Mary Trump reveals more information about former President Donald Trump's health in
her new book "The Reckoning."
According to The Guardian, Mary's first book "Too Much and Never Enough" sold almost a
million copies on its first day of publication.
Mary is the only member of the Trump family to break rank, and her 2020 tell-all book
about Donald did not win her points with her family.
In her first book, Mary leveraged her expertise as a psychologist to analyze her family's
behavior and how it shaped the former president.
According to The Guardian, in Mary's new book "The Reckoning," she reportedly claims that
her uncle Donald
"Is the symptom of a disease that has existed in the body politic from this country's inception."
but that has now "metastasized."
The website for "The Reckoning" says that "America is suffering from PTSD —a new leader
alone cannot fix us."
If Mary's new book is anything like "Too Much and Never Enough," it will likely be a best-seller.
According to The Guardian, Mary Trump claimed Donald Trump was "afraid" when he returned
to the White House after being hospitalized for his severe coronavirus infection.
In October 2020, Donald left Walter Reed hospital after three days of treatment, dramatically
returning to the White House.
Mary said,
"Doing his best Mussolini imitation, he took off his mask in a macho display of invulnerability.
He clenched his teeth and jutted out his jaw, just as my grandmother did when she was biting
back anger or clamping down on her pain.
In Donald, I saw the latter."
The Guardian reported that in "The Reckoning," Mary analyzes her uncle and our country from
a psychologist's point of view.
Mary said that when Donald returned to the White House after his release from the hospital,
he had a,
"Pained expression that Mary [recognized] from her grandmother, but dared not admit
his fear even to himself.
… The consequences of admitting vulnerability were much more frightening to him [Donald]
than being honest."
Mary Trump has long been one of Donald Trump's harshest critics, even revealing in "The Reckoning"
that he was "cruel" when she was just a teenager.
According to excerpts in The Guardian, Mary confessed she was "in the worst psychological
shape of my life" shortly after Donald's inauguration.
The 56-year-old sought treatment in Tucson for post-traumatic stress disorder, writing,
"I would be there for weeks, excavating decades-old wounds and trying to figure out why my uncle
Donald's elevation to the White House had so undone me."
Mary’s war with Donald goes back to her own Father’s untimely death.
He was Donald’s older brother.
Mary claimed Donald even condescendingly answered with, "It is what it is, honeybunch," after
she expressed concerns the family wasn't following her father's burial plan.
Mary was just 16 when her father died of a heart attack as a result of alcoholism in 1981.
Mary was left out of the will and eventually sued Donald citing that he had influenced
her father to alter his will.
She didn’t win her lawsuit.
Mary wrote in her first book that Donald often tortured his younger brother Robert and was
never punished for his "selfishness, obstinacy or cruelty."
He also "didn't respect" his older brother and her father, Freddy, having observed tense
interactions between him and Fred Sr. "Donald is worth 10 of you," Fred Sr. allegedly shouted
at Freddy after quitting the family business.
Donald's lack of empathy was particularly evident when he chose to go to the cinema
over accompanying Freddy to the hospital the night he died, Mary said,
"His personality served his father's purpose.
That's what sociopaths do: they co-opt others and use them toward their own ends – ruthlessly and efficiently."
Now she's concerned her uncle may run for president again.
Mary told MSNBC on August 4th that as Donald has been "getting away with everything" as
of late, it's likely he'll re-gain presidential confidence,
"[If] Donald gets the message that if he runs, he can't lose ... then I'm not so sure and
that's pretty depressing."
For those who want to read more about Mary's take on Donald, "The Reckoning" will be on
sale on August 17th.
