Well, Donny’s younger brother failed yesterday in his attempt to quash niece Mary’s new blockbuster book.
He succeeded only in giving it much free publicity.
Donald (of course) left it up to his brother Robert, to do his dirty work.
The family’s legal action was first reported by The New York Times. The paper cited an unidentified person familiar with the matter as saying the president’s younger brother, Robert Trump, had filed for a temporary restraining order against Mary Trump in Queens Surrogate’s Court, which handles will disputes.
Mary Trump’s book, “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,” is scheduled to be released July 28. Publisher Simon & Schuster describes the book as a “revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J. Trump and the toxic family that made him.”
“She describes a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships, and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse. She explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who currently occupies the Oval Office, including the strange and harmful relationship between Fred Trump and his two oldest sons, Fred Jr. and Donald,” the description says.
Well, the WaPo has a writeup about the book, which is due to be out on shelves July 28th.

As Donald Trump announced his candidacy in 2015, Mary Trump does not appear to have said anything publicly about him.
But when it became clear that her uncle had won the presidency, she took to Twitter.
“Worst night of my life,” she wrote at least 12 times in tweets that have been deleted recently. She wrote that “We should be judged harshly. . . . I grieve for our country.”
Now Mary Trump appears to hope that, with an assist from the publication of her book, the next presidential election will turn out differently from the last. She foreshadowed it at 4:07 a.m. on Nov. 9, 2016, shortly after her uncle was declared the president-elect, when she tweeted simply: “2020.”
