Mary Trump talks to Samira Ahmed

Mary Trump grew up in the shadow of her father Freddy’s humiliation at the hands of his father Fred. Fred believed that among his children there could only be one winner, and rather than it being his namesake Freddy, that winner was now-president Donald Trump.

But Freddy never stopped trying to gain his father’s approval. Aged 42, he finally succumbed to Fred’s lethal contempt and died alone in an emergency room.

Mary Trump, niece of President Trump, reveals the inside story of the Trump family and its patriarch, and the effect it had on her own life, to broadcaster Samira Ahmed. This event offers a unique and personal insight into the Trump family and the cold, selfish cruelty that has come to define it. Trump is a psychologist and writer, author of Too Much and Never Enough.
