08 July 2020 "Too Much And Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man" is the vitriolic portrait of Donald Trump written by nephew, Mary, who will be in bookstores on July 14, two weeks earlier than expected to prevent the President of the United States from blocking his exit. 

A few days ago a judge in New York lifted the temporary block on publication, and in a note the publisher Simon & Schuster explained that "the great demand and the extraordinary interest in the book" prompted to anticipate its release. Trump had appealed to a confidentiality agreement signed with his granddaughter.

Mary L. Trump writes that the coronavirus pandemic, the resulting economic depression and the widening of social divisions have highlighted the "worst effects" of Donald Trump's pathologies. Less evident when the country had a stable economy and serious crises were missing, these factors, together with "created a perfect storm that no one is less equipped than my uncle to manage".

The president is referred to as the projection of his father, Fred: a "sociopath". "Donald - writes the granddaughter - survived because it was functional to the father. The sociopaths do it: they choose the people who will have to follow their way of being. Donald took from him the unscrupulous way of acting and the total refusal towards those who dissent from him or resist him. " 

Behind the scenes, the time when Trump, worried about not having enough good marks to enter the prestigious Penn University, hired a friend to take the entrance tests. 

Mary writes: "In addition to the first-hand accounts I can give as my uncle's daughter and only grandson, I have the prospect of an expert psychologist. It's the story of the most powerful family in the world and I'm the only Trump willing to tell it." .

Psychologist, the only liberal of the family, who supported Hillary Clinton in 2016, Mary does not forgive Trump for abandoning Freddy, his older brother and his father, who died in 1981 to alcoholism. "He used his death - he writes - only for political reasons, to talk about opioids". Even on the climb to success, the granddaughter casts shadows: Trump, Mary says, built his real estate empire only thanks to his father's maneuvers. But then, when old Trump fell prey to depression and alcoholism, he was dumped by his son. 

When Donald ran for president, the granddaughter was convinced that she would not make it, four years later, by publishing the book, the granddaughter hopes to stop his re-election. "It's just a book full of falsehoods": so White House spokeswoman Kayleigh Mcenany commented on Mary Trump's book. White House consultant Kellyanne Conway, who has always been close to Trump, said in an interview with Fox News that "there are too many books that have never been verified", adding: "I think family matters should remain family matters" .

After ex-national security adviser John Bolton's bestseller, this is the second book in two months written by an insider who paints a deeply negative portrait of the president. Bolton's book, 'The Room Where It Happened', depicts a president who ignores basic geopolitical facts and whose decisions are guided only by the desire for re-election.
