The announcement of the release of this book – entitled Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man ( Too much and never enough: how my family created the most dangerous man in the world , in French) – unleashed a legal battle nearly four months before the presidential election.
Robert Trump, brother of Donald Trump, tried to block him in court, arguing that he was violating a confidentiality agreement that this niece of 55 had accepted in connection with the legacy of Fred Trump, the president's father.
But a judge of a New York court of appeal lifted a temporary publication ban ordered two days earlier last Wednesday. He said the publisher, Simon & Schuster, was “not a party to the Trump confidentiality agreement” and could therefore proceed with publication.
However, he postponed his judgment on the question of the possible breach by Mary Trump of an agreement intended to prevent him from revealing family secrets. A hearing on this matter could take place on 10 July.
Mary Trump, psychologist, is the daughter of Fred Trump Jr., elder brother of the president who died in 1981, at 42 years, as a result of his alcoholism.
“An acting president who muzzles an individual is the latest illustration of disturbing behavior that has already divided a fractured country facing a global pandemic,” she said, according to a statement sent by a spokesperson. to the newspaper USA Today .
In this book 240 pages, she recounts events she witnessed in the house of her grandparents in New York, where they grew up Donald Trump and his four siblings.
“She describes a nightmare of trauma, destructive relationships and a tragic mix of neglect and abuse,” according to her publisher.
