 Family secrets don’t just stay behind closed doors—they shape history in ways we never expect. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the powerful and deeply dysfunctional Trump family dynamic, guided by someone who knows it firsthand: Mary Trump, Donald Trump’s niece and a clinical psychologist. 

 Mary’s book Too Much and Never Enough paints a chilling portrait of how Fred Trump Sr.’s ruthless parenting shaped not just his own children, but ultimately the highest office in the land. We examine how his strict emotional control and manipulation forged Donald Trump’s persona, from his early days of suppressing vulnerability to his public image of relentless success. 

 We also discuss the tragic downfall of Fred Jr., the devastating inheritance battle, and the shocking lengths the Trump family went to in order to maintain power—including cutting off medical care for a child with cerebral palsy as retaliation in a legal dispute. 

 But this story is more than just a family saga. It’s about how toxic family dynamics ripple outward, affecting businesses, political institutions, and even democracy itself. With Mary Trump’s psychological insight, we explore the long-term impact of intergenerational trauma and the ways in which personal history can become national history. 

 Join us for an eye-opening conversation about power, control, and the unseen forces that shape the world we live in.
