Mary Trump, the daughter of President Donald Trump's older brother Fred Trump Jr., on Tuesday accused the president of displaying “cognitive decline” and “clear emotional and psychological decline.”
In a new video posted to her YouTube channel, titled "Trump Declines Rapidly as Behavior Raises Concerns," Mary Trump examined the president’s unusual appearance on the White House roof and his administration’s unexpected plan to build a nuclear reactor on the moon.
“There he was on the roof of the White House on a Tuesday afternoon, doing what exactly? Nobody knows. I don’t believe he knows,” Mary Trump said. “Maybe he was looking for his healthcare plan up there.”

The video shows reporters watching the event laughing and jeering as the president joked about building more missile defenses for the White House, but Mary Trump warned the moment was a dangerous sign of decline. She also called Trump’s push to put a nuclear reactor on the moon as proof of deterioration.
“The only thing I can say is what the actual f——,” said Mary Trump. “We can’t pretend that any of this is OK or acceptable. This is dangerous. We have the president of the United States on a roof talking about nuclear reactors on the moon. … Nobody who is telling the truth would say that this is normal or acceptable.”
The Irish Times reports Trump’s roof appearance comes after the White House confirmed the president’s health problems causing swollen ankles and constant bruising. But Mary Trump said her uncle’s diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency is only the start of his problems, and that his deterioration is severely hurting the nation’s democracy.
She referenced Trump’s recent interview on "Squawk box" where Trump said Republicans “are entitled to five more seats” in Texas through the GOP’s extensive gerrymandering efforts.

“For weeks Trump and Republicans have insisted that his redistricting was about competitiveness, not politics, but Donald made it clear on live television that he believes he is entitled to five more seats simply because he won the state in 2024,” Mary Trump said. “ … He doesn’t understand that … we live in a representative democracy. … He doesn’t get it. He doesn’t grasp it. He doesn’t understand it. He doesn’t care, or all of the above.”
Worse, Mary Trump said the president’s Republican Party is letting his illness tear down democracy, referencing House GOP Conference Chair Lisa McClain recently telling CNN's Wolf Blitzer that she agreed with Trump’s gerrymandering tactics.
“Of course, I’m going to side with the president,” McClean told Bltizer.

“This Republican Party has enabled Donald every single step of the way. They are responsible … for where we are as a nation, and their party is getting weaker by the minute,” Mary Trump said. “It would be better if the party ended sooner rather than later.”
