In a scathing personal attack, Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and niece of former U.S. President Donald Trump, publicly condemned her uncle this week for what she called his "depraved" response to the death of actor-director Rob Reiner's wife.
A Family Feigns Public
The latest edition of Mary Trump's Substack newsletter, "The Good In Us," published on Monday, contained a blistering rebuke. She wrote it after Donald Trump made comments on his Truth Social platform about the deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele. Their son has reportedly been booked in connection with the case.
Mary Trump accused the former president of making the tragic event "all about himself" with a disgusting post, and then doubling down on those remarks when speaking to journalists. She did not hold back in her psychological assessment, labeling him a "sick human being" and "the thirstiest, weakest, and most depraved of men."
The Core of the Condemnation
In her post, Mary Trump articulated a central critique of her uncle's character. "Once again, you have gone out of your way to prove, to anyone who doesn't already know, that you are a depraved, deviant, damaged little man who cannot bear the thought that there are people in this world who are talented, valued, and loved—three things you are not," she wrote.
She suggested his actions stem from an inability to "stomach the thought that anybody else, for any reason, would take the spotlight" away from him. This analysis comes from years of her being one of Donald Trump's most vocal and consistent critics within the family circle.
A Proposed Punishment and Final Judgment
Mary Trump then proposed what she considered the "most fitting punishment" for her uncle's repeated behaviour. She described it as "a mirrorless room without access to the internet or sycophants who continue to believe or pretend to believe that anything you do or say matters."
Her final judgment was absolute and damning. She concluded her newsletter entry by stating plainly, "You are beyond redemption." This powerful denouncement adds another chapter to the very public and deeply personal rift within the Trump family, showcasing how political and personal conflicts have become irrevocably intertwined.
