Mary Trump's father, Fred Trump Jr., was an alcoholic."In my family [it] was treated like a moral failing," she says.Mary Trump reflected on her family's history of illness and their attitude about being sick.First of all, what's fascinating is I had no idea that my great-grandfather had died during the 1918 flu pandemic from the flu until I read about it somewhere a couple of years ago.
But, you know, it depended on who it was. And it was also driven by the fact that my grandfather was never sick. Ever. Until in the late '80s, he had a tumor removed, but then he was completely fine. And then many years later when he was suffering from Alzheimer's, he had a hip replacement but wasn't really aware of much of what was going on.
So my grandmother, with her osteoporosis, would come home from the hospital and need more care and physical therapy. And my grandfather was unable to tolerate it. You know, he'd be in the room with her. And as soon as she started showing that she was in physical pain, he would say"everything's great, right. Everything's great." And he'd leave the room.
I have not and unfortunately, it seems like we can't exactly rely upon the information we're getting directly from the medical team at Walter Reed, which is unfortunate because we really do need as much accurate information as possible in a case like this.
Hos mental illness takes him down.
Read MARY TRUMP'S book! tTrump is a follower of Norman Vincent Peale.
CaronaUpdates Have a taste of the Almighty God & His goodness. He doesn't need a vaccine to end Covid-19 forever. He's revealed the remedy to end the pandemic globally in 10 days. Oh taste and see that the LORD is good. WonderfulGod
Trump's family sounds typical of many aristocratic, Capitalist families. 'Trumps don't get sick'.. 'Trumps don't cry, & are better than everyone'... 😠
I truly believe Donald's response to the pandemic is a calculated one. In other words, white people can survive Covid. I think the unspoken message is that black/brown/indignous? people DIE, and WE don't. I believe it is as sinister as all that.
ldelucchi41 I say _ _ _ _ them to donald and his father... their pathetic, he is running right now turning into the 'Hulk' on those steroids, I hope someone is there when he crashes... the Covid is still weaving its web... no matter how he thinks he is doing at this moment
Shows a sign of weakness. How pathetic.
I guess that goes for mental illness as well.
Ok Brigadier Bone-spur
She's the only good Trump
Toxic masculinity at its finest
ColoradoDavidSu 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
ColoradoDavidSu Ah, yes. I grew up with that bullshit, too. When I felt sick, my Mother said it was all in my head. When she got cancer, she believed she could cure it with positive thinking (and chemo). I still feel guilty when I don’t feel well.
Ridiculous.
Also POW'S who get caught.
A strong, positive attitude is important for overcoming obstacles in life. If you think you can’t do something, you don’t try. COVID is deadly for some people, but not everyone now. My 89 year old mom survived COVID with few symptoms and no medication.
The psycopathy of Trump inhibits his perception of strength. The size of his bombast only indicates how tiny he is and how inferior he feels. This perfectly describes his construct of fallacy & obsession with Barack Obama. Nevertheless, TrumpIsALoser
Mary can and will say whatever she wishes to promote sale of her book and make money off of the public! That tactic is NOT new, bad, maybe, but usual!
Mary we don't care about your hatred of family.
A germaphobe staying in a hospital must have been tough.
These two have more issues than Vogue🤦🏽♀️🙄
Every family has a black sheep.
I don't trust anything coming from a women who's trying to make a buck off her own family. She's desperate for attention
Well duh stupid...who really wants to be sick?
Well, yes. I'd agree that illness is unacceptable. Does anyone actually think that illness is acceptable?
That’s why they grew up weak.
Who. Cares.
Taxpayers do not allow you to take our money so that you can play 'Enquirer'. Dregs!
He’s not the only who thinks like that. And Trump will survive this nonchalantly, consistent with his principles. Good for him.
More insightful commentary from NPR, thank you for your bravery and your service
Mary Trump is the Trump family nut case - every family has one but quoted by the leftist media regularly.
Unforgivable for all the ones dead
What wad her opinion on Bigfoot and does she like scrambled eggs. Oh yeah, no one gives a shit. You got any real news?
And TRUMP is not ill, testing positive 4 the fake virus is as likely as not getting the fake virus, 99% will test positive and 99% will not get the virus~
except for bonespurs they were fine
I expect his wife is enjoying the break.
Probably unacceptable to make excuses. How would she know if she doesn’t have a close relationship with him? I think it’s unacceptable to make excuses because you have an illness. And have MS
She's such a great source. Lol
The fact that NPR has to quote a bitter estranged relative of realDonaldTrump is what is “unacceptable.”
......bone spurs......
Says most 18-30 years olds in America, look at the data!
Her opinion does not matter
Mary Trump grasping for fame.
So is 'being captured' a sign of weakness. Apparently bone spurs are not.
MaryLTrump just had to say something, didn't she! Honestly, she's just full of venom.
At least he doesn't suffer from TDS..like the hysterical leftist idiots here.
How did you escape the insanity? I guess your Mother is normal.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👆👆👆
Wonder what Fred Trump thought of dying? He did! His wife did! His son did! There is weakness in that gene pool.
THIS MARY CHICK IS TICKED OFF CAUSE SHE CANNOT USE HER FAMILY WE ALL HAVE ONE!! KARMA WILL COME TO HER DOOR !! NASTY WOMAN
She’s the family outcast. NOTHING HERE BUT HATE
Then he should have worn a mask and told the nation to do the same.
WTF? Why post this?
Illness = weakness; trump as POTUS is an EXTREME weakness !
BREAKING NEWS: President Trump passed gas. MORE BREAKING NEWS: Mary Trump says passing gas was unacceptable in the Trump family growing up.
That’s probably why they distanced themselves from Mary. She’s sick in the head. Her level of jealousy towards her family is unlike anybody has ever seen before.
Oh Mary, please go away
Is she still around
She really comes up with some beauts.
Need to change the name of this page to Trump haters anonymous. I havent seen one single thing about even one book in weeks, but Trump hate every other post! Lose the politics and get back to what matters!
Ridiculous article. Great grandfather died in 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, and she says some people treated her dad being a drunk as a moral failing. So that means Trump thinks being sick is “unacceptable.” Come on, NPR. This is gossip column stuff.
And her opinion is of interest...because why?
So.
none of this counts unless he dies from covid, btw
Is this really considered news?!
Illness interferes with productivity and making money. That is what people with no humanity, integrity think.
No one cares what the irrelevant Mary says.
This is the most stupid thing I had seen in my entire life. There should be a law against this. A president is elected for four years and has no right to endanger his own life or life of secret service! He is the most narcissist man.
cm_merlin At this point illness for quite a while looks pretty much guaranteed, even if Donald does well from here. Looks like enough has happened already for long term lung issues.
Except when it gets them out of military service.
That’s funny because all Donald has been in life is unacceptable & an illness to society 🤷🏽♂️
Why is the fuckin woman still talking?
Why is this news? She’s not relevant.
Trump to himself in his hospital suite:
Just making shit up now
Mary, don't get your panties is a twist, but a lot of families are like that. It makes you tough and strong.
Well... he has to accept it now!
Sounds racist 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How did they feel about her obvious mental illness?
TDS is incurable..... So this is important news? What a waste of digital space 😂😂
That’s a masculine trait as far as I remember. I think it’s a positive one.
Not unusual and certainly not need worthy.
Someone must have a really fragile ego to be embarrassed by sickness.
Give it a rest NPR. Seriously.
Rona dont care ...
That’s why they come through illness so strongly! If only more Americans had that ethic. Mary clearly the weak link of the Trumps. She would succumb to Covid for sure!
Mary Mary how sad for you, you’re never going to be part of the real Trump family and you were kicked to the curb, deal with it sweetheart.
No wonder he’s never taken the damn thing seriously.
Go away already. You’ve had your 2 minutes of fame. In other words’Bye Felicia’. stillirrelevant
The Trumps are compelled to show machismo at all costs.
Strong Work Ethics your issue is?
DefundNPR DefundPBS This is such typical NPR trash propaganda.
Which I assume is why he kicked The Covid’s ass
ENOUGH with this hag, she is wanting to cash in on the trump name and sell her books and get rich. She is a horrible person
NPR spread spreading gossip like the grocery store rag that it’s become. DefundNPR TrumpDerangementSyndrome
Cool, cause he is unacceptable as president and needs to go.
gut these fish Send a message to repressive and elitists leaders by charging Trump and his ilk with CrimesAgainstHumanity
So unnatural and arrogant to an extent of being quixotic.
Fredo Trump weighs in, goes against the family....Fredo!!.I love you...but never go against the family again!
Yall be so obsessed w him 😂
Including mental illness? A pity, if so.
Is anyone shocked? So Donald Trump is now a failure in his own eyes?
BIDEN KAMALA 2020
Except for the bone spurs. 😏
This includes a steep denial of mental “illness” no doubt.....
ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz........
NPR = Nazi Propaganda Register. The Axis Powers: Diversity Was Their Strength!
Go Mary!! Great book!!
What kind of bullshit reporting is this? NationalDemocraticPropagandaRadio
So my personal view has to be mentioned here? I don't get Mary Trump, she seems a bit like Trump.
PUT THE ADS BACK UP JOE....STOP BEING A DUPE.
Check this out. Excerpt from the article for the lazy ones
Many American children missing a father
Oh realDonaldTrump has sinned then
Who cares what Typhoid Mary thinks...🤔
It's pretty simple, actually. Bullies were bullied. He is a product of his childhood and he's angry at the world and generally has deep-rooted insecurities. Regardless of how he wants to portray himself, he is pitiful.
*rolls eyes*
Narcissism is an illness
Soooooooooo what ?..report some relevant news once just once
Any prseident that gets COVID is a loser. COVID19 TrumpCovid19
He doesn’t look ill to me. Oh npr you used to be a source of objective journalism but you sold out just like the rest of them.
Don’t you have any news to report?
But bone spurs was a sign of bravery.. - Mary Trump, the president's estranged niece, says illness was seen as 'unacceptable' by Donald Trump and his father, Fred Trump.
Is NPR still receiving federal funding?
Just like Vince McMahon.
And apparently so is paleness and baldness.
He’s a wimp. That’s why he does the bully impression.
You know who we’re not hearing about? The WH service staff. How many of the has the Rump infected? Do they not count?
SHO_RayDonovan
Is that sad case niece speaking up again. So sad for her low self esteem.
I’m not sure what is acceptable about Trump. He is a gross example of a human being.
He is a weak, soft male
But bone spurs are okay.... Got it...
What a family. Sorry Mary we are suffering now but you've had a lifetime of bullshit.
Why go to the well with this individual?
She should’ve came with all of this before the election. 🙄
Who finds illness acceptable? I mean, nobody goes to the doctor and gets diagnosed with cancer or COVID and says: well that's acceptable. I think I'd prefer the candidates who didn't want to be ill.
Weakness is getting helicoptered to a hospital and having 12 doctors watch u sleep. I get that he’s the prez and I can’t let something happen to him. But if the virus isn’t dangerous and illness isn’t tolerated self quarantine and drink some tea like a man😂
Which human being sees illness as acceptable? Seriously. Are you guys even remotely capable of producing groan-free headlines? It's an illness few of us find acceptable.
What's unacceptable is heads of state not in bio suits.... What if this was Ebola and half the heads of state were wiped out....
Whatever their views were they seemed to have worked out well for them. . . at least if making lots of money and becoming president of the United States is your goal.
😂 CRY MORE LIBS 😭
Dr. James Phillips, an attending physician at Walter Reed 'Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary Presidential 'drive-by' just now has to be quarantined for 14 days. They might get sick. They may die. For political theater. Commanded by Trump.''
You get your ass up out of bed and go to work. Calling in sick is for alcoholics and drug addicts.
DefundNPR as they are a DNC propaganda wing
That way of thinking is a weakness.
Does anyone really listen to this person that has an obvious grudge agree president and his family?
Mary is quite contrary.
So. What's your point?
This the niece that couldn’t produce one picture of her and trump? lol 😂
How will he ever look himself if the mirror again after catching a global pandemic while doing zero to protect himself. Shameful. Embarrassing. Lol
Sounds like something the weak sibling would exaggerate
except for bone spurs
She’s like “make sure you write estranged because I don’t want anyone to think I’m his normal niece”
