Mary Trump previews new book outlining 'cruelty that has come to define the Trump family'

Donald Trump's niece is spilling her family's beans.

Mary Trump, a psychologist by profession, has become known for her critiques of her uncle. Recently, she noted that the ex-president is being pushed "closer to the edge" due to the New York fraud case in which he was found to owe hundreds of millions of dollars.

On Friday, Mary Trump announced a memoir touching on all these family issues and much more.

Mary Trump said in a post on her Substack that the new book, which will reportedly be published by St. Martin's Press in September, is called Who Could Ever Love You - a Family Memoir. She calls the project "an intimate, heartbreaking memoir of a father, a mother, and a family's exile."

"Mary Trump brings us inside the twisted family whose patriarch ignored, froze out, and eventually destroyed his own. Freddy Trump’s decline into alcoholism and illness, along with Linda’s suffering after their divorce, left Mary dangerously vulnerable as a very young girl," according to the preview. "Inadequately and only conditionally loved, there were no adults in her life except for the father she loved, but lost before she could know him; and a mother abandoned by her ex-husband’s rich and powerful family who demanded her loyalty but left her with nothing."

The summary continues:

"Mary Trump grew up in a family divided by its patriarch’s relentless drive for money and power. The daughter of Freddy Trump, the highly accomplished, dashing eldest son of wealthy real estate developer Fred Trump, and Linda Clapp, a flight attendant from a working-class family, Mary lived in the shadow of Freddy’s humiliation at the hands of his father."

Finally, the preview touches on her uncle's behavior.

"Fred Trump embodied the ethos of the zero-sum game and among his five children, there could only be one winner. That was supposed to be Freddy, his namesake, but Fred found him wanting — too sensitive, too kind, too interested in pursuits beyond the realm of the real estate empire he was meant to inherit," it says. "In Donald, Fred found a kindred spirit, a 'killer,' who would stop at nothing to get his own way."
