You want to buy this book even if you don't live in Idiot America.

This morning the Post Office delivered an excellent book about Fucktard Trump. I started reading it and already I know I'm going to finish the whole thing.

A quote from the book:

Today, Donald 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.

Bookstore shelves are overladen with anti-Trump books. Do we need another and what can one more book add that we don’t know already? The answer to the first question is a resounding “yes” with the book being reviewed being an example. The answer to the second is that none of the books — until this one — provides an inside vantage point that only a family member can supply. It is fair to question the author’s motives. She states “Donald, following the lead of my grandfather and with the complicity, silence, and inaction of his siblings, destroyed my father. I can’t let him destroy my country.”

In some respects, the book relieves the president of responsibility for his behavior. The president’s personality and behavior were largely due to Trump’s father. Donald Trump is an exemplar of the saying “as the twig is bent, so grows the tree.” The father, Fred Trump, was a sociopathic, cruel, bullying, serial liar, and the author shows in chilling detail how the more malleable Donald Trump followed the pattern set by his father.

However, Trump also is proof that personality and behavior are not wholly a matter of mimicry. The president is his father’s second son, and the first son, Fred Trump, Jr., rejected his father’s style of doing business after a short stint of working for him, and he became an airline pilot until his alcoholism forced him from that career. The author of this book shows how the current president voluntarily followed the example set by his father. He was an eager and capable student.

The mental health profession has adopted a principle that has become known as the Goldwater Rule. This rule prohibits a mental health professional making a diagnosis from a distance, one based solely on media reports and without the practitioner interviewing and testing the subject. Has the author here violated the Goldwater Rule? No. She bases her diagnoses on direct, personal observations. She is in a unique position to make a valid, qualified assessment because she is a clinical psychologist armed with a PhD.

She has many chilling incidents to share. The future president paying someone to take a college entrance exam for him is only the beginning of a life based on deceit. The author deftly crafts a compelling narrative rather than provide us with a disjointed litany of bad acts. The latter quickly would have become boring. However, this book grabs the reader from the very beginning, and compels attention until the short book is completed. The author also spices the book with her sly sense of humor.

This book is very highly recommended, especially for those who want to gain a deeper understanding of the forces driving the current president. It is unfortunate that those who most need to read this book won’t, or if they do read the book, then it will be dismissed as self-serving drivel from a “libtard”. They do so at their own peril. The president’s mockery of his father and role model succumbing to Alzheimer’s should be a lesson for us all.
