**New York, NY** – Former President Donald Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist, has claimed that her uncle suffered a significant blow to his ego during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. According to Mary Trump, the moment Harris challenged Trump’s claims about his rally crowds, particularly those leaving early, caused a “narcissistic injury” he will never recover from.
Speaking on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” Mary Trump described the debate as a resounding defeat for her uncle, echoing the sentiment of many polls and pundits who favored Harris as the victor. She highlighted Harris’ ability to bait Trump, forcing him to defend his claims in a manner that exposed his fragility and thin-skinned nature.
“That was a narcissistic injury that he will never get over, actually,” Mary Trump said. “He will continue to defend himself against that even if he never says a word about it again.” She added, “That is how thin-skinned he is, that is how incredibly fragile his ego is.”
The debate saw Trump react defensively when Harris brought up the issue of his supporters leaving his rallies early, suggesting exhaustion and boredom with his remarks. He dismissed her comments, claiming, “People don’t go to her rallies, there’s no reason to go,” and insisted, “People don’t leave my rallies. We have the biggest rallies, the most incredible rallies in the history of politics.”
Mary Trump expressed concern about Trump’s potential reaction to further attacks from Harris, predicting a descent into dominance from a position of weakness. She also warned of possible attempts to cheat in November, claiming that Trump, sensing a potential defeat, will “take all of us down with him.”
Trump’s campaign communications director, Steven Cheung, dismissed Mary Trump’s claims as stemming from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Newsweek reached out to Trump’s office for comment but did not receive a response.
