Summary of Too Much and Never Enough
T oo Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the Worlds Most Dangerous Man by Mary L. Trump is about the Trump family. Though the book was inspired as a need to keep her uncle Donald Trump from further ruining democracy in American, the book itself takes the reader through the life of each of the Trump children. Mary was the daughter of Freddy Trump, the oldest Trump boy and heir apparent. Though Freddy was not interested in the position and ultimately died at an early age, he was the center of his fathers misguided attention. The Trump home was one in which praise was never given, perfection expected, and emotion never displayed. This odd dynamic in which Fred Trump controlled everything, yet did nothing other than run his business, create pathologies in each of the siblings. Their mother, known in the book as Gam (grandmother), had health problems and was largely unavailable for her children in most ways. From these childhoods, the Trump children each took their own path, but Donald, being much like his father learned all the wrong lessons and has based his successfulness on the success he did not create, yet believes he did. This book will have the reader looking at the President and his extended family in a new light.
Written in four sections, the book is then further broken up into 14 chapters. The chapters are loosely based on periods and large events. Though the focus is on the family as a while, later chapters are focused on President Trump. The final chapter is focused only on President Trump and how his upbringing has both made him the man he is and ruined him due to both excesses and lack of important teachings. The author is Donald Trumps niece who was disinherited by Fred Trump and then settled with the family for a much smaller amount of money than she and her brother likely deserved. She is also the one who provided information for the New York Times article that exposed the Trump familys part in fraudulent money schemes for many years. The book must be understood in this context and the reader decides on the accuracy or spin on the information.
Prologue
O pening with a bit about the author, the prologue starts with Mary discussing being a kid in the 70s at sailing camp. She loved being called Trump not because of its association, because they were still relatively unknown, but because she felt it suited her well. Then by the 80s when Donald Trump, her uncle, started branding buildings in Manhattan, the way she felt about her name became more complicated then liking the way it sounded. Nearly 30 years later in 2017, she was headed to the White House for a birthday party for her Aunts Elizabeth and Maryanne turning 75 and 80 respectively. As she exited at Union Station, she was confronted by her name on buttons with sayings like Deport Trump and Trump is a Witch written in big bold letters. Her once loved name was becoming more complicated.
Checking into the Trump Hotel where her room was comped for the night, she looked over her surroundings and though there was a great deal to take in, it was tastefully done. She had expected it to be gilded and vulgar but instead, it had a seating area on one side of the lobby and a bar on the other where she would later meet her brother. Heading to her room she found it was also tastefully done, though her name, his name, was plastered on everything from shampoo to shoe polish. She grabbed a drink from the fridge and an hour later met the rest of her family at the bar. Her brother Fritz and his wife Lisa, aunt Maryanne, the oldest Trump child of five who was a federal appeals court judge, her uncle Robert, the youngest and his girlfriend, and many others. The only Trump child missing other than Donald was her father who had passed away nearly 35 years prior. When together, they checked in with White House agents and packed into two White House vans like a sports team. This was a struggle for some of the older guests, but they all made it into the seats.
Ten minutes later, they pulled to the first gate where guards inspected the vans before opening the gate. They passed through and exited at a security gate, entering as their names were called individually. Passing through the metal detector they finally walked into the White House. They walked long halls with windows overlooking the garden and lawns, passing by paintings of former first ladies. Mary paused at Hillary Clintons photo, wondering how this had all happened. She never expected to visit the White House under such circumstances. The White House was grand and elegant and she was soon to see her uncle Donald for the first time in over 8 years.
