Trump ‘was emotionally abused as a child by dad who terrified him and left him scarred for life’, niece claims in book
DONALD Trump suffered emotional child abuse from a father who left him scarred for life, his niece has claimed in her explosive new book.
In “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,” Mary Trump will maintain that "love meant nothing" to Fred Trump Sr, who "terrified" the young President.
"It wasn't enough for me to volunteer at an organization helping Syrian refugees. I had to take Donald down," she writes.
The book will claim that a two-year-old was neglected and left with a "total dependence on a caregiver (Fred Sr) who also caused him terror" when his mom got sick.
His niece – who is the daughter of his late older brother, Fred Trump Jr – is expected to discuss bombshell claims that Trump "suffered deprivations that would scar him for life" at the hands of his dad.
The back of the book describes how "child abuse is, in some sense, a matter of 'too much' or 'not enough.'"
"Today, Donald Trump is much as he was at three years old: incapable of growing, learning, or evolving, unable to regulate his emotions, moderate his responses, or take in and synthesize information," it reads.
"Donald's mother became ill when he was two and a half, suddenly depriving him of his main source of comfort and human contact. His father, Fred, became his only available parent.
Trump's niece also issued a scathing attack on his character, claiming he told her he "barely even knew who the f***" Eric Trump's wife Lara was until she gave a glowing speech about him – even though the couple had been married for eight years.
Mary also alleged that Trump's sister and her aunt, court judge Maryanne Trump Barry, called him a "clown" with "no principles," noting his five bankruptcies.
