The month of July 2020 saw the release of Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man, a tell-all book by Mary L. Trump, the niece of U.S. President Donald Trump.

The only passage in the book we found that bore the slightest resemblance to the faux excerpt seen above — and it was a very slight resemblance — was the following paragraph:
