"Mary Trump's Insights into Donald Trump's Fascination with Dictators and Truth Social's Potential Impact"

Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and niece of Donald Trump, suggested that her uncle's admiration for authoritarian leaders may stem from his upbringing in an authoritarian household with his father, Fred Trump. She described her grandfather as a "straight-up sociopath" and explained that Donald Trump learned to navigate this environment to gain his father's approval. Mary Trump expressed concern about Donald Trump's comfort in associating with strongmen leaders like Viktor Orbán and Vladimir Putin, and former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull described Trump's behavior towards Putin as "creepy."
