Description
With revealing, never-before-told stories, Fred C. Trump III, nephew of President Donald Trump, breaks his decades-long silence in this revealing memoir and sheds a whole new light on the family name.
For the record…Fred Trump never asked for any of this. The divisive politics. The endless headlines. A hijacked last name. The heat-seeking uncle, rising from real estate scion to gossip column fixture to The Apprentice host to President of the United States. Fred just wanted a happy life and a satisfying career. But a fight for his son’s health and safety forced him onto a center stage that he had never wanted. And now, at a crucial point for our nation, he is stepping forward again.
In All in the Family, Fred delves into his journey to become a “different kind of Trump,” detailing his passionate battle to protect his wife and children from forces inside and outside the family. From the Trump house to the White House, Fred comes to terms with his own complex legacy and faces some demons head-on. It’s a story of power, love, money, cruelty, and the unshakable bonds of family, played out underneath a glaring media spotlight.
All in the Family is the inside story, as it’s never been told before.
Reviews
“Donald is recognizable even from childhood as self-centered and brash…But this is, in the end, Fred’s story, and while readers will gnash their teeth at Donald’s often cartoon villainy…they will feel for the author’s devastation at the birth of a severely impaired child and understand why the cause of caring for such children preoccupies him today…. More thoughtful than most of the Trump genre.”
“Fred C. Trump III cast[s] aside decades of silence to delve into the roots of the Trump family’s dysfunction at a critical moment in American political history...juicily entertaining...a dishy portrait."
"A well paced and engrossing read."
