US President Donald Trump is a "cruel", "liar" and devoid of principle, according to his sister, whose secretly recorded comments were reported by the Washington Post on Saturday. Maryanne Trump Barry notably attacked the migration policy put in place by the president, which led to the separation of children and their parents at the border and their sending to detention centers. "All he wants is to please his electoral base," according to these records, which the American daily has obtained. "He has no principle. None". “His damn tweets and lies, oh my God,” she added.
"The toxic family"
The recordings are the work of the president's niece, Mary Trump, who also recently published a book denouncing "the toxic family" from which he came.

Robert Trump, younger brother of the president who died last week, had unsuccessfully taken legal action to try to prevent the publication of the book. Some 950,000 copies had been sold from day one. The White House denounced him as "lying". "This is the fallacy of it all. The fallacy and cruelty. Donald is cruel," Mrs. Trump Barry again told her niece in the recording. She further claims that the billionaire cheated in college contests, an allegation also present in Mary Trump's book. "He entered the University of Pennsylvania because he gave the exams to someone else," she said, indicating that she remembered the person's name. "Every day is different, whatever. I miss my brother, and I will continue to work hard for the American people," Donald Trump reacted in a statement made public by the White House. "Not everyone agrees, but the results are obvious. Our country will soon be stronger than ever," he said.
