‘Never evolved and that's dangerous': Mary Trump's chilling warning about her uncle
Mary Trump, the estranged niece of US President Donald Trump, launched a scathing personal and political attack on her uncle at the Hay Festival in Wales, declaring he 'has never evolved' and remains 'incapable of forming close relationships.' Speaking during a session on her latest book, Who Could Ever Love You, Mary Trump, daughter of Donald Trump's older brother, Fred Trump Jr, said, she is now estranged from all members of the Trump family except her daughter. The new book continues her long-standing criticism of the president, building on her previous bestsellers Too Much and Never Enough and The Reckoning. According to a report in The Guardian, Mary Trump recounted her brief stint ghostwriting her uncle's second book when she was in her 20s. 'I can't say we got closer, because Donald isn't close with anybody,' she said. 'But working with him for six months in his office, I got a little bit more insight.' Mary Trump, reportedly a trained psychologist, offered a psychological critique of her uncle's temperament. 'He is the only person I've ever met who's never evolved, which is dangerous, by the way,' she said. 'Never choose as your leader somebody who's incapable of evolving – that should be one of the lessons we've learned, for sure,' The Guardian reported. She went further, as per the report, calling Donald Trump 'one of the most provincial people I know,' adding, 'that does not serve us well, at all.' Quoting a passage from her book, Mary described her father's friend's early encounter with Donald: 'He was a cocky, rude teenager, who was intensely jealous of his older brother, Freddie. Donald didn't have any friends, so she felt sorry for him, but whenever they included him, they regretted it.' In 2021, Donald Trump sued Mary Trump for $100 million, accusing her of sharing confidential financial records with The New York Times, the news outlet stated. Reflecting on the lawsuit, Mary was quoted as saying that it sent 'a very clear message to me'. 'But what if everybody capitulates? Then what? Well, then we lose, and that's unacceptable.'

Trump's Niece Predicted ‘Pathetic' Uncle's Presidency Was ‘Going To Be Unspeakably Awful'
President Donald Trump's niece, Mary Trump, said she was 'devastated' by her 'pathetic' uncle's 2016 presidential victory, noting his 'policies were designed to be cruel.' 'I handled the 2016 election ... badly. I was devastated by it,' Mary Trump told BBC's Samira Ahmed onstage at the Hay Festival in Wales on Tuesday. 'I took it really personally because it felt, once again, like the worst person on the planet is being elevated at the expense of better people.' Mary Trump, who has been estranged from her uncle, appeared at the festival to promote her new book, 'Who Could Ever Love You,' a memoir that dives deeper into her family's relationship with the now-president. Mary Trump told moderator Ahmed that she knew her uncle's presidency was 'going to be unspeakably awful,' citing 'specific policies and the ways in which those policies were designed to be cruel and to have a devastating impact on the most vulnerable people in the country.' 'I think one of the reasons I took 2016 so personally, because it felt like — I guess, 62 million people voted for him — it felt like they were voting to turn America into my family, which is a bad idea. It's just a terrible idea,' the writer said. 'And now that's much, much more pronounced, right?' She went on to criticize members of the Republican Party, saying it became 'very clear early on' that they were going to give her uncle 'a free hand to do whatever he wanted, or for them to do whatever they wanted, because he wasn't going to stop them.' Mary Trump, who is being sued by the president for alleged breach of contract, encouraged his opponents to come together and push back against the administration despite the possibility of retaliation. 'So when you have somebody with that much power who has no compunction about going after individuals, that creates a situation that is designed to instill fear and get people to shut up and stand in line,' Mary Trump said. The president's niece went on to mock those who are afraid of her uncle, but warned of those whom Ahmed referred to as 'radicalized and are ready to carry out acts of violence.' 'I mean, my point of view is that I don't understand people who are afraid of Donald, because he's so pathetic. Like, seriously, like, I would be embarrassed to be afraid of him,' Mary Trump said. 'But it is his supporters, his followers, who have been radicalized, who are willing to lay down their lives for him or commit acts of violence on his behalf, who are the more worrisome group of people.'
