Mary Trump clearly sees her uncle for who he is. I was suspicious of her motive for writing this book, but after reading just the prologue, I'm convinced she has a genuine motive for writing in addition to money.

who is that? He is not a good reader, I love the content but that was one of the most poorly done Lincoln project ads I've seen
