There’s no hate like HypoChristian love

Revisado: 08-15-23

There’s no hate like HypoChristian love. These religions, none of which have Abe evidence for their sky daddy. All they have is magical thinking and superstitions. I’ll be thinking for them. Since they’re in capable of rational, thought or critical, thinking. Also, the narrator in this is horrible.

“There was no way I was going to let this black fag win" [Trump said] (p. 106)

Revisado: 09-09-20

“There was no way I was going to let this black fag win" [Trump said] (p. 106).

Just finished Cohen’s book. Cohen recounts how the evangelicals’ choice for president cheated on his wife, hit on pageant contestants (“maybe we can catch a few of them in the back getting dressed,” p. 172), and watched live sex shows where a handicapped man wearing a “cock sock” sung God Bless America while a 300-pound woman “wearing a postage stamp-sized American flag bikini … began to grind on the man’s outsized penis, stroking and caressing it” (p. 180). Trump delighted in it all: “Now that guy is packing a missile … this freak can really sing” (p. 180). He recounts how he saw Trump sexually harass women: “I did see him corner pretty women in his office and forcibly kiss them as they recoiled” (p. 176). Trump even called Cohen’s 15-year-old daughter a “piece of ass” (p. 182), told her to kiss him, and asked “when did you get such a beautiful figure?” (p. 183).

Cohen reveals Trump’s “unhinged Archie Bunker racism” (p. 106), as if it wasn’t already clear. Noting that Trump said “South Africa was once a beautiful country twenty, thirty years ago … Mandela fucked the whole country up. Now it’s a shithole. Fuck Mandela” (p. 107). Talking about Obama, Trump said “the only reason he got into fucking Harvard Law School and Columbia was fucking affirmative action … Fuck him” (pp. 109-110). Trump asked “Tell me one country run by a black person that isn’t a shithole” (p. 107).

In painstaking detail, but with excellent writing and perfect clarity, Cohen documents how he became obsessed with and addicted to Trump—“I was like a junkie, mainlining the excitement” (p. 101); “I was like Gollum in The Lord of the Rings” (p. 105)—and the many immoral and illegal things he did for Trump. He outlines how Trump conned and exploited him from the outset, even though he was a loyal servant. Trump started their relationship with a lie, never offered to pay Cohen for his early work, and declined to pay for his first recorded ~$100,000 bill (“Invoice? … You want to get fired on your first day?,” p. 52). Despite all of this, Cohen literally got in a physical fist fight for Trump. Cohen also explains how others are making all the same mistakes, dedicating “our consciousness and consciences to him” p. 166). For example, he discuss how “Rudy Giuliani [is] committing harakiri for Trump” (p. 154).

Cohen documents Trump’s horrible judgment (e.g., he was touting the real estate market “only days before the global economy crashed,” p. 38). Cohen documents Trump’s horrible treatment of ordinary people, either refusing to pay them, or only paying “twenty percent of the invoice” (p. 168). Cohen documents Trump’s horrible treatment of his supposed “friends”—for example, conning Patricia Kluge and essentially disinheriting her son. In Cohen’s words, “A ‘friend’ approaching Trump for assistance in a time of need was making a mistake of epic proportions” (p. 146). Cohen documents Trump’s utter dishonesty—for example, he outlines how Trump fabricated his Hawaii investigation into Obama’s birth on the spot. Cohen even spends an entire paragraph describing how much effort Trump goes through to do his hair—“Hair Force One” (p. 177).

The book is outstanding: revealing, depressing, important. The Appendices provide supporting documents. Probably the best insider book on Trump that will ever be published.

Donald Trump = Imbecile

Revisado: 07-21-20

Just finished reading the book, and wow! now I get his poor decision making. It's scary knowing that Trump is the president of the United States when he is incapable. Thank you Mary Trump. ByeDon! Trump is such an imbecile!

Revisado: 11-26-19

Get it listen to it you become part of his life while listening. I had no idea fleer was so eloquent with his words. Good job FLEA!! Way to keep LA real and grounded. I grew up with your music I grew up with your circle of friends. We lived the punk rock / rockabilly life in the 80s. I’m 55, and this book nailed it for me.

Remarkable work of slowed-down journalism

Revisado: 09-18-19

There is plenty in their reporting that is alternately heartbreaking and rage-inducing ... doesn’t seek clear answers so much as attempt to write the first iteration of this particular historical record ... Living in the minutiae, and maintaining that focus on narrating events rather than opining on or analyzing them, makes this book a remarkable work of slowed-down journalism ... the power in this book is the authors’ effort to use their journalistic tools to set the foundation for the reader to consider these bigger, broader questions. The authors try to wrap it up in a way that feels narrow and humble, not straying too far out of their professional lane. They are doing their jobs as journalists and writing the first draft of history. It is up to you, the book suggests, to get to work on the revision.

Major waste of time....its all the same gibberish

Revisado: 08-07-19

At this point, the only reason to support this President, is that he reflects your hateful heart; he shares your contempt of people of color, your hostility toward outsiders, your ignorant bigotry, your feeling of supremacy.
