All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way - by Fred C. Trump III

OK, I know it just came out yesterday. I am on the request list for this book, at a local library. Fred Trump III is Trump's nephew.

Any of yall out there started it, or read excerpts?

It's one thing for a family to be dysfunctional. It's another thing for it to produce destructive spawn.

One more thing that parallels Hitler's childhood with Trump's: both had authoritarian and punishing fathers with forgiving and noninterfering mothers. Both boys had explosive tantrums that were unabated.

The one in the neighboring county often has new high-demand books like this one before my library does. And I don't think the counties are greatly different as far as income is concerned. Maybe the other county allocates more revenues to their library system.

Houston, and up to Conroe. Including their vow to NOT ban books.
