Trump Cheated on His SATs By Paying Someone to Take it For Him, According to Mary Trump’s New Book

By

Trump is about to go through some things.

Mary Trump, Donald Trump’s niece, and one of the people that the living Trumps sought to manipulate out of dad Fred’s will, has written a tell-all book about Donald Trump that promises to be salacious and hard-hitting. From Rawstory:

“Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man” — and it paints a frightening portrait of how the president was groomed by his father to be ruthless and unsympathetic toward other people.

The Washington Post now has a copy.

A tell-all book by President Trump’s niece describes a family riven by a series of traumas, exacerbated by a daunting patriarch who “destroyed” Donald Trump by short-circuiting his “ability to develop and experience the entire spectrum of human emotion,” according to a copy of the forthcoming memoir obtained by The Washington Post.

Well, nearly everyone will agree that Trump doesn’t have the ability to experience the spectrum of human emotion. He seems to ping-pong between rage and very pleased with himself. He rarely seems happy to see others succeed, nor feel bad for others.

So there is this:

Knowing what we know about Trump, and how he cheated in a presidential election, we’re not sure how anyone could have expected him to not cheat on his SATs.

Trump’s sadism appeared early:

Donald delighted in tormenting his younger brother Robert, whom he perceived as weaker, Mary Trump writes. Donald repeatedly hid his brother’s favorite toys, a set of Tonka trucks he received for Christmas, and pretended he didn’t know where they had gone. When Robert threw a tantrum, “Donald threatened to dismantle the trucks in front of him if he didn’t stop crying.”

That sounds exactly like the guy in the White House, just different toys and different roles.

It is likely that the Post hasn’t had time to dig deep into the book, and is putting out some of the most obvious smaller details that appear up-front:

“Fred [Sr.] hated it when his oldest son screwed up or failed to intuit what was required of him, but he hated it even more when, after being taken to task, Freddy [Fred Jr.] apologized. ‘Sorry, Dad,’” Mary wrote of the way her grandfather treated her father, known as Freddy. Fred Sr. “would mock him. Fred wanted his oldest son to be a ‘killer.’”

Donald, seven-and-a-half years younger than his brother, “had plenty of time to learn from watching Fred humiliate” his eldest son, Mary Trump wrote.

So Donald became “the killer,” and we just wonder how far that analogy goes, as there are scores of rumors about Trump’s dealings with the mob underworld, and very few hard facts.

The Post is sure to publish more throughout today and tomorrow, we will report on them accordingly.

Peace, y’all
