U.S. President Donald Trump’s niece believes his upbringing -- particularly his experience with a cruel father -- is to blame for the country’s poor response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist based in New York City who released her book, “Too Much and Never Enough, How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man,” last week, said her grandfather Fred Trump taught Donald to never admit fault, which she argues has led to the country’s handling of the virus.
“He’s incapable of accepting advice that contradicts his own narrative,” she said. “Because he’s mishandled it from the beginning, he’s incapable of course correcting because that would mean he would have to admit he was wrong.” Trump witnessed how his father “systematically humiliated” his older son, Fred Trump Jr. – Mary Trump’s father -- who did not want to go into business and had hoped to become a pilot.Mary Trump called her uncle “constitutionally unfit” to hold the office of the U.S. president and argues he has negatively impacted some states’ virus responses because local politicians do not want to cross him.
“One of my main goals in writing the book is to help people understand how longstanding and deeply ingrained his psychological issues are and help them gain access to information that they might not have had four years ago when it comes time to vote again on Nov. 3,” she said. “Very little of it is true, which is something else we’ve come to expect from Donald,” Mary Trump said.
“I think it depends greatly on the outcome of the election,” she said. “If he loses resoundingly, then he will do his best to spin it somehow and exit stage right, if it’s close, then we have a different scenario on our hands.”
