Trump shaped simply by bullying daddy, niece says, seeing that WHouse cries foul
Donald Trump's niece describes the united states president as a lying narcissist who was shaped by his domineering daddy, according to excerpts of her memoir published Tuesday.
The White Property immediately hit back, describing Mary Trump's "AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Gentleman" as "a book of falsehoods."
The memoir arrives from July 14 amid a legal battle to avoid its publication and is already a best-seller on Amazon.
Mary, a good clinical psychologist, writes that Trump saw "cheating as a means of life," in line with the New York Times.
She accuses Trump of "hubris and willful ignorance" stretching back again to his younger days.
She alleges that the near future US leader paid another person to have the SAT pre-collegiate test, helping him get into the University of Pennsylvania's prestigious Wharton business school.
The Times doesn't make clear how she knew.
"The absurd SAT allegation is totally false," said deputy White Residence press secretary Sarah Matthews.
The 240-page book says Trump is something of his "sociopath" father Fred Trump who created an abusive and traumatic home life, The Washington Post reported.
"(The president) explained his father was loving rather than at all hard on him as a kid," Matthews explained in response.
The memoir is billed as the first unflattering portrayal of Trump by a family insider.
The president's younger brother Robert Trump tried to block publication, arguing that Mary was violating a non-disclosure agreement signed in 2001 after the settlement of her grandfather's estate.
Last week, a New York appeals judge ruled that Simon & Schuster is permitted to release the memoir, saying it was "not a party to the agreement."
Mary is the girl of Fred Trump Jr, Trump's older brother, who died in 1981 from complications related to alcoholism.
She writes that her uncle meets all the clinical criteria to be a narcissist, based on the New York Times.
"Mary Trump and her book's publisher may say to be acting found in the general public interest, but this book is plainly in the author's private financial self-fascination," Matthews said.
The book is set to be the most recent bombshell book to dish dirt on Trump after former aide John Bolton's tome, which describes the Republican head as corrupt and incompetent, hit shelves previous month.
Trump has described that e book as "fiction."--AFP
