Trump says he's hurt by Mary Trump's attacks on his father
President Trump told Fox News’ Chris Wallace he considered the content in his niece Mary Trump's memoir about his parents to be more hurtful than the material about the president himself.
Asked by Wallace if it “hurts… at all†to be “attacked in such personal terms†by a family member, Trump responded “it hurts me more about attacking my father, not being kind to my mother. I have a mother who was like a saint.â€
“[L]et me just tell you, my father was – I think he was the most solid person I’ve ever met. And he was a very good person. He was a very, very good person. He was strong but he was good. For her to say the kind of things, a psychopath, that he was a psychopath, anybody that knew Fred Trump would call him a psychopath?†the president added.
Trump went on to defend his father as “tough on me, he was tough on all of the kids. But tough in a solid sense, in a really good sense.â€
Mary Trump’s memoir, “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,†describes Trump’s father Fred as a “high-functioning sociopath†who fostered an “atmosphere of division†among his children.
