On Sunday, Donald Trump’s psychologist niece, Mary Trump, participated in a live question-and-answer session on the social media platform X. During the session, she shared that her uncle is the way he is due to “family trauma.” Mary Trump has been an open critic of her uncle since his first term as president. About twenty minutes into the session, Mary Trump was asked if Trump’s team genuinely liked him.
Mary Trump Shares Family Trauma
Without a moment’s hesitation, she replied with “Nobody likes Donald. He’s unlikable, and he’s unlovable. The fact that he’s unlovable is his greatest tragedy, trauma, but it’s also really bad for us,” Mary Trump said. Mary Trump then delved into Trump’s psyche about 30 minutes into the session. “Much of Donald’s characterological disorder is based on the fact that he is an extremely weak person, and this is going to sound reductive, but I promise you this is true, who has never gotten what he most needed and wanted in life, which is to be loved,” she said. “That is still what he most needs and wants.”
Father a ‘Sociopath’
Mary Trump then added that the reason he didn’t get the love he needed as a child was because his grandmother was ill. “And when Donald was in an extremely crucial developmental stage in his life, his mother wasn’t around for about a year.” She then added that Trump’s mother being gone was only a small part of the issue. She said that Trump was then left in the care of his “sociopath” father.
Grandfather Incapable Of Love
“My grandfather was incapable of love,” she added. She said that her uncle wasn’t “nurtured” during the most crucial time of his childhood. Mary Trump added that her uncle had built a “defense mechanism,” which she says was stronger when his father reinforced it.
Conclusion
On Thursday, she made a blog post describing our country’s current state as “uniquely dangerous times.” She then labeled it as a “treacherous point in our history,” and she urged her readers to “start showing up in different ways from what we might be used to.”She said she remains “in this fight because it’s necessary.” She also accused the Republican Party of being “hellbent on taking away something that is extraordinarily precious to me and everybody reading this: our democracy—our imperfect, striving-to-be-more-perfect democracy.”
