训练有素的心理学家玛丽·特朗普(Mary Trump)写道，她“还依赖法律文件、银行对账单、纳税申报表、私人日记、家庭文件、信件、电子邮件、短信、照片和其他记录”，这部分是基于个人记忆和与家人的对话
“没有人知道唐纳德是如何成为比他自己的家人更好的人的。不幸的是，出于忠诚或恐惧，他们几乎都保持沉默。玛丽·特朗普在她的序言中写道:“我没有被这两种情况所阻碍。“我希望这本书将结束人们对唐纳德‘策略’或‘议程’的称呼，就好像他是根据任何组织原则来运作的一样。他没有。”
用玛丽·特朗普的话来说，总统的世界观是从小由他的父亲——她的祖父——弗雷德·特朗普塑造的，她称他为“一个功能强大的反社会者”，并“鼓励唐纳德不计后果的夸张和挖掘隐藏唐纳德病态弱点和不安全感的信心。”
在他父亲生命的末期，玛丽·特朗普声称庞大的家庭财产成为特朗普和他兄弟姐妹的战场。她指责他想出了“一个背叛他父亲的计划，并从他的兄弟姐妹那里偷了大量的钱。”

她写道:“他秘密接触了我祖父服务时间最长的两名雇员(一名律师和一名会计师)，并让他们起草祖父遗嘱的附录，让唐纳德在弗雷德死后完全控制他的财产，包括帝国及其所有财产。”。
玛丽·特朗普写道，她的阿姨和叔叔都很怀疑，当特朗普走近他时，她的祖父拒绝签字同意找钱——她还补充说，她的祖母说“这根本没有通过气味测试。”
真正的金融战争直到1999年老弗雷德·特朗普去世后才开始。据玛丽·特朗普(Mary Trump)称，她的祖父修改了遗嘱，基本上剥夺了她和她哥哥的继承权——“他没有将我(已故)父亲的20%遗产份额分给我和我哥哥，而是将其平均分配给了其他四个(活着的)孩子，”留给她和她哥哥的遗产相对较少，相当于其他孙辈的遗产。玛丽·特朗普写道，当他们寻求法律诉讼时，这个家庭反过来变得心怀恶意，拿走了他们通过祖父的公司拥有了一辈子的医疗保险。
“这仅仅是一种让我们更加痛苦、更加绝望的方式，”她写道。据玛丽·特朗普(Mary Trump)说，这家人最终达成了和解，她声称他们和解的价值应该大得多，因为她的和解是基于对全部遗产的低估。
玛丽·特朗普在书中还指出，她是提供给纽约时报关于她叔叔的纳税申报单根据《泰晤士报》的报道，这表明特朗普的企业在整个80年代和90年代都处于亏损状态，有时亏损数千万美元。该报道是基于1985年至1994年的美国国税局税收记录。
玛丽·特朗普还写道，20世纪90年代中期，她曾在总统的公司特朗普组织(The Trump Organization)工作过一段时间，并很快被他聘用，专门协助他撰写第三部回忆录《东山再起的艺术》(The Art of The Return)，尽管她很快就被取代了。她还声称，当她在访问马拉加时穿着泳衣，特朗普评论说“天哪，玛丽”。你完蛋了!”根据玛丽·特朗普在书中的描述，这导致当时特朗普的第二任妻子玛拉·梅普尔斯轻轻扇了他一巴掌。
2015年夏天，当他宣布竞选总统时，玛丽·特朗普写道，她“没有认真对待这件事”根据这本书，该家族绝大多数人认为这是出于商业目的的噱头。
“他是个小丑，”我的姑姑玛丽安娜在我们当时的一次常规午餐上说，“玛丽·特朗普写道。“‘这永远不会发生’我同意了。我们谈论了他作为一个衰落的真人秀明星和失败的商人的名声将如何终结他的竞选。有人相信公牛队吗——他是一个白手起家的人?他自己到底完成了什么?我问。“嗯，”玛丽安说，口气像撒哈拉沙漠一样干巴巴，“他已经破产五次了。”"

在竞选活动中，当特朗普向福音派社区示好时，他的姐姐嗤之以鼻，玛丽·特朗普写道。
根据这本书，“玛丽安娜，一个50年前皈依的虔诚的天主教徒，被激怒了”。“‘他们到底有什么毛病?’她说。唐纳德唯一一次去教堂是当摄像机在的时候。令人难以置信。他没有原则。没有!"
玛丽·特朗普总结道，作为总统，他在家庭和职业生活中的经历的顶点导致了他在办公室的“异常行为”。
“唐纳德完全没有准备好解决自己的问题或充分掩盖自己的痕迹，”她写道。“唐纳德错综复杂的个人历史和他独特的性格缺陷使他极易受到更聪明、更有权势的人的操纵。”

总统弟弟罗伯特·特朗普的律师和法官玛丽安·特朗普·巴里没有立即回应美国广播公司的置评请求。
白宫副新闻秘书莎拉·马修斯在一份声明中告诉美国广播公司，“玛丽·特朗普和她的书的出版商可能声称是为了公众利益，但这本书显然是为了作者自己的经济利益。”
“特朗普总统已经执政三年多，代表美国人民工作——为什么现在要大声疾呼?总统形容他和他父亲的关系是温暖的，并说他父亲对他很好。他说他的父亲在他还是个孩子的时候就很爱他，对他一点也不严厉，”声明继续说道。
特朗普总统此前曾表示，他的侄女“不被允许写书”，并于上月告诉Axios，她签署了一份“非常有力”的保密协议，该协议“涵盖了一切”，因为它涉及到她与家庭财产的和解。
两周前，罗伯特·特朗普(Robert Trump)对玛丽·特朗普(Mary Trump)和西蒙与舒斯特(Simon & Schuster)提起诉讼，试图阻止这本书的出版，理由是这将违反玛丽·特朗普(Mary Trump)在解决其祖父遗嘱诉讼时签署的保密协议。纽约上诉法官认为西蒙与舒斯特不能被禁止出版这本书。关于…的听证会禁令对玛丽·特朗普的比赛定于周五进行。
Upcoming book from Mary Trump paints scathing portrait of her uncle turned president
A much-anticipated memoir penned by President Donald Trump's niece offers apersonal and damning accountof the rise of the man who now occupies the Oval Office, according to a copy of the forthcoming book obtained by ABC News.
Over the course of 210 pages, Mary Trump, the daughter of the president's deceased elder brother, Fred Trump Jr., inserts several private and embarrassing anecdotes into the broadly known narrative of President Trump's life, details of which are sure to embolden his critics and enrage his allies.
Mary Trump's account is unabashedly tied to the current political climate. With less than four months until the 2020 election, the president's niece warned, "If he is afforded a second term, it would be the end of American democracy."
The book, titled, "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man," has emerged as the latest behind-the-scenes glimpse into the controversial leader. Afterweeks of legal jockeying, publisher Simon & Schuster announced this week that it would release the book on July 14 -- two weeks earlier than planned -- due to "high demand and extraordinary interest."
Based in part on personal memories and conversations with family members, according to an author's note, Mary Trump, a trained psychologist, wrote that she "also relied on legal documents, bank statements, tax returns, private journals, family documents, correspondence, emails, texts, photographs, and other records."
"No one knows how Donald came to be who he is better than his own family. Unfortunately, almost all of them remain silent out of loyalty or fear. I'm not hindered by either of these," Mary Trump wrote in her prologue. "I hope this book will end the practice of referring to Donald's 'strategies' or 'agendas,' as if he operates according to any organizing principles. He doesn't."
In Mary Trump's telling, the president's worldview was shaped at a young age by his father, Fred Trump Sr. -- her grandfather -- whom she called "a high-functioning sociopath" and served "to encourage Donald's reckless hyperbole and unearned confidence that hid Donald's pathological weaknesses and insecurities."
Near the end of his father's life, Mary Trump claimed that the vast family estate became a battleground for Trump and his siblings. She accused him of coming up "with a plan to betray his father and steal vast sums of money from his siblings."
"He secretly approached two of my grandfather's longest-serving employees [a lawyer and accountant], and enlisted them to draft a codicil to my grandfather's will that would put Donald in complete control of Fred's estate, including the empire and all its holdings, after he died," she wrote.
Mary Trump wrote that her aunts and uncle were suspicious, and that her grandfather refused to sign off on the change when Trump approached him -- adding her grandmother said "it simply didn't pass the smell test."
The real financial battles did not occur until after Fred Trump Sr. died in 1999. According to Mary Trump, her grandfather had revised his will to essentially disinherit her and her brother -- "instead of splitting what would have been my [late] father's 20 percent share of his estate between me and my brother, he had divided it evenly among his four other [living] children," leaving her and her brother a relatively small inheritance equivalent to those given the other grandchildren. When they sought legal action, Mary Trump wrote, the family in turn got spiteful, taking away medical insurance that they had had for their entire lives through their grandfather's company.
"It was merely a way to cause us more pain and make us more desperate," she wrote. The family eventually settled, according to Mary Trump, who claimed the value of their settlement should have been much larger as her settlement was based on an undervalued estimate of the total estate.
Mary Trump also notes in the book that she was a source of information provided to theNew York Timesregarding heruncle's tax returns, which showed Trump's businesses were in the red throughout the 1980s and 1990s, at times hemorrhaging tens of millions of dollars, according to the Times report, which was based on IRS tax transcripts from 1985 to 1994.
Mary Trump also wrote that she briefly worked for the president's company, The Trump Organization, in the mid-1990s and was shortly hired by him to specifically assist him with writing his third memoir, "The Art of the Comeback," although she was soon replaced. She also claimed that while she was wearing a bathing suit during a visit to Mar-a-Lago, Trump commented "Holy s---, Mary. You're stacked!" Which led Marla Maples, then Trump's second wife, to slap him lightly on the arm, according to Mary Trump's account in the book.
During the summer of 2015, when he announced his bid for the presidency, Mary Trump wrote that she "didn't take it seriously." The family overwhelmingly felt it was a business-minded stunt, according to the book.
"'He's a clown,' my aunt Maryanne said during one of our regular lunches at the time," Mary Trump wrote. "'This will never happen.' I agreed. We talked about how his reputation as a faded reality star and failed businessman would doom his run. 'Does anybody even believe the bulls--- that he's a self-made man? What has he even accomplished on his own?' I asked. 'Well,' Maryanne said, as dry as the Sahara, 'he has had 5 bankruptcies.'"
On the campaign trail, when Trump made overtures to the evangelical community, his sister scoffed, Mary Trump wrote.
"Maryanne, a devout Catholic since her conversion 5 decades earlier, was incensed," according to the book. "'What the f--- is wrong with them?' she said. 'The only time Donald went to church was when the cameras were there. It's mind boggling. He has no principles. None!'"
As president, Mary Trump concluded, the culmination of his experiences in family and professional life has led to his "aberrant behavior" in office.
"Donald is completely unprepared to solve his own problems or adequately cover his tracks," she wrote. "Donald's checkered personal history and his unique personality flaws make him extremely vulnerable to manipulation by smarter, more powerful men."
Lawyers for the president's younger brother, Robert Trump and Judge Maryanne Trump Barry did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews told ABC News in a statement, "Mary Trump and her book’s publisher may claim to be acting in the public interest, but this book is clearly in the author’s own financial self-interest."
"President Trump has been in office for over three years working on behalf of the American people – why speak out now? The President describes the relationship he had with his father as warm and said his father was very good to him. He said his father was loving and not at all hard on him as a child," the statement continued.
For his part, President Trump has previously said his niece is "not allowed to write a book," telling Axios last month that she signed a "very powerful" nondisclosure agreement that "covers everything" as it relates to her settlement with the family estate.
Robert Trump filed suit against Mary Trump and Simon & Schuster two weeks ago seeking to block the book's publication on the grounds that it would violate a nondisclosure agreement Mary Trump signed when she settled her lawsuit over her grandfather's will. A New York appellate judge held that Simon & Schuster could not be barred from releasing the book. A hearing on therestraining orderagainst Mary Trump is scheduled to take place on Friday.
