Mary Trump, Donald’s niece and a PhD in some sort of psychology personality analysis, has a new book out. Yeah, it’s a tell-all. She was the source behind the documents that the New York Times used to reveal the huge scam Trump did to not only not pay taxes but to defraud Mary out of millions and millions of dollars of her inheritance.

In the book she talks about how Donald was going to Fordham University. He wanted to go to Wharton. His grades weren’t really good enough. His older sister was doing his homework at Fordham. He paid a buddy to take the SATs for him.

Okay, what else do you need to know? 

I mean, the guy didn’t do the school work, wasn’t interested in doing the work. He only cared about the illusion that he was smart. Yes he went to Fordham and to Wharton, but he didn’t do anything when he was there. He was only there to burnish his image. He learned nothing, because he did nothing.

He has worked hard at hiding his grades and everything else about his personal life. Other than the big showy stuff.

Mary Trump’s comments about his outlook on women is – well – what did you expect? He looks at them like furniture. 

He has no shame, no idea of deportment or decorum. He’ll say things out loud at the worst possible time, in front of the very people that he is embarrassing. Not only does he not care, he seems to not know, and even relish it. 

Mary recounts his telling his wife that Mary has or had a terrible drug problem. She never has had such. He told it to his wife to Mary’s face. When Mary said it wasn’t true he doubled down and insisted it was. All the while, smiling at Mary with an “I know you know” that none of this is true. He gets a certain kick out of it.

Now he’s president. Nothing has changed. He’s the same lying, careless, insensitive person he’s always been. 

Mary also writes about being hired to write a book about him. She had an office in Trump Tower. She spent days listening to him on the phone and she tried to figure out what he did. She never did, as far as I know, figure that out.

I’ll have to get the book.

In other news, we watched the streaming of Hamilton with sub-titles! Do the sub-titles, so helpful. 

This brings me to Johnny B! Mr. Bolton’s book is named after one of the key songs in the play Hamilton. Geez, what a rip-off guy. Oh, I’m sure he’s got a long winded excuse. Don’t they all?

Meanwhile the Corona Virus continues to spread across the country.

It’s going to get worse.
