Donald Trump returned from the World Economic Forum in Davos without securing agreement on his Greenland demands, facing public rejection that his niece Mary Trump called a devastating humiliation.
On her Substack platform Thursday, Mary Trump analyzed her uncle's current position, attributing his struggles to multiple compounding factors. "Given the perfect storm of his incompetence, increasing decline across several categories (the psychological, the cognitive, and the physical); and the sense that he is losing control—over himself and the narrative—and the desperation that goes along with that, it was perhaps inevitable that humiliation has come to stalk him at every turn."
She identified public rejection as Trump's deepest fear. "The one thing Donald has always feared most is to be seen as a loser and the humiliation that comes with that," she wrote.
Mary Trump described Trump's nearly 90-minute speech as "a melange of threats, unfounded and ahistorical grievances," arguing it demonstrates significant psychological deterioration. "We do not need any more proof that Donald is a deeply psychiatrically disordered man, but if we did, more evidence can be found every day in his outbursts, his hypersomnia, his alarming lack of impulse control, and his increasingly obvious deviance and corruption."
She directed blame toward Trump's inner circle and congressional allies. "The silence of Donald's enablers is tantamount to complicity. Their unwavering dedication to a madman and an agenda that threatens to destabilize America domestically and internationally tells us everything we need to know about what we are fighting against and against whom we need to wage the fight."
