[아시아뉴스통신=레악카나 기자] A memoir by President Donald Trump's niece due to be published next week describes the president as a pathological narcissist who cheated on the SAT college entrance examination and has embraced "cheating as a way of life" ever since, according to US media outlets who received advance copies of the book.
The New York Times newspaper, which received an advance copy, reported on Tuesday that the book claims Trump paid someone to take the SAT college entrance exam for him when he was in high school in the New York City borough of Queens. His high score on the test helped him secure a spot at the prestigious Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Tuesday called the memoir a "book of falsehoods".Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist, claims the president meets all the criteria for being a narcissist, but writes that even that diagnosis does not capture the full array of his pathologies.
"The fact is," she writes, "Donald's pathologies are so complex and his behaviors so often inexplicable that coming up with an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis would require a full battery of psychological and neuro physical tests that he'll never sit for."
