Donald Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, is once again criticizing her uncle, claiming the former president is deeply troubled and increasingly struggling behind the scenes.
In a recent interview with journalist Steven Beschloss, Mary described Donald Trump as “an empty, unloved man” and suggested that both his mental and physical condition may be deteriorating. Reflecting on his appearance at the recent G7 summit in France, she argued that while he can still appear composed at times, he is “in a downward spiral.”
Mary also claimed that Trump’s greatest fear is public humiliation.
“He’s constantly dealing with narcissistic injuries, and nothing frightens Donald more than being embarrassed,” she said. “The irony is that no one humiliates Donald more effectively than he humiliates himself.”
Her comments were quickly rejected by the White House. Communications Director Steven Cheung strongly defended the president, calling Mary Trump’s remarks baseless.
“She’s a stone-cold loser who doesn’t know what she’s talking about,” Cheung said. “Her entire relevance depends on spreading falsehoods about President Trump in an attempt to stay in the spotlight.”
Questions about Trump’s health have surfaced in recent weeks after he posted—and later deleted—a Father’s Day message on Truth Social featuring a woman who was not related to him. The post praised a “great daughter” and included the caption: “Great daughter, My Honor!!! President DJT.”
Some observers later identified the woman as Margo Casimatidis, the wife of billionaire businessman and longtime Trump supporter John Catsimatidis.
Despite the speculation, the White House has repeatedly dismissed concerns about the president’s health. Following a recent medical examination, White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella stated that Trump remains in “excellent health” overall and achieved a perfect score of 30 out of 30 on a cognitive assessment designed to screen for impairment.
