Real Reason My Uncle Trump Became a Monster: Niece

January 27
58 mins

Episode Description

Mary Trump describes a nation at a breaking point, as the killing of a Veterans Association ICU nurse Alex Pretti by ICE agents and the administration’s response expose what she sees as the Trump playbook in its most dangerous form. Speaking with The Daily Beast’s political reporter Sarah Ewall-Wice, Mary Trump argues that her uncle’s instinct has always been to deny responsibility, attack victims, and escalate rather than restrain violence—and that this pattern is intensifying as his cognitive decline, rage posting, and detachment from reality become harder to disguise. Mary Trump traces how decades of family enabling, transactional loyalty, and unchecked power have led to a presidency she believes no longer fears consequences at home or abroad.
