Mary L. Trump, the niece of President Donald Trump, claimed in a new interview that her uncle’s deterioration is being hastened by “decades” of living with untreated “psychiatric disorders,” which has created a “perfect storm,” per The Daily Beast.<\/p>\n

The younger Trump is the daughter of Fred Trump Jr., the president’s late older brother, and a clinical psychologist. Over the last several years, she has emerged as the only real critic of her uncle’s political agenda from within his own family, calling out his policies in numerous books and interviews, while also warning of the family histories and conditions that have created his warped psyche.<\/p>\n

On Monday, she spoke with former CNN White House correspondent Jessica Yellin for a discussion facilitated by Big Tent USA. As The Daily Beast reported, she was pressed about “how she would assess the president\u2019s current mental and physical state as someone who knows him personally,” and surmised that he is currently dealing with a “perfect storm” of circumstances, worsened by leaving serious psychiatric disorders untreated for “decades.”<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s somebody who has lived for decades with longstanding, undiagnosed, and untreated psychiatric disorders,” she said. “As with many illnesses, including psychiatric illnesses, when they\u2019re left untreated, they worsen over time.\u201d<\/p>\n

She touched on several other factors indicating that his physical health is in serious decline, including his swollen ankles, bruised hands and apparent difficulty with walking or standing for extended periods. She also noted the much-discussed issues he appears to have with staying awake, even when he is on-camera during important events.<\/p>\n

“He simply cannot stay awake during the day unless people are talking about him,” she added. “That appears to be the only thing capable of keeping him alert.”<\/p>\n

She continued: “There is so much happening simultaneously that it shouldn\u2019t surprise us he\u2019s becoming increasingly erratic, belligerent, and violent. Just listen to his rhetoric about Iran. It\u2019s completely unhinged.”<\/p>\n

Yellin agreed with Trump’s summation and added, “There\u2019s a bloodlust to it that\u2019s deeply unnerving.”<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast report further highlighted comments that the president’s niece made during a January appearance on CNN, in which she suggested that his condition was “getting rapidly worse.”<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven his advancing age, clearly there seems to be some indications that he has some cognitive issues, hence all of the cognitive tests he\u2019s taking and the MRIs we\u2019ve heard about but have no specific information about, and just his behavior, the way he speaks, his inability to rein himself in, his inability to stay on topic,\u201d she said. \u201cOftentimes, it seems that he\u2019s not exactly aware of where he is or the audience he\u2019s speaking to.\u201d<\/p>\n
