Donald Trump said that Mary signed a "very powerful" agreement that "covers everything," so she was "not allowed to write a book."
Robert Trump, one of Mary's uncles, sued on June 23 to stop the book from being published. A judge in the Queens County Surrogate Court (a court that handles wills) dismissed the case. Trump then took the case to a state court. On June 30, a judge there ordered that the book not be published until a hearing was held on July 10. On July 1, another more powerful judge reversed that order and allowed Simon & Schuster to publish the book. On July 2, Mary Trump made an affidavit saying that she was not bound by the NDA because the agreement was fraudulent.
Most people said good things about the book. They were impressed with how she used her psychology knowledge to tell a story about her family.
One man, Chris Taylor, said she did not write a good book because she made a lot of big claims and contradicted herself.
