Oh Yeah, Mary Is Talking
Simon & Schuster is moving the up publication of Mary Trump’s book by two weeks. I suspect because they think Trump’s not going to last much longer than that.
There is a hint of what is to come on the back cover. Click here to read it.
I certainly hope this book does not expect me to feel sorry for him. I hear Stalin had a rough childhood, too.
I don’t about the why of Trump, just the what.
And that’s damn bad.
1And she’s writing from the viewpoint of a practicing psychologist. This will affect the whole family, his majesty, siblings, children – we will see the ants coming out of the ant hill on this one!
2“Today, Donald is much as he was at three years old: incapable of growing, learning, or evolving, unable to regulate his emotions, moderate his responses, or take in and synthesize information,” the back cover reads.
3Other people have overcome terrible childhoods, and not repeated them with their own children and their relationships with the rest of the world. It’s too bad that Trump couldn’t have been one of those. But if he has been the way he is now since the age of three, he was probably born with whatever makes him the way he is, and nobody cared enough to find a way to help him make up for his deficiencies. I wish I could feel sorry for him, but he has done SO MUCH damage over his lifetime.
4I thought I read once that Drumpf was sent to military school because he was so out of control. Even his parents wanted to be rid of him.
I don’t like Drumpf at all and I don’t expect I will read this book (he already consumes too much of my time), but I do like things that make him squirm. ALOT! 🙂
I imagine his lawyers and even our US Justice Department are working hard on some plea to the court today. Hopefully the book will leak very soon — like Bolton’s book did — so that the legal wranglings from Drumpf’s side will be pointless.
I have no sympathy for Drumpf. He is an evil, selfish man-child. And he knows who and what he is.
5It is one thing to pity the poor child, but for me that does not extend to the man. The adult will always be narcissist, but with help, he could have learned how to behave somewhat normally. It was his choice and he did not take it. I hold him totally responsible for himself.
6I believe she should have published it in Slovenia so that Melania could read it to Donald.
7Guess what? George the VI had much the same upbringing as the Donald.
Nannies would present him and his siblings to their parents for the 4 PM viewing. His father once said, “I was terrified of my father and by God, my children are going to be terrified of me.” His mother was simply a cold fish — like most of British aristocracy at the time.
When George’s [Bertie’s] brother abdicated and George became king, he led his country through WWII. His job was to be a comfort and solace in their time of need and he performed admirably. He gave hundreds of speeches — though he had stuttered [due to his fear of his parents] since he was about 5.
He had a horrible childhood and he turned out as neither Trump nor Stalin — between whom there’s not that much to choose.
8Raise your hand if you think that, if Trump could pull it off, he wouldn’t send anyone he perceives as slighting him to a gulag.
Yeah, me neither.
It’s become rather obvious that his mama should have slapped him into next week at least once.
9I ordered the kindle version. I think they could release that now. However if it’s going to be “released” next week that should mean the books are being shipped as we speak.
10One theory about psychopaths is that as very young children they were abandoned by their parents. The pain of such abandonment is so great that they shut down their ability to feel and have empathy for others. Such feelings do not return as they go on to be able to do anything. ANYTHING.
11Actually, Richard Hare – who has done the work I most respect on psychopaths – believes it’s almost entirely genetic-based. They ‘can hear (and use) the words, but they can’t hear the music’, so that they they can talk a good game but they do not understand human emotions. To them, the rest of us are just chumps and if they can use us, it’s our fault, not theirs.
From the back cover, it looks as if Ramp Boy is his father’s son. “Fred’s self-interest skewed his priorities” (I would say “skewed the priorities one would think he should have”)…classic psychopath, just one with a work ethic.
Psychopathy exists on a continuum…from the Ted Bundys of the world at one end up to the Wall Street manipulators and Nigerian ‘princes’ at the other. If you want a really good read, try Hare’s “Without Conscience”. It’s a page-turner.
12If you read the story of Trump’s grandfather, it seems they are all the same, he deserted his own country so he did not have to go to war, after the war they would not take him back, then there is the matter of the houses of prostitution in Canada, then the mob in NY and cheating the poor out whatever they had to pay his rents on substandard property in NY.There is so much to read about this family (and Kusher’s) they really epitomize evil.
13And he did the same thing to the children in cages, separated from their families…….did I see somewhere that Steve Miller’s new wife and most valuable pence person, said she felt no sadness about the children at the border……somehow these evil people find each other….I hope they have no children.
