Trump Reacts To Niece's Book On President's Family: 'She's A Mess'
President Donald Trump has finally commented on the new book written by his niece Mary L. Trump.

The book, “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,” was released Tuesday and racked up a record of 950,000 copies sold on its first day. On Friday, the president posted his gripes on Twitter about the many books that have been written about him in recent months.

....Tax Returns. She’s a mess! Many books have been written about me, some good, some bad. Both happily and sadly, there will be more to come!

The president then attacked his niece by saying, “She’s a mess!” before striking an almost philosophical tone:
“Many books have been written about me, some good, some bad. Both happily and sadly, there will be more to come!”
Mary Trump later responded to the president with her own tweet that her publicist told HuffPost referred to the number of viewers that watched her interview on Thursday’s “Rachel Maddow Show” on MSNBC versus the president’s town hall with Sean Hannity on Fox News.

Meanwhile, other Twitter users found the president’s tweets enlightening in ways he probably didn’t intend.

Did he just admit the information used in the NY Times Trump finances story was accurate, based off HIS taxes returns?
