Mary L. Trump

Un retrato revelador sobre el presidente Donald Trump escrito por su sobrina Mary L. Trump, psicóloga clínica e hija del hermano mayor del presidente de Estados Unidos, firma estas memorias en las que expone la oscura historia de su familia para explicar como su tio se convirtio en el hombre que ahora amenaza la salud, el tejido social y la seguridad economica mundial.Siempre demasiado y nunca suficiente. Como mi familia creo al hombre mas peligroso del mundo describe los traumas, las relaciones destructivas y como la tragica combinacion de abandono y abusos forjaron al hombre que hoy ocupa el Despacho Oval. Ademas, explica sin tapujos la extraña y nociva relacion entre Fred Trump y sus dos hijos mayores, Fred Jr y Donald.Como testigo de primera mano de innumerables comidas e interacciones familiares, Mary aporta un ingenio incisivo y un humor inesperado a los a veces sombrios y a menudo frustrantes eventos familiares. En las casi trescientas paginas del libro, Mary narra todo con detalle, desde la posicion central de su tio Donald en la familia hasta las frecuentes lesiones y enfermedades de su abuela, o la terrible manera en la que Donald, el hijo predilecto de Fred Trump, lo menosprecio cuando empezaba a sucumbir al Alzheimer.

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.
