Mary Trump (55 years), the niece of the US President, Donald Trump, spoke about the terrible history of her family, and said, in an interview with "Spiegel" magazine: that her grandfather was successful unlike her uncle, as well as her uncles and aunts, who were her guardians after the death of her father They deceived her into distributing the inheritance.

The following is the transcript of the interview:

• You hold a PhD in clinical psychology .. What is your professional assessment of your uncle President Donald Trump?

It was important for me not to directly diagnose it in my book.

I wanted to give readers an idea of ​​the environment my uncle lived in.

And many people gave their diagnosis, some of them said they were narcissistic.

But we do not have to consider this as a personality disorder, such as: sleep disturbance and learning difficulties.

Your grandfather's father, Frederick Trump, was born in Kalsstadt, which is now in Germany.

And he passed away in New York City, during the Spanish flu pandemic .. Was the family talking about his death, or about the family’s German origins when I was young?

My grandfather never spoke about his father, and I don't think he was upset about his death.

My grandfather was the first generation of the American family, and he did not mention his country of origin, or be proud of it at all.

My uncle Donald, too, never referred to himself as a German, because he used to do a lot of business with Jewish people.

And he seemed to think that if they knew his origin, they would consider him a Nazi.

Do you think your uncle imitated his father?

The similarity between my grandfather and my uncle is not great, as it seems at first glance, as my grandfather was a very competent person, and he was also a successful businessman.

But my uncle lacks both.

My grandfather believed that my uncle could succeed in the field of media, and he also believed that my uncle Donald was a person willing to do anything, to win.

Your father, Fred Jr., was supposed to inherit the family's real estate business.

But your grandfather recommended that your uncle be his heir, which led to problems in the family .. Can you eliminate your grandfather?

There is no emotional bond between my grandfather and his children.

He does not possess real human feelings, and worse, he sees others as an extension of him, in order to exploit them to achieve his purposes.

And if they fail to achieve these purposes, he gets rid of them, just as it happened with my father.

And in my family there was always one winner.

Over time, it became quite clear that he would not be my father.

• Instead of engaging in the family business, your father became a pilot .. What was your grandfather's reaction?

He was a pilot at the start of the commercial aircraft era, but my grandfather always told him that he was no better than a bus driver.

And my father was not able to be the boy my grandfather wanted.

• The New York Times revealed, in 2018, that the Trump family had deceived you in the inheritance process!

I knew, from the start, that something was wrong.

But I didn't know what it was.

And my grandfather’s real estate company was sure to be worth more than $ 30 million when he passed away.

The "Times" newspaper revealed that the company is worth $ 970 million.

And it was very sad to discover that my aunts and uncles, who had been my guardians after my father's death, when I was 16, were using their power to deceive me.

• Some critics accused you of taking advantage of the family name.

Your uncle, President Trump, described you as his "niece, who is rarely seen," and said that there was no relationship between the two of you, when you were little .. Is this true?

This is not true in general, as I am not a hate person who has not heard of me!

The similarity between my grandfather and my uncle is not great, as it seems at first glance, as my grandfather was a very competent person, as he was a successful businessman ... But my uncle lacked both features.
