Too Much and Never Enough

by Mary L Trump

* THE INTERNATIONAL AND SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER *

‘Even in the darkest of Dickens novels, no family comes across quite as mendacious, grasping and avaricious as the Trumps’ Financial Times

A REVELATORY PORTRAIT OF DONALD J. TRUMP AND THE TOXIC FAMILY THAT MADE HIM – WRITTEN BY HIS NIECE, MARY L. TRUMP 


Mary Trump spent much of her childhood in her grandparents’ large, imposing house in New York with Donald and his four siblings. She describes a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse. As a first-hand witness and a trained clinical psychologist, Mary explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who occupied the Oval Office.

Written by the only Trump willing to speak out, Too Much and Never Enough is a fascinating and unnerving analysis on one of the world’s most powerful and dysfunctional families. Mary Trump’s insight and intimate familiarity means she alone can tell the truth on what makes Donald, and the rest of her clan, tick.

Great insight

This book provides great I sight into why Donald Trump is the person he is today. Readers get to see behind the scenes of his childhood, who his family was, and how his family and upbringing shaped the 45th President of the United States. The book makes no excuses for him or his behavior. It simply seeks to explain how he came to be the man he is today.
