Since my father's death, Donald has suggested that "they" (meaning he and my grandfather) should have "left" Freddy do what he loved and excelled at (flying) rather than force him to do something he hated and was bad at (real estate). But there's no evidence to suggest that my father lacked the skills to run Trump Management, just as there is non to suggest that Donald had them.

Mary's book reads like an angry older sister, who is pissed on behalf of her country. I really appreciated this. It leads one to understand the idiocies of the 45th President of the United States. I'm sure, when Political Science students have to study our period of time in history, this will be one of the books included. Unfortunate history in the making.
