Mary Trump, the novelist and psychologist who is Donald Trump’s niece, is making news once more for her scathing criticism of the president, and this time she isn’t holding back.
President Donald Trump has long presented a picture of strength and power, but an increasing number of mental health professionals believe that there may be something more delicate hiding beneath the bluster.
Trump might be “haunted” by the idea of experiencing the same cognitive deterioration that befell his father, Fred Trump Sr., who eventually suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, according to a startling analysis that was broadcast on MSNBC’s The Weekend: Primetime. The ongoing discussion over Donald Trump’s mental health is now being joined by yet another voice, and this one is particularly relevant.
Mary Trump, a certified psychologist and the president’s niece, has long expressed concern about her uncle’s emotional and mental health. However, she goes one step farther in a recent episode of her YouTube series Trump Trolls Trump, calling his present actions a “reign of idiocy.”
Mary claims that her uncle’s cognitive impairment is getting worse. She declared, “We are now 166 days into the Trump regime’s reign of terror, confusion, and chaos, but let’s also call it what it is: a reign of idiocy.” She continued after that.
When discussing Donald Trump’s mental health, Mary, the author of the best-selling exposé Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man, didn’t mince words. “When you’re having a terrible time and democracy is being slowly stifled by a man who can’t tie his own shoes, time flies,” she joked.
Even if her comments were harsh, she did, if you can call it that, recognize one of Trump’s unique skills: combining cognitive failure with narcissism. She declared, “I’m going to give Donald credit for something, even though he is good at very, very few things.” He is actually pretty good at combining narcissism and cognitive deterioration.
That is a twofer, after all. Mary also made fun of Trump’s recent public engagements, which included a visit to the contentious new immigration facility in Florida called Alligator Alcatraz. Trump’s rambling response to the question of how long detainees will be held included everything from redecorating the Oval Office to New York taxes.
Mary quickly criticized the strange answer, saying, “The question, you idiot, wasn’t do you like Florida?” “He doesn’t have an answer, which is why he can’t respond to that question.” “He has an attention span of a toddler, although that’s actually nothing new,” she continued, calling the president “increasingly far gone.”
The psychologist also expressed her displeasure with Trump’s alleged inability to interact honestly with the American people. “I’m fed up with this thuggish jerk sitting there and preventing the American people from knowing the truth about anything at all,” she declared.
As if that weren’t enough, Mary also attacked Trump’s most recent business venture: a high-end fragrance. The Trump-branded “Victory” perfume, which was just released on Truth Social, costs an outrageous $249 per bottle and comes with a gold figure of the president.
“The current president of the United States grifting off of his office is grotesque, but here we are,” she remarked. “The idea of having to guess what that horror smells like is deeply unfair to those of us who are still sane,” she said as she concluded.
