Mary L. Trump

In this revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J. Trump and the toxic family that made him, Mary L. Trump, a trained clinical psychologist and Donald’s only niece, shines a bright light on the dark history of their family in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the world’s health, economic security and social fabric. Mary Trump spent much of her childhood in her grandparents’ large, imposing house in New York, where Donald and his four siblings grew up. She describes a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse. She explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who currently occupies the Oval Office, including the strange and harmful relationship between Fred Trump and his two oldest sons, Fred Jr. and Donald. A first-hand witness, Mary brings an incisive wit and unexpected humour to sometimes grim, often confounding family events. She recounts in unsparing detail everything from her uncle Donald’s place in the family spotlight and Ivana’s penchant for regifting to her grandmother’s frequent injuries and illnesses and the appalling way Donald, Fred Trump’s favourite son, dismissed and derided him when he began to succumb to Alzheimer’s. Numerous pundits, armchair psychologists and journalists have sought to explain Donald Trump’s lethal flaws. Mary Trump has the education, insight and intimate familiarity needed to reveal what makes Donald, and the rest of her clan, tick. She alone can recount this fascinating, unnerving saga, not just because of her insider’s perspective but also because she is the only Trump willing to tell the truth about one of the world’s most powerful and dysfunctional families.

How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man

Too Much and Never Enough

From the #1 bestselling author of Too Much and Never Enough: A diagnosis of America's national trauma, and a way to heal. The Reckoning will examine America’s national trauma, rooted in our history but dramatically exacerbated by the impact of current events and the Trump administration’s corrupt and immoral policies. Our failure to acknowledge this trauma, let alone root it out, has allowed it to metastasize. Whether it manifests itself in rising levels of rage and hatred, or hopelessness and apathy, the stress of living in a country we no longer recognize has affected all of us. America is suffering from PTSD—a new leader alone cannot fix us. An enormous amount of healing must be done to rebuild our faith in leadership, and our hope for this nation. It starts with The Reckoning.

Was wird aus den Vereinigten Staaten? – Die Autorin des Nr.-1-Bestsellers „Zu viel und nie genug“ stellt die Diagnose für ihr zerrüttetes Land Das Trauma der USA, tief verwurzelt in der amerikanischen Geschichte, gärt seit Jahrzehnten unter der Oberfläche der einstigen Vorbild-Demokratie. Die korrupte und unmoralische Führung des Trump-Regimes war zugleich Symptom und Verstärker der nationalen Krise. Sie versetzte der Gesellschaft einen vernichtenden Stoß: Die Katastrophe der Corona-Pandemie traf auf ein zutiefst gespaltenes, geschwächtes Land. Durch das fatale Versäumnis, das Trauma als solches zu erkennen oder es gar zu behandeln, wuchs es wie ein Krebsgeschwür. Ausbrüche von Wut und Hass, aber auch Hoffnungslosigkeit und Apathie sind die Folge. Offenkundig belastet der Stress, in einem Land zu leben, das kaum noch als das eigene wiederzuerkennen ist, alle US-Amerikaner. Psychologisch gesehen, leiden die Vereinigten Staaten an einer sogenannten posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung – und ein neuer Präsident allein kann das nicht heilen. Erhebliche Anstrengungen sind erforderlich, um den Glauben der Amerikaner an den Staat und ihre Hoffnung für ihre Nation wieder aufzubauen. Mary Trumps bestechende Analyse ist der erste Schritt in diese Richtung.
