No, it wont sway any diehard zealots but every cut, every sling, every arrow contributes to tearing that orange muthafucka down.

Every Presidential election cycle, PBS Frontline does an excellent review of what their investigators believe makes the two main candidates tick, delving into their upbringings and other key events in their lives. Although we can expect a new one coming up, this could be worth a revisit before then.
The trailer itself in hindsight is chilling. Two items that struck me in particular:
At the start, Hillary Clinton: “This isn’t reality television. This is actual reality.”
Towards the end, Omarosa: “…every critic, every detractor, will have to bow down to President Trump.”

Oh man. That quote from (I assume) the back cover makes trump out to be an object of pity. Perhaps the cruelest thing that Mary Trump could do.

Dahlia Lithwick has this interesting take on the book. She says the focus is, as much as anything, on the motivations of Trump’s enablers.
Mary Trump describes endlessly growing circles of people who think they can manage him, only to get sucked down by his awfulness. She seems to be offering a solid explanation for the widely observed fact that everything Trump touches dies.

I’m actually looking forward to reading this book. Not just because it’s written by an educated person, but because it attempts to focus on the root causes of his messed up psyche. We all know he’s abhorable - but why and how did things go SO wrong?

He is a pitiable and broken man. But he’s also a monster with incredible power, propped up by others who are amoral opportunists at best, or monsters themselves. So I have no pity.

Off-topic, but I’ve not tried Warrior Nun yet. Would you recommend?

If nobody reads the book then The Real Estate Swindler is an ok guy.

I hear that there’s an addendum chapter that describes how paranoid Trump thinks all judges rule against him.

Money. If he was born into a working-class family we wouldn’t be in this mess.

I’ve been gagging for three years. I wish some judge would release me.
