Mary L. Trump
“A few weeks after Donald hired me, I still hadn’t gotten paid. When I brought it up to him, he pretended at first not to understand what I was talking about. I pointed out that I needed an advance so I could at least buy a computer and a printer—I was still writing on the same electric typewriter I’d bought with Gam’s help in grad school. He said he thought that was the publisher’s problem. “Can you talk to Random House?” I didn’t realize it at the time, but Donald’s editor had no idea he’d hired me.”
Mary L. Trump, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man

“Unfortunately for the book, that was about the only interesting thing that happened during my entire visit to Palm Beach.”
Mary L. Trump, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man

Mary L. Trump
“With millions of lives at stake, he takes accusations about the federal government’s failure to provide ventilators personally, threatening to withhold funding and lifesaving equipment from states whose governors don’t pay sufficient homage to him. That doesn’t surprise me. The deafening silence in response to such a blatant display of sociopathic disregard for human life or the consequences for one’s actions, on the other hand, fills me with despair and reminds me that Donald isn’t really the problem after all.”
Mary L. Trump, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man

“The facts are there. The movement is coming; the change is already happening. This is the end of politics as we’ve known it in America. We’ve been doing white identity politics since America’s founding. We just called it politics. The white men booing in that room represent the past. They need to understand where we are going, so they don’t get left behind. The women and people of color are already getting in formation, and we aren’t going to be thrown off course.”
Zerlina Maxwell, The End of White Politics: How to Heal Our Liberal Divide

“Racism isn’t necessarily something that white people think about on a daily basis, but the increased share of people of color in the electorate has created a moment where America’s focus has finally been forced to address issues of racial and gender justice, arguably for the first time since the civil rights movement and subsequent legislature. Our increased numbers demand that the powers that be address racism and white privilege once and for all. This coalition of newly empowered voters of the Obama era along with social justice movements, like Black Lives Matter, has to some white Americans signaled that they are losing, when actually it’s just society realigning to become what it is meant to be.”
