Mary Trump's book is going to be the latest iteration of the Trump Tell All. Ms Trump, who is a clinical psychologist and a witness to how warped the dynamics of the Trump family are, will fill in more details into a picture that we already know. Much like John Bolton's book or any of the ones to follow, this book will simply flesh out a little bit more of the basic contours of Trump that should have been evident to any sentient observer.
Trump is not a smart or curious man who engages with ideas.
Trump has a narcissistic personality disorder and is a sociopath who cannot see value in others except as they bring value to him.
Trump is more defined by what he hates than what he loves.
This was all in the open in 2016, but it was largely banned from polite discourse. Now, we can see if we have eyes to see. Many Americans don't. All of these tell-all books will not move the needle much at all. Trump looks to be headed for getting somewhere between 35-43% of the vote and hopefully a historic defeat. No book will penetrate the protective ignorance of that 35-43% of the people.
However, this book and others like it are the first draft of the historical record. I suppose in that sense they have some importance.
