This book feels somewhat irrelevant now—thank goodness—but throw it into the hopper of “how could this happen” books, despite the fact that there is no really satisfactory explanation for four years of chaos and almost 250,000 dead from what was arguably an avoidable pandemic. Donald Trump’s niece Mary Trump has written a candid account of her family and her relationship to Trump. She observed the pain and suffering that her grandfather, Fred Trump, inflicted on all his children, especially her own father, and she has the strength of character to admit that Donald suffered and still suffers from his tyranny. What Donald *never* did was find outside influences that might have served as examples for how a human being overcomes dysfunction. Instead he doubled down on the bullying, scorn, intolerance, rudeness, and shaming he’d observed at home and inflicted it on the reals estate world and ultimately all the rest of us. One observation seemed particularly apropos of his post-election conduct: “Donald’s problems are accumulating because the maneuvering required to solve them, or pretend they Donny exist, has become more complicated, requiring many more people to execute the cover-ups. Donald is completely unprepared to solve his own problems or adequately cover his tracks” (199). All that’s almost over.
