Mary Trump, the niece of President Donald Trump, didn’t hold back Sunday when asked whether her uncle’s inner circle genuinely likes him or simply sticks by him out of fear of losing their jobs.
“No. Nobody likes Donald,” said Mary Trump, a trained clinical psychologist who has been one of her relative’s most vocal critics, during a live Q&A session that she broadcast on social media.
“He’s unlikable and he’s unlovable,” she added of the president.
“The fact that he’s unlovable is his greatest tragedy and trauma — but it’s also very bad for us,” she said.
Mary Trump has been estranged from the president for some time and published a tell-all book in 2020, “Too Much and Never Enough,” that alleged a litany of embarrassing truths about her uncle.
Mary Trump used the dynamics between her uncle and his longtime adviser Stephen Miller to prove her point.
Trump likes anti-immigration hardliner Miller because he toadies up to him and does anything he asks, Mary Trump said. In return, she said, Miller likes that the president “doesn’t reject him” for who he is.
“The rest of them? They’re there for the access, the power and/or because they don’t want to lose their jobs,” she said. “So, it’s grim. But that’s just the way it is.”
