Donald Trump suffered ‘child abuse’ at the hands of his father, his niece claims in book

Donald Trump suffered ‘child abuse’ at the hands of his father, the President’s niece will claim in her explosive memoir.

Mary Trump will write that ‘love meant nothing’ to Fred Trump Sr and he only wanted obedience, which the President was forced to give him.

She will write that Donald’s mother became ill when he was two years old, leaving him with ‘total dependence on a caregiver (Fred Sr) who also caused him terror’.

Neglected by his workaholic father, Mary claims the President ‘suffered deprivations that would scar him for life’.

The back cover of her book will read: ‘Today, Donald Trump 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.’

Simon & Schuster released the back cover as it announced they are releasing Mary’s memoir Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man two weeks early.

The book will now come out on July 14 instead of July 28 due to ‘high demand and extraordinary interest’ which has pushed it to No. 1 on the Amazon best seller list.

The memoir is still the subject of a legal dispute between Mary and the Trump family and a hearing is scheduled for Thursday before a judge in Dutchess County, north of New York City.

The back of the book reads that ‘child abuse is, in some sense, a matter of ‘too much’ or ‘not enough’.

It reads: ‘Donald’s mother became ill when he was two and a half, suddenly depriving him of his main source of comfort and human contact. His father, Fred, became his only available parent.

‘But Fred firmly believed that dealing with young children was not his duty, and kept to his twelve-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week job at Trump Management, as if his children could look after themselves.

‘From the beginning, Fred’s self-interest skewed his priorities and his care of children reflected his own needs, not theirs. He could not empathize with Donald’s plight, so his son’s fears and longings went unsoothed.

‘Love meant nothing to Fred; he expected obedience, that was all. Over time, Donald became afraid that asking for comfort or attention would provoke his father’s anger or indifference when Donald was most vulnerable.

‘That Fred would become the primary source of Donald’s solace when he was much more likely to be a source of fear or rejection put Donald in an intolerable position: total dependence on a caregiver who also caused him terror. Donald suffered deprivations that would scar him for life.’

Mary, 55, is a psychologist and her publishers say she has a unique insight into what makes the Trumps tick.

She spent much of her youth in her grandparents’ house in Queens, New York, and had a front row seat to her ‘toxic’ family.

The book is also expected to reveal that Mary was the primary source of the New York Times’ Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation into the President’s tax history.

Mary is the child of Fred Trump Jr, the President’s older brother who died in 1981 after struggling with alcoholism

That report, published in October 2018, found the president received more than $400 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real estate empire and had been involved in ‘fraudulent’ tax schemes – crushing his image as a self-made man. 

The legal tussle over the book centers around a nondisclosure agreement that Mary signed 20 years ago to settle a dispute over the estate of her grandfather Fred Sr.

The Trumps argue this prevents her from writing a memoir, but she disagrees.

Simon & Schuster have already revealed other details from the book, including how in the Trump family ‘financial worth is the same as self-worth; humans are only valued in monetary terms’.

The book will reveal that ‘a ‘killer’ instinct is revered, while qualities such as empathy, kindness, and expertise are punished.

According to Mary, among the Trump family ‘taking responsibility for your failures is discouraged’ and ‘cheating as a way of life’.

In an affidavit filed last week, Mary claimed she relied on ‘false valuations’ from the rest of her family to determine the amount she got from Fred Sr’s will.

Mary has previously alleged in a lawsuit the Trump family took advantage of a mentally incapacitated Fred Sr to all but cut her and her brother, Fred Trump III, out of his will.

The siblings are the children of Fred Trump Jr, the President’s older brother who died in 1981 after struggling with alcoholism his whole life.
