Media failed to notice that not one member of Donald’s family, apart from his children, his son-in-law and his current wife said a word of support of him during the entire campaign. Mary L. Trump Read Quote
Donald, following the lead of my grandfather and with the complicity, silence and inaction of his siblings, destroyed my father. I can’t let him destroy my country. Mary L. Trump Read Quote
Donald was to my grandfather what the border wall has been for Donald: a vanity project funded at the expense of more worthy pursuits. Mary L. Trump Read Quote
In Donald’s mind, even acknowledging an inevitable threat would indicate weakness. Taking responsibility would open him up to blame. Being a hero – being good – is impossible for him. Mary L. Trump Read Quote
I think the simplest way to put it is to say that Donald continues to need to prove to his father that he’s the tough guy, the killer, the best, you know, that he’s winning all the time, and above all, that he’s not weak. And the ways to be weak in my family were to be kind, to admit mistakes, and to apologize. Mary L. Trump Read Quote
No one knows how Donald came to be who he is better than his own family. Unfortunately, almost all of them remain silent out of loyalty or fear. I’m not hindered by either of those. Mary L. Trump Read Quote
While thousands of Americans die alone, Donald touts stock market gains. As my father lay dying alone, Donald went to the movies. If he can in any way profit from your death, he’ll facilitate it, and then he’ll ignore the fact that you died. Mary L. Trump Read Quote
Donald has been institutionalized for most of his adult life, so there is no way to know how he would thrive, or even survive, on his own in the real world. Mary L. Trump Read Quote
Donald learned from a very young age that in order to survive in my family, he needed to be what my grandfather referred to as a killer, you know, somebody who had no weaknesses – in other words, kindness, generosity, sensitivity. So I think, over time, those qualities were systematically drilled out of Donald by his dad. Mary L. Trump Read Quote
Donald saw his younger brother Robert as weaker and therefore enjoyed tormenting him. He repeatedly hid Robert’s favorite toys, pretending he had no idea where they were. Mary L. Trump Read Quote
