Political
Trump Niece's Tell-All Describes A
President Trump Rushed Schools
To Open In The Fall, Even As U.S.
Family Of Liars, Cheats And
Virus Cases Topped 3 Million
Abusers Who Destroyed Her Dad
The rate of new cases was rising quickly as the nation hit the 3 million mark, ac- cording to a database. Half a million new cases have been reported since June 26. Cases have risen in 37 states over the past two weeks, and this week the nation has been av- eraging roughly 50,000 new cases a day — double what it did in mid-June.
Trump is pressing schools to physically reopen in the fall, pursuing his goal of reopening the United States even as the pandemic surges through much of the country.
In a daylong series of con- ference calls and public events at the White House on Tuesday, the president and other senior officials kicked
PRES. TRUMP
off a concerted campaign to lean on governors, mayors and other local officials — who actually control the schools — to find ways to safely resume classes in per- son.
They argued that the costs of keeping children at home any longer would be worse than the virus itself.
"In the end, there would be no love for Donald at all, just his agonizing thirsting for it," Mary Trump writes in a new memoir the family tried to stop. "The rage, left to grow, would come to overshadow everything else". This is the most dangerous man in the world.
Mary Trump, as she writes less than 20 pages into the up- coming memoir her familytried to stop her from publishing, has a story to tell about her grand- parents, aunts and uncles — in- cluding the president, Donald Trump.
"And I am the only Trump who is willing to tell it."
On Tuesday, publisher Simon & Schuster made copies of Mary's Too Much and Never Enough available to reporters a week before its new release date, July 14.
As of this writing, the book is the No. 1 bestseller on Amazon, marketed as an order of magni- tude different from previous un- flattering memoirs out of the Trump administration (includ- ing Amazon's No. 2 seller: a book by former National Security Ad- visor John Bolton.)
'In Order to Understand' The first thing Mary notes in Too Much and Never Enough is that much of it "comes from my own memory," supplemented by interviews with relatives, friends and others as well as documents and records and previous news
reporting.
Mary's aunt Maryanne
Trump Barry, a retired judge, appears to have also been a key source for some information about their family and receives
MARY TRUMP
an acknowledgement as such. Elsewhere in the book, Mary details how she secretly sent ex- tensive records produced as a re- sult of a 20-year-old lawsuit over patriarch Fred Trump Sr.'s estate to The New York Times for a 2018 financial investigation
into her family's finances.
The book contains dialogue and scenes of conversation throughout, but the quotes are
not verbatim.
While Mary recounts many
brief anecdotes, her goal with her book is not an extensive, fly- on-the-wall account of life in the Trump family. Citing her own background as a clinical psychol- ogist, she writes that the time has come to subject President Trump, her uncle, to a kind of X-ray of the soul — "unlike any previous time in his life, Don- ald's failings cannot be hidden or ignored because they threaten us all."
"No one knows how Donald
‘TOO MUCH AND NEVER ENOUGH’
came to be who he is better than his own family," Mary writes early on. "Unfortunately, almost all of them remain silent out of loyalty or fear. I'm not hindered by either of those."
While the president is a major focus of Mary's book, her inter- est is farther reaching: It begins with her grandparents, the pres- ident's mother and father, even before he was born.
In her telling, Too Much and Never Enough traces the over- growth of decades of family dys- function, which in turn sprouted cycles of abuse and addiction and despair and distrust as well an array of dodgy, cheating on the SAT test, and deceitful be- haviors to preserve the family's wealth, back to its roots: Trump Sr.
She writes: "In order to un- derstand what brought Don- ald—and all of us—to this point, we need to start with my grand- father."
Kanye West Running For President Says He's Done With Trump
Kanye West’s Fourth of July declaration, via Tweet, that he was running for pres- ident lit the internet on fire, even as pundits were trying to discern how serious he was. Over the course of four rambling hours of interviews on Tuesday, the billionaire rapper turned sneaker mogul revealed:
• That he’s running for president in 2020 under a new banner—the Birthday Party—with guidance from Elon Musk and an obscure vice presidential candidate
KANYE WEST
he’s already chosen. “Like anything I’ve ever done in my life,” says West, “I’m doing to win.”
• That he no longer sup- ports President Trump. “I am taking the red hat off, with this interview.”
• That he’s ok with siphon- ing off Black votes from the Democratic nominee, thus helping Trump. “I’m not denying it, I just told you. To say that the Black vote is Democratic is a form of racism and white su- premacy.”
