When Fred Jr was dying, in 1981, the future president thought it an opportune time to go to the movies. As for Donald, “bone spurs” were his path to avoid Vietnam. As for Fred Jr’s military service, Trump père found little value there. His brother Donald humiliated him, his mother Mary stood by and watched. In most homes, that would be deemed an achievement. He was a member of the national guard and a TWA pilot. Yet the narrative remains compelling.įred Jr found joy in flying and serving his country. Although she casts her book as a warning to the American public, it is 200-plus pages of revenge served with the benefit of time and distance.
He drank hard, was jettisoned by his father and siblings, and treated as a cautionary tale. The author’s father, Fred Trump Jr, died in his early 40s.
Sadly, it is also a book born of tragedy and pain. It is salacious, venomous and well-sourced. It is the book Michael Wolff, the author of Fire and Fury, likely wishes he had written but isn’t kin so he couldn’t. Think John Bolton-quality revelations, but about Trump’s family. Too Much and Never Enough doubles as mesmerizing beach reading and a memorable opposition research dump, in time for the party conventions. Fittingly, as Mary Trump lacerates multiple sets of vital organs, her pen a stiletto, she thanks her aunt “for all of the enlightening information”. She is a retired federal judge who left the bench with an ethics cloud over her head. Adding insult to injury, Maryanne Trump Barry, Trump’s sister, appears to be the key source for this smorgasbord of dysfunction.
