Overview
- Mary Trump argued that President Donald Trump is “so needy and so grasping” because he craves love he never received in childhood.
- She said Fred Trump was a “patriarchal authoritarian sociopath” whose parenting left a void her uncle tries to fill with status and honors.
- Pointing to FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s new FIFA Peace Prize for Trump, she called the award “completely made up” and claimed it substitutes for the Nobel Prize she says he wants.
- She has also told The Daily Beast she sees signs of cognitive decline in the president, describing these as her observations rather than a medical diagnosis.
- The White House rejected her comments, with Communications Director Steven Cheung insulting her and calling her claims false; Trump’s 2021 $100 million lawsuit against her remains part of their long-running feud.
