President Donald Trump signaled on Sunday that he will bar Mary Trump, who is the daughter of his eldest brother Fred Trump Jr., from publishing her tell-all book about him and the rest of the family titled “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.”
“She’s not allowed to write a book,” Trump said during an interview with Axios.
The President claimed his niece, who is the daughter of Fred Trump Jr., had signed a “very powerful” NDA that “covers everything” after her and her brother’s court battle with the rest of the family over Fred Trump Sr.’s will in the early 2000s.
“She’s obviously not honoring [the NDA] if she writes a book,” Trump said. “It’s too bad.”
His remarks indicate that he may take legal action against Mary before the book publishes on July 28 by claiming she had violated her NDA, as the Daily Beast reported last week.
The book’s page on Amazon promises to detail “the dark history” of the Trump family “in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the world’s health, economic security, and social fabric.”
Mary Trump reportedly played a crucial role in helping the New York Times expose on her uncle’s tax-dodging schemes by providing the outlet with the family’s financial records that she had obtained in the lawsuit.
How’s his track record on prior restraint?
Excellent when it comes to keeping testimony from Congressional committees.
Not so good when it comes to the publishing world.(Now that Pecker is gone)
My money is on the book being published. But in his own words, “We’ll see.”
File this under:
‘Shit that used to work for Donald Trump.’
Most of us would sue if someone told a lie about you.
The POTUS sues if you tell the truth about him.
If the NDA is as powerful and beautiful as Trump claims he has valid cause to sue her after publication. But he can’t stop the actual publication. What a maroon - think he’d learn one or two things after all his various court battles.
I said this earlier but she needs to start a GoFundMe campaign to cover any legal costs and fines that come out of releasing the book. It needs to come out, however it happens.
