Mary Trump book ok'ed

They should send copies to media, tv hosts, and need papers, like they did with John Bolton’s book. Then it will be out everywhere and there will no use to block the sales, because all the damage will already be out.

It won't help sway his base, but it may help solidify those in the middle who are leaning toward Biden. That's who you need to be concerned about. The never-trumpers are just as solid as the trump sycophants, but that 20% (give or take) in the middle are who will ultimately determine the election.

BTW, according to this article, Mary Trump has filed to void the NDA based on trump's misrepresentation of assets when she signed the agreement. She is relying on the 2018 disclosures that he had played fast and loose with valuations of the properties with one set of values for property taxes (low-balled values) and another set for sales/income tax (higher values to reduce the amount of gains subject to income taxes).  www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/publisher-moves-up-release-of-book-by-trump-niece/ar-BB16oYwT?ocid=spartan-ntp-feeds.

Why is this important? If he sues her after publication as "punishment," he will have to defend those allegations, and discovery will most certainly include his tax returns. I wonder if he will call her bluff? If the book is published, any lawsuit and discovery will not happen before the election--the wheels of litigation turn slowly and he would have as much time as the contract statute of limitations allows for him to sue her. 

The courts are generally not to fond of "prior restraint" attempts to stop speech. Generally, unless there are public welfare/national security reasons for prior restraint, the correct answer is to allow the publication with a follow-up lawsuit for damages. In the case of a valid NDA, the publisher is not likely to move forward to disclose protected information because they will have to pay back the profits and even the original compensation given for signing the agreement. In this case,  trump has an NDA with Mary Trump, not the actual book publisher, which is why the injunction applies to her and not to the book publisher. If she publishes and is found to have violated the NDA, she would have to pay back the original settlement amount (and maybe interest) or whatever liquidated damages are listed in the contract.

If trump continues to fight publication on the basis that the publisher is her agent and bound by the NDA, they can ask the court to determine the validity of the NDA. No valid NDA = no contract to breach. That hearing can happen a LOT faster than contract litigation.

If this is in NY state court, I seriously doubt the court would allow a prior restraint unless trump can overcome the allegations of cooking the books. Those reports are in the news, and local witnesses are available who have gone on record stating that this was his practice. Once a witness testifies, trump's only real recourse is to provide documentation showing those statements are false. In other words, cough up the tax returns/valuations or drop the prior restraint.

Good for her for writing it, but I don’t think I want to curl up at night and read about that gross family. What a bunch of ghouls.
