Donald Trumps estranged niece has slammed her uncle and his recent debate performance.
Mary Trump, 59, made the remarks Saturday on Substack, following a series of scathing interviews and social media posts issued alongside her new memoir.
Titled Who Could Ever Love You, the tome and accompanying media tour have all been critical of the former president, and was released Tuesday.
In it, she paints the Republican presidential candidate as a failure and a bully. The new blog post was titled Cheating as Way of Life, What Donald Keeps Getting Away With.
The latter came within days of the former, and hours after she appeared on MSNBC to discuss the debate between Trump and Vice President Harris. There, she said Trump had suffered a resounding defeat, from which he will never recover.

Donald spent the weekend, as he often does, lying to the American people, Mary Trump, whose grandfather Fred Trump Sr founded the Trump Organization, opened by saying.
[R]anting about all of the ways in which the debate was rigged against him, she added.
[F]rom the moderators giving Kamala Harris the questions ahead of time to her having a microphone hidden in her ears through which other people were telling her what to say.
Trump made those claims in the wake of the Tuesday event, leading his niece to compare them to assertions he made following his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
Its always projection with my uncle, the psychologist who obtained her masters studying literature at Columbia said.
[A]nd that is never more true than when hes in the process of trying to pre-rig an upcoming election.
The author proceed to point to a post made by her uncle on Truth Social Saturday, in which her uncle warned onlookers that he would imprison anyone who engages in unscrupulous behavior during this years race.
She quoted the post in full - singling out how her relative had wrote that this years election [would] be under the closest professional scrutiny and that Democrats engaged in rampant Cheating and Skulduggery in 2020 will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
To that, she wrote, Not surprisingly, this rant ignored the fact that the only people who got caught cheating in the last presidential election were a few old white Republicans, living in the Villages, and of course, him.
The stakes are much higher now than they were in either 2016 or 2020, she went on.
And he will stop at absolutely nothing to get back into the White House - which at this point, is the only thing that will save his dwindling fortune or keep him out of prison.
The post goes on to mention mainstream medias supposed attempts to sanewash these sort of delusional, and often incomprehensible rantings - which Mary wrote includes now simply ignoring them.
Showing her disapproval of such strategies, she pointed out, After Donald made the above threat against election workers, donors, and operatives on Saturday night, the story was nowhere to be found on the homepage of The New York Times on Sunday.
Donald is signaling clearly to us what’s coming and we can’t depend on corporate media to confirm it, she continued.
This election is too important to for us to rely on outlets that continue, against all evidence to the contrary, to normalize a deeply unwell traitor just so they can preserve the horse race of it all.
She then claimed her uncle was not trying to win fairly anyway, and that he knows that he just needs to keep it close enough so he can cheat by having his friends in the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court throw the election to him.
We need to do everything we can to prevent that from happening.
We need to be absolutely certain the entirety of the Republican Party is routed in a way that will force them to reconsider the path it’s on, she concluded. And that is up to us.
The post was published just hours after the authors latest interview appearance as part of her book tour, which has seen her speak with big names like Anderson Cooper MSNBC’s Alex Witt after joining the Biden campaign after the first debate in June.
In ‘Who Could Ever Love You: A Family Memoir,’ Mary writes that Donald told her father, Freddy Jr., that he he was a ‘glorified bus driver’
On Saturday, she spoke to MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, saying that her uncle had suffered a "resounding defeat," at the second debate against Harris Tuesday
I think Donald showed his hand, well, during the debate, for sure, but immediately afterwards, she said.
Winners do not show up in the spin room and winners do not turn down an opportunity to win again.
She added that the loss was a narcissistic injury that he will never get over.
The comments aligned with those aired in her book, the third in a series started in 2020 that are all critical of the former president.
In it, she writes how her uncle used to mock her late father Freddy, who quit the family real estate business for a career as a pilot before dying at 42.
His death came after a lifetime of drinking, and Mary writes how the Trumps brothers father was supposedly ‘embarrassed’ by him.
She also details how Donald took part in the alleged abuse as well, telling her father he was a ‘glorified bus driver’ in one of many alleged attacks that drove him to alcohol abuse that caused his death in 1981.
The comments aligned with those in her book, which critical of the ex president. In it, she writes how her uncle used to mock her late father Freddy (seen with Trump in 1988), who quit the family business for a career as a pilot before dying at 42
Mary, who now works as a therapist, at a point writes: ‘Nobody liked Donald when he was growing up, not even his parents. She is calling on Americans to vote against him
The Republican presidential candidate is depicted in the book as a ‘failure’ and a ‘thin-skinned bully’ who beat up smaller children when he was a boy.
Mary, who now works as a therapist, at a point writes: ‘Nobody liked Donald when he was growing up, not even his parents.
‘As he got older, those personality traits hardened and the hostile indifference and aggressive disrespect he’d developed as a toddler to help withstand the neglect from his mother, because she was seriously ill and psychologically unstable, and from his father because, as a sociopath, he had not interest in his children outside of Freddy.
‘Even so the interest wasn’t love - Fred (Sr) was incapable of loving anybody’.
Mary did have a reunion of sorts with her uncle in April 2017 when she accepted an invitation to visit him in the White House, the book recalls.
But she regretted it from the moment she accepted, she writes, adding that combined with the Trump administration policies she had to go into ketamine therapy.
Mary also underwent EMDR therapy, famously used by Prince Harry, which involves moving your eyelids a particular way to heal trauma.
