The true villain in Mary Trump’s explosive tell-all book about her famous uncle, Donald Trump, is actually not the President himself.

“By engaging in behaviours that were biologically designed to trigger soothing, comforting responses from their parents, the little boys instead provoked their father’s anger or indifference when they were most vulnerable,” Dr Trump writes.“Donald suffered deprivations that would scar him for life.” “Fred’s fundamental beliefs about how the world worked – in life, there can only be one winner and everybody else is a loser and kindness is weakness – were clear,” says Dr Trump.
“Fred dismantled his oldest son by devaluing and degrading every aspect of his personality and his natural abilities until all that was left was self-recrimination and a desperate need to please a man who had no use for him.”When Freddy briefly tried to pursue a lifelong passion by becoming a commercial airline pilot, Fred viewed it as a “betrayal”. He bombarded his son with abusive messages and derided him as a “bus driver in the sky”.
“The only reason Donald escaped the same fate is that his personality served his father’s purpose. That’s what sociopaths do: they co-opt others and use them towards their own ends, ruthlessly and efficiently, with no tolerance for dissent or resistance,” she says. Dr Trump spends quite some time explaining how Fred enabled and encouraged Donald’s less edifying habits, like his tireless self-promotion, his tendency to lie and embellish, and his prolific spending on misguided ventures.
