Donald Trump's niece Mary has slammed her estranged uncle as 'disgraceful' and 'despicable' over claims that Barron Trump is a fan of self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate.
For some background, Mary, 60, is a psychologist and author who is the daughter of Fred Trump Jr., US president Trump's older brother, and Linda Lea Clapp.
Her father tragically died 1981 at the age of 42 following a battle with alcoholism and in 2020, Mary filed a lawsuit, accusing Trump and two family members of fraud and conspiracy.
She alleged that the Republican leader and his late siblings Maryanne Trump Barry and Robert Trump, cheated her out of an inheritance, however, Trump won the lawsuit in 2022.

As you can imagine, they don't have the best relationship and so Mary is estranged from her uncle and isn't afraid to say what she really thinks of him online.
And in her latest comments, she discussed an alleged connection between 18-year-old Barron, who Trump shares with wife Melania, and the influencer Andrew Tate.
Tate, 39, who gained notoriety for promoting strong views against women in the 'manosphere' community, has been accused of rape and and human trafficking.
He and his brother Tristan have also been accused by Romanian authorities of trafficking more than 30 women and creating a criminal group for sexual exploitation. They deny all the charges against them.
They are under criminal investigation in multiple countries and as per the Telegraph, educators have warned that Tate’s sexist messaging is reaching young boys.
Speaking in a new video on her Mary Trump Media account, she discussed the claim that Trump was involved in the Tate brothers’ release from Romania last February following a two-year travel ban to fly to America, where they were spotted at a UFC event.
She said: "Andrew Tate spent years courting high-profile conservatives and some of Donald’s top advisers."
The psychologist added: "He made it very, very clear that he was a huge supporter of Donald Trump’s.
"And with his massive social media following, that’s all you need for Donald Trump to do whatever he can to make sure, regardless of the horrific crimes you’ve committed, you get to be free."
Mary then threw 19-year-old Barron's name into the mix, alleging that he's a 'huge fan' of Tate.
She brutally said of her uncle: "Now, imagine what kind of... oh gosh, what’s the word? Um, disgraceful, despicable parent you would need to be in order to think it’s OK for your son to listen to and admire a monster like Andrew Tate."
And this isn't the first time that Barron has been linked to the controversial influencer.
According to a New York Times report, Barron 'admired Andrew, and spoke with him over Zoom last year,' according to Justin Waller, a mutual friend who was on the call.
He alleged that during the call, they discussed their shared belief that the Romanian criminal case was an effort to silence the Tate brothers.
Tyla has contacted the White House for comment.
