Peter Conrad — The Guardian Book Review <\/em><\/strong>21 July 2020<\/h1>\n

Abridged by Lasha Darkmoon, with an extended endnote<\/strong> \u2018On the death of democracy\u2019.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This blistering memoir by the president\u2019s niece reveals the twisted dynamic of America\u2019s \u2018malignantly dysfunctional\u2019 first family. [The book sold 950,000 copies on the first day, setting a record for the publisher. \u2013 LD]<\/strong><\/h5>\n
—<\/h5>\n
Like America, Trump claims to be unique, exceptional, a shining self-creation. This book by his estranged niece demolishes that myth. Mary Trump\u2019s ruthless memoir blames their family for creating him: she sees it as her patriotic mission to \u201ctake Donald down\u201d, and she does so by showing how derivative and dependent the ultimate self-made man has always been.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Trump was bankrolled at first by an indulgent father, who paid him to be an idle show-off and proudly collected grubby tabloid reports on his antics; nowadays he is propped up by tougher, cannier men such as Vladimir Putin and Senator Mitch McConnell, for whom he is an easily manipulated stooge.<\/h5>\n
Sleaze and graft, we here discover, are Trump\u2019s genetic heritage.<\/h5>\n
His grandfather slunk out of Germany to avoid military service and made a fortune from brothels in Canada.<\/h5>\n
His father was a landlord who passed himself off as a property developer to rake in government subsidies for properties that were never built.<\/h5>\n
(Here is a photo of Donald Trump in 1975<\/a><\/span>, age 29, with his father in Brooklyn.)<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Donald\u2019s mother, born to penury in Scotland, remained so meanly thrifty that every week she dressed up in her fur stole and drove her pink Cadillac around the New York suburbs to collect small change from the coin-operated laundry rooms in buildings the family owned; her piggy banks were empty tin cans that once contained lard. She remained emotionally absent, preoccupied by her ailments, while her husband viewed their male offspring as mere off-prints of himself, begotten to ensure that the family kept a grip on its spoils.<\/h5>\n
Raised in such an environment, how could Donald Trump not emerge as \u201ca petty, pathetic little man\u201d? Never having received affection, he bestows it on himself in orgies of preening and boasting; the life partners he serially selects seem to have been chosen from a mail-order catalogue.<\/h5>\n
His first wife, Ivana, is summed up by Mary as \u201call flash, arrogance and spite\u201d, with a telling \u201cpenchant for regifting\u201d. Ivana\u2019s ritualised gift-giving is portrayed as an exercise in contempt: one Christmas she presents Mary\u2019s mother with a luxurious handbag containing a used Kleenex. (Ivana pictured<\/span><\/a><\/strong>)<\/h5>\n
Melania is a trophy, destined to occupy a glazed niche in a display case. Presiding over a Father\u2019s Day meal at Trump Tower, Melania utters just one word all evening. That word, expressing at best a theoretical curiosity about the world, is: \u201cReally?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>(Melania pictured in 1996<\/a><\/span>,<\/strong> when she was doing nude photoshoots for Max Magazine, a French mag for sex-starved men.)<\/h5>\n
Throughout the book, Mary\u2019s uncle is not President Trump but simply Donald. With casual disrespect, she even deprives him of the definite article deployed by Ivana who always referred to him as \u201cthe Donald\u201d. Mary\u2019s professional credentials as a psychologist [she has a Ph.D] entitle her to briskly check off what she calls Donald\u2019s \u201cpathologies\u201d, which include narcissism, sociopathy and learning disabilities that may be due to the dozen Diet Cokes he daily siphons into himself. In a startling final condemnation, she charges that his \u201ccraven need for \u2018revenge\u2019\u201d on opponents makes him, in his nonchalance about coronavirus in New York, responsible for what she calls \u201cmass murder\u201d.<\/h5>\n
Erotomania can be added to the list of his vices.<\/h5>\n
Once at the Mar-a-Lago pool, Donald disgusted Mary by sizing up her breasts: \u201cHoly shit,\u201d he remarked, \u201cyou\u2019re stacked.\u201d This wicked uncle is all slavering id, with no superego to restrain the fingers that itch to tweet, to toy with a big red nuclear button, or to \u201cgrab \u2019em by the pussy\u201d.<\/h5>\n

\n\u201cHoly shit, you\u2019re stacked!\u201d<\/h3>\n
Whenever Donald attempted to manage an actual business \u2013 an airline, casino or dodgy university \u2013 the result was bankruptcy.<\/h5>\n
The lies he compulsively tells are for Mary another \u201cmode of self-aggrandisement\u201d, a cover for his quaking inadequacy. Sadly dimwitted, he even had to hire a surrogate to take the entrance exams for college on his behalf.<\/h5>\n
All his life he has \u201cfailed upwards\u201d; he relies on being \u201crewarded for bad behaviour\u201d, which happened again when the Senate blocked his impeachment.<\/h5>\n
As viewed by Mary, he is an undeveloped human being, who instantly passed from whiny infancy to doddery old age, missing out the intermediate age of reason and responsibility where the rest of us spend time.<\/h5>\n

On\u00a0 the\u00a0 Death\u00a0 of\u00a0 Democracy<\/h1>\n

by Lasha Darkmoon<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
Americans will get the president they deserve in four months\u2019 time, either Biden with his many faults or Trump with his numerous shortcomings. Bernard Shaw once observed: \u201cDemocracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.\u201d Maybe that\u2019s why we have Trump, because Trump is what America deserves.<\/h5>\n
Why the \u201cworld\u2019s greatest democracy\u201d is unable to find any other candidates to choose from except these two charmers now on offer, the incorrigible Trump and the abominable Biden,\u00a0 is a conundrum none have been able to solve. In a country such as America,\u00a0 one no longer gets to vote for the \u201cbetter\u201d candidate. One is forced to choose the lesser of two evils.<\/h5>\n
Plato says it best for me. He has obviously given this matter much thought. And what he said over 350 years before Christ still makes a lot of sense today. \u201cFor a state in which the law is respected, democracy is the worst form of government, but if the law is not respected, it is the best.\u201d<\/h5>\n
Plato believed that the best form of government was a benign aristocracy: \u201cthe Guardians\u201d. In short, a dictatorship of enlightened oligarchs, a small group of wise old men who had no wish to feather their own nests or promote their own interests. Their sole concern was to rule with fairness and justice in the interests of the majority. Women and fools were expected to do what they were told and not meddle in state affairs. A wise decision, in my humble opinion, all things considered.<\/h5>\n
Never once in history, for reasons too complex to explain here, has it been possible to achieve this Platonic Utopia. The greatest happiness of the greatest number, the political aim of Benthamite utilitarianism, has proved to be unachievable. We live in a Darwinian dog-eat-dog world in which only the fittest survive. The deep state, by which we are ruled today, embodies this ruthless principle. The deep state is not interested in making life easy for the masses. It is concerned solely with successful predation.<\/h5>\n
Our rulers can be described as the People Farmers; and we, the people, are their livestock.<\/h5>\n
To get down to brass tacks: who will win the November elections, Trump or Bidden? Against all the odds, I predict a victory for Trump. The opinion polls give Biden a huge lead: 50 per cent to Trump\u2019s 38 percent<\/span><\/a><\/strong>. This is meaningless. Because Trump, with the deep state behind him, will cheat. Remember that this is the man who conned his way into college by hiring someone else to sit his entrance exams for him.<\/h5>\n
Trump will sweep to victory, I believe,\u00a0 according to the principle propounded so cynically by Stalin: \u201cThose who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.\u201d<\/h5>\n
The video below reveals to Americans what their president is really like. I make no apologies for uploading it. After all, these are Trump\u2019s own words.<\/h5>\n
Trump is the best on offer, it seems. We need to be grateful we have Trump at the helm, however appalling he may appear to be at first glance. Just think how much worse it would have been if, instead of Trump, we had Stalin\u2014or Nero, Caligula, Ivan the Terrible, or Genghiz Khan.<\/h5>\n
Americans will get Trump because he is what they deserve<\/em>. That\u2019s meant as a compliment, not as an insult. Trump is a product of the American Zeitgeist<\/em>. He thinks like America, speaks like America, eats like America, struts like America, and in every way holds the mirror up to America. He is America personified.<\/h5>\n
