(Mary Trump, the US president’s niece and a vocal critic of his business and political career) explained that much of her understanding of her uncle comes from when she was in her 20s and Donald hired her to ghostwrite his second book.

“He is the only person I’ve ever met who’s never evolved, which is dangerous by the way,” she said. “Never choose as your leader somebody who’s incapable of evolving – that should be one of the lessons we’ve learned, for sure.”

“Donald didn’t have any friends, so she felt sorry for him, but whenever they included him, they regretted it. Nobody in Freddie’s circle could bear to be around this arrogant, self-important, humorless kid.

She added that she does not “understand people who are afraid of Donald, because he’s so pathetic. I would be embarrassed to be afraid of him.”

    Trump is definitely one of the most potent arguments against generational wealth. If he wasn’t born rich, he would languish away in his parents’ basement somewhere and we’d never have to suffer his presence. So many of these losers that we have to deal with would just be nobodies… what a nice dream.

      If he wasn’t rich he would be dead by now. The medical care people like him and normal people get is miles apart. Remember when he got Covid and they gave him top of the line retrovirals and he came out no worse for wear? Meanwhile people were dying in droves around the US.

      Also due to his wealth he most likely hasn’t suffered any of the stress of having a regular job, commuting, worrying about the future. Those are all stress factors that will shorten your life expectancy.

      Yeah, if Donny boy wasn’t a rich asshole he would be dead around 50-60 years old.
