A family member got the book on tape, which means I've heard at least a couple chapters worth in passing. I think it's just a basic fact that The Donald is a total nutbag. The question remains of whether it should disqualify him from holding office. At this point, that's a question only voters can answer.
I think it's significant because a lot of us are feeling bullied and gaslighted by our president. In a way, this book is important because it puts it in its place, and shows how it's a long chain from the abuser Fred Trump, which passes down to his children. And one of the children, Donald, passes it down to his children, and to a lesser degree the rest of us. So Mary Trump's own reckoning with her family issues is also cathartic to the rest of us -- it's sympathetic.
