When she says he has been "institutionalized for most of his adult life", she states that she means that he has not had to do normal things for himself. he has a problem driving, or even dressing himself. he has never learned how to tie a tie, and has not tied his shoes in years.
She is factually right on her statement. trump has not been legally institutionalized, but he has not done day to day things the rest of us are able to do.
You may believe that trump can learn to tie a tie, or his own shoes, and maybe even drive a car. Maybe you are right, maybe you are wrong. But Mary Trump will still be a good author.

Good luck, Mary
Then she is an idiot. Words have meaning, and I've gone through this before. Being "institutionalized" means you have been put under professional care in a closed setting like a mental hospital or retirement home. Her version is nonsense. I would propose she used the word "institutionalized" for maximum negative impact expecting few readers to question it's use making her use of it not only a lie but a disingenuous attack on Donald that is undeserved. That in turn makes her book a work of questionable facts and opens the question What axes does she have to grind here?
Remember George HW Bush not being sure how to use a credit card at a grocery store? Same thing. Just because you have privilege and wealth doesn't make you some sort of incompetent in things that matter.
Mary Trump in writing a screed to attack her uncle rather than a dry factual account is doing herself a service and disservice all at once. Her book is worthless as non-fiction while being quite useful in the court of public opinion and as a fictional piece of political tripe to stir up the masses.
The most important proof is trump's speech. He shows how stupid he is every time he opens his food hole. He has a 5th-grade vocabulary and messes up any speech he gives. If he were not the accidental president, we could laugh at his embarrassing moments.

We were discussing your constant use of "two sets of rules." Are you having a brain freeze? Let me refresh whatever you have left. Two posts from the thread you were MIA from.

You'll have to get TOP to explain. I think we'd all enjoy that.
