Donald Trump's niece has launched one of her most withering public critiques yet of the former US president's health, alleging on American television this week that Trump, now 80, is showing 'alarming' physical frailty and possible signs of cognitive decline.
After Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and the daughter of Trump's late older brother Fred Jr, appeared on The Joy Reid Show in the US. During the interview, she set out what she described as a 'perfect storm' of problems affecting her uncle, combining what she called psychological, emotional, physical and cognitive deterioration. Her comments build on years of estrangement from the wider Trump family and a long-running pattern of public criticism of the former president's behaviour and fitness for office.
