President Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, offered a grim picture of her family’s alleged toxic dynamics, telling ABC that her “sociopath” grandfather, Fred Trump Sr., taught her children to treat other people as “expendable.” .
“I had no empathy,” he said in an interview broadcast Wednesday. “He was incredibly driven in a way that made other people, including his children, his wife, into pawns to be used for his own purposes. If someone could be of service to him, he would use them. If they couldn’t be, he cut them off.”
During her interview, Mary Trump indicated that both she and her father, Fred Trump Jr., were pushed out of the family. Before publishing the book, she faced a lawsuit from her other uncle, Robert Trump, who claimed that she was prohibited from discussing certain information after signing a confidentiality agreement as part of an irritable battle over the will of Fred Trump Sr.

According to Mary Trump’s account, she got unfair treatment after her grandfather’s death, and her family showed an excessive focus on money at the time.
“I am a Trump. It is all about money in this family, but I am also different from them, and for me, what I understood and one of the reasons it was so devastating, was that money replaced everything else. it was literally the only currency the family trafficked, “he said.
Mary Trump’s interview came after she published a memoir with explosive allegations about her uncle while running for reelection. More specifically, she alleges that Donald went to see a movie while his older brother and Mary’s father died alone in the hospital.
Mary Trump said she learned of her father’s death after Fred Sr. called and told her that her oldest son was in the hospital, but that it was not “serious.” “Two minutes” after that call, said Mary Trump, her mother discovered that her father had died two hours earlier. She also alleges that her grandparents stayed home instead of being with her son in the hospital.

“I will never know why they did not go to the hospital to be with their son, who was clearly dying,” he said of his father. “So, perhaps it is not surprising that Donald did not think he needed to be there. Perhaps that would have seemed bad to his father and perhaps, sitting around waiting for the phone call was too heavy, I don’t know. But, you know I’ve often wondered which movie he went to see that seemed more compelling than sitting with his dying brother. “
Those were just a few of the many revelations from the niece of one of the most powerful men in the world. Others include that a man named Joe Shapiro allegedly took President Trump’s SATs for him.
The White House has vehemently denied this accusation, claiming that the book was full of “falsehoods.”
Despite a legal threat and a protest from her own family, Mary Trump decided to speak up about the danger she believed her uncle posed to the country. In early July, a New York Supreme Court appeals judge ruled that Trump’s niece could release her 200-page missive on the family dynasty. Released on Tuesday, the book is titled “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the Most Dangerous Man in the World.”

Trump’s alleged callousness, he said, stemmed from the influence of his grandfather, who suppressed feelings of sadness and a spark of kindness in his uncle.
“One of the unforgivable things my grandfather did to Donald was to severely restrict the range of human emotions he could access,” said Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist.
He added that “certain feelings were not allowed.” That included “sadness, the urge to be nice, the urge to be generous, those things that my grandfather found superfluous, unmanly,” he said in the images posted by ABC.
On Wednesday, Trump’s son Eric tweeted an apparent attack on his cousin Mary.

“Every family has one …” he tweeted. “It usually says when that ‘one’ is alone.”
