Mary Trump Recalls Uncle’s Childhood ‘Origin Story’ That Exposed A ‘Dangerous’ Trait
HuffPost
Donald Trump's niece explained the significance of the incident that has entered family lore.
Mary Trump said her uncle Donald Trump’s inability to laugh at himself is a “dangerous” trait that can be traced back to at least a humiliating incident in his childhood, which she called the former president’s “origin story.”
On TikTok this week, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee’s niece recalled the time her father Fred dumped a bowl of mashed potatoes onto his younger brother Donald’s head to stop him from tormenting their younger brother Robert.
Donald stopped acting out and Robert stopped crying, she said.
But then everyone started laughing at Donald and he “probably felt humiliated for the first time in his life,” she continued.
The incident was frequently brought up at family gatherings and “every single time, even six decades after the event itself occurred, Donald reacted exactly the same way,” said Mary Trump, who is one of her relative’s biggest critics.
