Mary Trump can't stand more days with his uncle, the sitting president Donald Trump, in the White House. Following the release of her book, Mary Trump went on an interview to share more insight into what it looks like to grow up in a Trump family and what she thinks of her uncle as POTUS.
In an interview with ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos, the author was asked about what he would say to her uncle if she's at the Oval Office right now with him. Mary Trump's response was simply, "Resign."
She said the former real estate mogul was destined to become a man who is incapable of leading a country and it is too dangerous to allow him to do so. Mary Trump explained that she saw how Donald Trump cultivated dangerous behaviors long before he stepped into the White House.
The psychologist/author said she saw the Celebrity Apprentice star focusing on wrong things and allowing somebody who commits mistakes to move on without accountability. Mary said she is seeing it again now but on a much grander scale.
She also described the first time she saw Donald Trump after he took office. Mary said her uncle already looked strained by pressure, just months after he started his term. She believed that it was because Trump had never been in a situation before where he wasn't protected from criticism or accountability.
In her book, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man, Mary Trump admitted that there has been tension in the family after her grandfather died in 1999. At the time, she learned that she and her brother were cut out of his will.
The siblings filed a lawsuit that eventually ended in a settlement. But Mary Trump described the settlement as unfair.
Meanwhile, prior to the release of Mary Trump's book, the White House said the author and her publisher may claim to be acting in the public interest, but it is clearly in the president's niece's own financial self-interest. The White House also reiterated that the president had a loving and warm relationship with his father, contrary to Mary Trump's claim.
The president's younger brother, Robert Trump, tried to block the release of the book. He also urged the court not to allow his niece from publicly promoting the new book. He failed on both after the New York judge lifted on Monday a gag order on the author.
Mary Trump's book about Donald Trump was originally set for release on July 28. However, it dropped on July 14 and it quickly climbed on best-seller lists.
