I was expecting more exciting revelations. The most scandalous thing is that Trump cheated on his SATs, which doesn’t surprise me in the least.

There was a very sad story about her father's death that painted the family who finally did emotionally at least abandon Fred Trump - in the NYT a few years ago maybe right before the election? It was trying to make them look terrible but when you read about how her dad kept making such terrible choices - it was very hard not to sympathize with them. Going to the movies on the night his brother died - not atypical for a man of that generation who did not want to show his feelings which must surely have been mixed. Maybe read that instead.
I admittedly have not read the book or even the article in the Times about the book (beyond the headline and blurb) but my immediate reaction was, here goes another Trump trying to exploit American politics for her own financial gain.
Seeing his performance as the President I had long wondered how he got into UPenn. Always thought that it was due to hefty endowment, but this is something else. As a public figure and POTUS, we do have a morally corrupt and incompetent man as the world leader who is unsurprisingly botching the political response to the pandemic.
Important to remember he was only a transfer student, went to Fordham ( which essentially had open admissions back then) for first 2 years. And also it was a Wharton undergrad, not the MBA program. not as selective as mba even now, back then so much easier to get in. UPenn was my safety school from a nyc ssTT in 1983.
I'm friends with a UPenn administrator who told me they absolutely scrubbed their website when he became president to ensure his name did not come up anywhere

Hey watch what schools you trash you're talking to a Fordham grad here.
So many NYC moms would give their right lung to get a child into UPenn...how do you plan to get your children into your alma mater?

As with all of these tell-all books, the journalists have highlighted the juciest parts. But I'll still read it.
I definitely thought about it that way. His reputation precedes me. It would have to be something really egregious to grab my attention at this point.
