  • President Donald Trump's niece Mary L. Trump is publishing a book that will reveal herself to be the primary source of a New York Times investigation into the president's finances, The Daily Beast reported.
  • Mary Trump will say she supplied The Times with confidential family tax documents, The Daily Beast said.
  • The Times investigation later revealed that the president wasn't a self-made man but had his father bolster his failing businesses in the 1990s with hundreds of millions of dollars.
  • Mary Trump is the daughter of Fred Trump Jr., the president's older brother who died in 1981 at the age of 42 from complications of alcoholism.
  • People familiar with the book told The Daily Beast that Mary Trump would also accuse her uncle of playing a part in her father's death.

President Donald Trump's niece is set to publish a tell-all book on their family drama in August, in which she will say she leaked tax documents to help a New York Times investigation into his finances, according to The Daily Beast.

Mary Trump, 55, is the daughter of Fred Trump Jr., the president's older brother who died in 1981 at the age of 42 from a heart attack triggered by alcoholism.

Her book, "Too Much and Never Enough," is scheduled to arrive August 11 from Simon & Schuster, three months ahead of the presidential election and days before the Republican National Convention.

Woo let's go! Let's see the skeletons. The cult will vote for him regardless but the joy of him freaking out and going on a twitter rampage is something to look forward to.

The source piece is related to the NYT's Pulitzer winning coverage of the Trump family estate, and how Fred Trump Sr. used fake corporations to shift generational wealth from him down to his children via corporations that they had shared stakes in, that they'd take a bth with bad financials to avoid the estate tax (e.g., Fred Trump-owned building would suddenly start buying all of their furnishings from some newly opened company in New York that would sell them furnishings at 3x the price it should be, with the stakeholders of that company then pocketing the profit; the main company would then write off the expenditures as losses). He did this with nearly 300 small corporations to get his vast estate into his childrens' hands paying far fewer taxes than they would have otherwise. Trump long tells the story that his father started him with $1million to get his start, and Trump turned that into billions. But, realistically, Fred Trump Sr. gave him $400million and Donald Trump basically turned that into no more than $400million, far less than he would have made if he had -- say -- invested that $400m into government bonds.

This is the article that details the scam:

Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father (Published 2018)

The president has long sold himself as a self-made billionaire, but a Times investigation found that he received at least $413 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real estate empire, much of it through tax dodges in the 1990s.

This is one of those stories that would have taken down any other president. For Trump, it's largely forgotten in the sea of scandals. It was a top story for about a week, drowned out on FOX News by .... the migrant caravan.

I can't imagine the shame of having that last name and knowing you're closely related to such trash. Good on her for using her platform to detail the schemes of her uncle.

Just a reminder:

Fred Trump Sr. died 18 years after his namesake son. The family of Fred Trump Jr. had hoped to receive a share of the estate similar to what would have gone to him if he had lived.

The issue was important to them because Fred Jr.'s son, Fred Trump III, had a son, William, with cerebral palsy. The boy's care had been covered by a Trump company, but it was costly, with expenses that would last a lifetime.

After the patriarch's death, however, the descendants of Fred Jr. learned that they would receive only a portion of the amount they had expected. They took the extraordinary step of suing several other members of the Trump family in March 2000, alleging that Donald Trump and his siblings had persuaded Fred Sr. to change the will. Donald Trump responded by cutting off the family company's payments for the care of Fred Trump III's child with cerebral palsy.

"When [Fred Trump III] sued us, we said, 'Why should we give him medical coverage?' " Donald Trump told the New York Daily News at the time.

The bastard has not treated his family right, at all.

You guys think Trump will call out his own niece on social? We know the man is petty and can't keep quiet anytime he's challenge. Would look very awkward, even for him.

Has a cadence similar to her uncle's if those quotes and that tweet are anything to go by. Weird to hear it with actual functional sentences.

In other words, PAY ATTENTION.

After this gets read and understood by most, we can get into the construction "adventures" and what a "C" meant next to the name of a tenant...and beyond.

Of course he will. He'll call her a traitor to the family, an ingrate, etc., maybe even imply that she's an illegitimate child or something

Of course. He'll lie and say he loved her like a daughter, treated her like a princess, she was ungrateful, wanted more money, blah blah blah. Yes, yes he will say something.

Opposite situation but Romney's niece, who like runs the RNC, regularly shits all over her uncle. Politics are above family for these people. Got to get that power.

Obviously she didn't leak enough of them because he is still in office. You know there is a reason he won't show them all. He has ties with Russia and Putin.

Mary Trump should go full socialism on Trump. That would be the best way to fuck with Trump.

Her brother's son should actually be the one to turn to socialism, being that he needs help with healthcare. What better opportunity to fight for universal healthcare?

No, seriously. This just confirms to me that Trump had nothing to do with raising his kids. None of them sound nearly as much like him as Mary does here and she probably just sounds like her father.

this is certainly gonna be interesting. he'll definitely pull a "barely knew her. her family were sick sick people." type of thing. he'll throw in she's "a paid Soros informant trying to steal the election for Slippery Joe Biden, who hasn't done anything for the blacks"

The script/spin is already there.

Trump will say she is upset because of being cut out of the will and make her seem vindictive. Faux news and mouthpieces will completely ignore the sick child and try to destroy her character and claim she wants money.

I hope she's somewhere securely because I don't think there's any limit as to what Trump and his supporters would do in an attempt to prevent the release (which I imagine ain't possible) or just as vengeance.

Trump would never disparage his own brother.

Like, I'm not saying that sarcastically. He basically reveres him, and he stopped drinking alcohol full-stop after he died.

His niece is fair game, though.
I wouldn't be so sure. This man is a horrible, horrible person. I am pretty sure if it suits him he will do whatever the fuck he wants.
