From what I've read, yes.
Trumpf's brother was pretty much crushed by both of them.

I read Too Much and Never Enough when it was released and found it fascinating.
Fred Trump was undoubtedly a piece of work (he chose to keep an Anglicised version of his middle name, for fuck's sake...), but as deeply narcissistic and spiteful as he was, I don't believe it serves as sufficient explanation for Donald's maladjusted unpleasantry.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if it was some kind of congenital defect passed down through generations of inbreeding. Every single member of the brood (Mary included) display some inherent level of cuntitude to the degree that they remind me of a cosmopolitan version of the Carter Family. We certainly know by some of Donald's previous comments that he preferred to dip his toes in the shallow end of the gene pool.

Sociopathic tendencies can run in families.
Whether inherited or produced by upbringing, perhaps it was Trumpf's way of surviving his father, like his brother didn't. I'll have to read the book.
On a side note, the facial resemblance between Mary and Donald is too similar, like if he was a cross dresser.

Often a bit of both and difficult to sort out which did what.

It’s a quick read.
My takeaway is that her father (Trump’s brother) wasn’t interested in the family business and just wanted to be a pilot. Trump Snr didn’t approve and young Donny did nothing to help matters, even going so far as to try and disinherit his brother.
