Donald Trump's niece, psychologist and author Mary Trump, has delivered one of her starkest assessments yet of the US President's upbringing, alleging that he was raised by 'sociopaths', 'was never loved' and remains, at his core, a 'terrified little boy'.
Speaking during a one-on-one interview on 'The Joy Reid Show' YouTube podcast, Mary Trump argued that understanding her uncle's childhood is crucial to understanding the man who has twice occupied the White House. She portrayed him not simply as a controversial political figure but as someone shaped by profound emotional deprivation and fear. Her remarks have reignited debate over how much a leader's family history influences their behaviour, with supporters dismissing her claims as another family attack and critics arguing that her observations offer insight into Trump's personality and leadership style.
