She is wonderfully thoughtful & articulate

Mary Trump is clearly her father's daughter and has achieved what her father struggled against: escaping the baneful family influence. Her father would be proud.

[PiercedPixie]

She's not afraid, and I commend that. She is very brave for coming out with this book. She knows this is bigger than herself. Now I just pray her efforts were not in vain.

[kathrynowen]

"Some people are so poor, all they have is money." Not sure who the quote is attributed to, but it perfectly describes Donald Trump.

[Borderose]

Notice how Mary pauses at times before she speaks? And never interrupts Stephen when he's asking questions which she answers all on point? Clearly the smarts of the family concentrated mostly unto one branch.

[Cherrysmith]

Great interview, Stephen. Best. I have seen with Dr. Trump. She is impressive.

[JacWarner]

This is the best interview with Mary so far.

[debgriffin-wamser]

You did us all a favor Mary! Thankyou!

This is probably the most important "anti-Trump" book in a long parade of books by ex-cabinet members, past acquaintances, etc.
She is a psychologist who had life-long access to Trump behind the scenes, and probably knows what he really is better than any of these other authors. She actually knows that the *Real Root Cause* of what actually produced Donald Trump is his father. If you've ever known a malignant narcissist, you know they can't be cured. There are only books on escaping narcissists, none on curing them.

One thing which is interesting, she calls him 'Donald'. That's it. No embellishment.

I don’t think it’s obligation Mary. I believe it’s called a conscience.

[seankerr]

She’s AMAZING. Mary, we love you. Thank you 🙏

[jasongent]

Just to point something out...there is a list of fourteen traits that is used to determine whether or not a person or government is fascist.

If you look up those fourteen traits and compare them to a list of Donald Trump's campaign rallies, ads and rhetoric...you'll find he fills every single requirement.

The man is literally running on a platform of fascism. Openly.

[christophersimons]

It's not three dimensional chess, it's a pre-dementia mess.

[cindyadkins]

I love her! She’s genuine and highly intelligent.

[daxxonjabiru]

It's about frikkin' time, but, good on you Mary!

[hakarab]

It's weird hearing a Trump speaking in coherent sentences.

[Chowringhee]

Mary’s book is outstanding, and clearly heartfelt. She has more than proven her credibility, and we should all be grateful for her courage. By her direct language and her objectivity, she bypasses the sensationalism and distortions which have become the abnormal ‘norm’ of our times. And Mr. Colbert, wonderfully presented!

[serenitys]

how come the IRS is not investigating?

[Vitriol-Divergent]

That's how narcissists survive: People get so frustrated with dealing with them that they just give up on calling them on their bullshit. They're just spoiled emotional children that double down on everything.
