Mary Trump issues blistering rebuke to 'self-aggrandizing and vicious' Eric Trump

Donald Trump's niece slammed Eric Trump's attack on the former president's nephew, who made waves this week in a new book about life growing up in the Trump family.

In the book, "All In The Family," Fred Trump III claims he heard his famous uncle repeatedly use the N-word while blaming Black people after his car had been vandalized in the 1970s.

A Trump campaign spokesperson called that claim "completely fabricated and total fake news of the highest order."

Fred Trump also shared in the book, published this week, his version of events of the night his uncle 'got out of' Vietnam draft.

A third anecdote caught the attention of Eric Trump.

As the former president's niece tells it, Fred Trump's son William was born in 1999 and has suffered "life-threatening seizures." Throughout his life, he's required "extremely expensive care."

In the late 2000s, Fred Trump asked the family to set up a trust fund for William's medical care, but by 2018, Mary Trump said, "they had grown tired of contributing to it."

Fred and Donald met to discuss the fund, during which the MAGA leader is accused of saying, "I don't know. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida."

Mary Trump said there's no reason to doubt the veracity of Fred's claim, but Eric Trump told his millions of followers on Wednesday that it's "disappointing that after decades of unwavering love, support, golf memberships, family vacations and millions of dollars in support for his wonderful son, Fred Trump has decided to 'cash in' less than a 100 days before an election."

Eric called the account "garbage" and said he's signed checks and seen first-hand as Donald and their family provided "endless financial support" for William's care.

Mary Trump called the statement "full of lies and disinformation," and accused Eric of using his following to "punch down."

"His self-aggrandizing and vicious statement is, quite frankly, abhorrent," she said.

"If he had any sense of basic human decency, he would understand the bargain he's made and at the very least, not attempt to pass off a blatant theft — from which he's benefitted — as an act of charity. But he's had very good teachers, and instead goes for the threat and the lie while rejecting truth and compassion, because like his father, he's weak and he's cruel in the way of small, unaccomplished men."
