‘The people listening to Uncle Donald are deranged’

Mary Trump has abandoned a career as a clinical psychologist to devote herself full-time to analysing America ’s problems and her dysfunctional family.

She blames for the precarious mental health that has plagued her much of her adult life.

Her proximity to The Donald and her professional training put her in a unique position to explain the forces that formed the mind of the 45th and potential 47th US president.

She has a third book out this month and a YouTube channel featuring political discussion three days a week.

Mary Trump spent eight weeks in a residential trauma treatment centre in Arizona .

The 59-year-old spent her darkest period of her life after her uncle won the US presidential election.

She believes his election was just a tipping point that exacerbated post-traumatic stress from growing up a Trump .

She tried various therapies, including ketamine, an anaesthetic that induces a trance-like state and is widely abused.

Mary found herself in a support group of sorts when she joined an online knitting circle in 2021 .

The trio of women conceived a romance novel, The Italian Lesson , to be released in instalments on the Substack platform.
