Mary Trump has revealed how she is considering changing her last name to cut all ties with her uncle Donald Trump after he did ‘incalculable’ damage to the US during his Presidency.
Donald Trump’s niece – who has written a scathing memoir about her uncle branding him the ‘worlds most dangerous man’ – says that she fears the negative connotations her name may have in the future.
The clinical psychologist, 55, also shed light on his relationship with Melania Trump, 50, claiming that while she does not feel the former First Lady wants to divorce, Donald does not understand ‘affection or intimacy’.
Rumours that Melania is unhappy in her marriage were sparked when she refused to stop and pose for waiting photographers upon her arrival in Florida after leaving the White House.
Instead, a stony-faced Melania strode away from them without so much as a wave while her husband posed for pictures at Palm Beach Airport.
The recording went viral on social media, with users speculating that the mother-of-one is moments away from filing for divorce.
While Mary dismissed these claims, she shed some light on the marriage, alleging that her uncle is incapable of a healthy relationship.
‘The damage Donald has done to this country is incalculable’, she said in an interview with the Sunday Telegraph. ‘We’re just waiting to find out how much is irreparable’.
‘I don’t believe he understands affection or intimacy’, claimed Mary. In July 2020, Mary published ‘Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World´s Most Dangerous Man’ (pictured)
According to the The Mail on Sunday, former aide Stephanie Wolkoff alleged in November the Trumps had separate bedrooms in the White House and ‘a transactional marriage’.
Fellow ex-aide Omarosa Manigault Newman also claimed the couple’s 15-year marriage was over, adding: ‘Melania is counting every minute until he is out of office and she can divorce.’
Mary is one of two children by Fred Trump Jr, the President’s older brother who died in 1982 aged 42 after battling alcoholism.
