Mary Trump, the lesbian niece of President Donald Trump and a clinical psychologist, recently voiced her concerns about her uncle lashing out if he starts to lose his political power due to failing health or incriminating evidence released in government files related to high-profile convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.He does not believe that anything or anybody could exist beyond him, which is what makes me nervous, Mary Trump said in a newly released episode ofThe Daily Beast Podcastwith Joana Coles. Related Trumps lesbian niece explains presidents mental decline in just 4 words Whether he thinks hes going to be going down because of the Epstein issue, or because if he starts to think that his health is failing, Mary Trump said, before stressing what her uncle will do in five words: He will not go alone.He will take as many people down with him, she continued. That was the case in 2020, and we have seen what happened since then. So that worries me. Nihilists are very dangerous people. If they feel like theyre losing control. And as a father, hes a nihilist. He doesnt want his kids to take on his legacy. He doesnt believe in such a thing, and he certainly wouldnt believe theyre capable of it because hes also a narcissist.

Subscribe to our Newsletter today Mary Trump has previously said that her uncle shows clear signs of narcissistic and sociopathic personality disorders.In her book,Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the Worlds Most Dangerous Man, she attributes his alleged psychological issues to his upbringing, specifically the influence of his father, Fred Trump Sr., whom she calls a high-functioning sociopath. Mary Trump theorized that Donald Trump was deprived of a loving maternal figure during a crucial developmental period and learned from his father that softness was unthinkable and empathy had no value. According to her, Donald Trumps actions are driven by deep insecurities and a desperate need for validation. She claims he is still seeking his deceased fathers approval and that his personality flaws make him vulnerable to manipulation by others who simply repeat his self-aggrandizing claims back to him.She has also said that Donald Trump cannot stand to publicly be seen as a loser. While he has had an undeniable grip on the Republican Party, theres evidence that his influence has started to wane, as congressional party members like antisemitic Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) have criticized him for not releasing the Epstein files.After months of claiming that the files were just a Democratic hoax, Trump said over the weekend that Republicans could vote to release the files, leading many online commenters to conclude that all potentially incriminating accusations involving him will be redacted or that the files wont be released because of his recent order directing the Department of Justice to investigate Democrats named in them.Regardless, political commentators have suggested that Trump may grow increasingly erratic and take drastic measures to distract the public if more people turn on him for the files or his apparent weakness on the political stage.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
