Mary Trump: My uncle Donald was always a bully. But now he's dangerous
Donald Trump’s niece has famously called him a “narcissist” and “the world’s most dangerous man”.
In part 2 of a Daily T deep-dive into the US president, Kamal speaks to psychologist, author and vocal Trump critic Mary Trump, whose father Freddie was Donald’s older brother.
She shares revealing insights into the Trump family dynamic, describing a toxic, misogynistic environment where “cruelty was currency” - context she says is key to understanding the 47th president.
Later, Mary Trump addresses Kamala Harris’s catastrophic loss in the 2024 US presidential election: Joe Biden’s health, the fallout from that chaotic debate, and how the Democratic Party can win again.
