President Donald Trump’s niece, Dr. Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist by profession, is sounding the alarm that her elderly uncle is spiraling.

In a conversation with reporter Steven Beschloss for her Sunday newsletter, Dr. Trump explained, “He may still have moments when he appears more coherent, but psychically he’s in a downward spiral. He’s experiencing constant narcissistic injuries, and nothing terrifies Donald more than humiliation.”
Beschloss questioned whether she felt that the 80-year-old president looked “unusually diminished” as of late.
Dr. Trump cautioned, “I think this is simply the direction things are heading.”
“He’s experiencing constant narcissistic injuries, and nothing terrifies Donald more than humiliation,” she continued. “The problem for him is that nobody humiliates Donald more effectively than Donald humiliates himself. The G7 came immediately after the sixty-million-dollar taxpayer-funded spectacle at the People’s House. Everything he’s doing now exists in service of protecting his fragile ego and trying to fill what I’ve long described as the black hole of need within him.”
She explained that once Trump awakened the next morning, it became clear to him that “once again, … none of it helped.”
“He’s still an empty, unloved man, and maintaining that illusion has become psychologically exhausting,” Dr. Trump continued. “Combined with his cognitive, emotional, physical and psychological decline, it’s becoming impossible to hide.”
Last week, Trump got into a public feud with the Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni. After the G7, Trump claimed she was desperate for a photo with him and begged him for it. The PM released a video calling the comment a lie.

Dr. Trump thinks that her uncle is “projecting,” particularly when he claimed that he “felt sorry” for Meloni.
“He also claimed he felt sorry for her when, in reality, many of those leaders probably felt sorry for him because he cuts such a pathetic figure,” the psychologist said. “I’m certainly not defending Giorgia Meloni. She’s a fascist. However, when somebody politically aligned with Donald publicly contradicts him, it carries more weight than criticism from Emmanuel Macron or Keir Starmer. He simply cannot help himself. His declining impulse control guarantees moments like these will become increasingly common.”
Beschloss also noted that at the G7 summit, the leaders appeared to “have stopped pretending”
“Capitulating to Donald has always been the wrong strategy,” Dr. Trump said. “Now they’re finding ways to manage him instead. Inviting him to Versailles, surrounded by gold and grandeur, to sign what amounts to a surrender document was an extraordinarily clever move by Emmanuel Macron.”
Beschloss commented on the historical aspect of the signing, noting that it was the site of the humiliating surrender by Germany that ended World War I.

“Emmanuel Macron understands history,” Mary Trump explained. “Donald does not.”
