Meet Mary Trump: Donald Trump's Estranged Niece Who Became His Fiercest Critic

Mary L. Trump, a psychologist and outspoken critic of her uncle, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, grabbed headlines after posting a viral tweet criticising his leadership. In her post, she wrote, "Donald is going to get regime change after all, but in America, not Iran. No kings."Mary is the daughter of Frederick Crist Trump Jr, nicknamed Freddie, the elder brother of Donald Trump. However, their blood relationship has not stopped her from criticising him. Two of her bestsellers include Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man and The Reckoning: America’s Trauma and Finding a Way to Heal.According to The Guardian, Mary told the Hay Festival in Wales, where she was discussing her latest

book about the Trump family, Who Could Ever Love You, that "he is the only person I've ever met who has never evolved, which is dangerous, by the way. Never choose as your leader somebody who is incapable of evolving. That should be one of the lessons we have learned, for sure."Read: The Gossip That Put Donald Trump on a Tabloid CoverIn 2020, Mary alleged that Donald, his sister Maryanne Trump Barry, and his brother Robert Trump cheated her out of an inheritance. According to a court document published by the BBC, "They lied. Rather than protect Mary's interests, they designed and carried out a complex scheme to siphon funds away from her, conceal their grift [fraud], and deceive her about the true value of what she had inherited."In 2021, Donald sued his niece, The New York Times, and three of its reporters over a 2018 article that alleged he was involved in "dubious tax schemes".According to the latest reports, she was also banned from TikTok for criticising Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr, a loyalist of Donald. On 26 March, she wrote on her Substack, The Good In Us, "I found out yesterday that I was permanently banned from TikTok. I don’t really know why. Two days ago, I was informed that I had two strikes for content violations against me. Apparently, in the 24-hour period following, I got another strike. What happened between then and now? I can’t tell you because I went from being locked out of my TikTok account to not having one anymore."She added, "The fix was already in and I suppose it was just a matter of time. But TikTok really had to dig deep to find ‘offensive’ content in my account. The first video they flagged was posted back in October 2024. I incurred the second strike for a recent video in which I criticised FCC chair Brendan Carr for threatening to pull the licences of networks that report the news about the Iran war accurately."According to Harry Siegel and Maxwell Tani in the Daily Beast, this followed "a suit filed by Charles Harder on behalf of Donald Trump’s brother Robert to try to stop Mary Trump and publisher Simon & Schuster from releasing her memoir, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man."
