartest, the greatest, the best—to get him to do whatever they want.”

limited, small human being...and extremely dangerous because of the power given to him. How long before we find out all the myriad ways his pathologies have enriched his family and endangered the US? Because I don't see him doing much else...

In light of this information, I hope people, who haven't been paying attention so far, revisit all the stories of his vindictiveness (McCabe fired one day before pension activated for example), demand of loyalty, thumb on the scale of justice, paying for hiding truth, mysterious fondness for evil dictators, habitual lying, threats of turning the power of the WH against critics, threats against the media, calls for violence, enlisting foreign adversaries for personal gain, and determined efforts to undermine competing authority and institutions (WHO, Inspectors General, NATO, congress, scientists, DOJ, governors, EU, etc etc).

I especially hope those entrusted with 25th amendment remedies think hard about the last 4 years, given what they now know. No excuses for not protecting your country. Anyone think Trump cares about fair elections or even elections in general? Or does anyone think he won't burn everything down to protect himself psychologically, physically, legally?

(Where's Bolton? Kelly? Sessions? Ryan? Cohen? Won't someone lay it out for those not paying attention? I don't think they really have, so far)
