Trump BRANDED “Madman”: Niece Mary Trump Breaks Silence

    Trump BRANDED “Madman”: Niece Mary Trump Breaks Silence

    Fresh concerns are emerging from within Donald Trump’s own family, as his psychologist niece, Mary Trump, raises pointed alarms over what she describes as a visible decline in his self-control, judgment and cognitive stability. In a sharply worded Substack post, Mary Trump draws attention to a pattern of impulsive behaviour, incoherent public remarks and escalating emotional volatility that she says can no longer be ignored. The latest warning follows Trump’s recent appearances, including remarks delivered at the World Economic Forum in Davos which Mary Trump characterized as a troubling mix of threats, disjointed messaging, and erratic assertions. According to her analysis, these statements reflect deeper psychological and cognitive concerns rather than isolated political rhetoric. WATCH
