The Inside Story of Why Mary Trump Wrote a Tell-All Book
President Trump’s niece was a family outcast. Her new book casts a cold
light on the relatives she describes as dysfunctional.
"Her uncle, President Trump, for years
looked down on her father — his own brother, Fred Trump Jr., an
alcoholic who died when she was a teen.
Her
grandfather, Fred Trump Sr., hated her mother, whom he blamed for Fred
Trump Jr.’s drinking, court papers say. Her aunt, the president’s
sister, once accused Ms. Trump and her brother in a legal deposition of
being “absentee grandchildren.”
Even

often annoyed by what he took to be her disrespectful nature. Her crime,
court papers say: She showed up wearing a baggy sweater."
She has every reason to kick.
