Donald
Trump “has no principles” and people “can’t trust him” according to his eldest
sister, the first rebuke of the president from any of his siblings to be made
public since he took office.
In secretly
recorded audio published by the Washington Post on Saturday, Maryanne Trump
Barry, a retired federal judge, talks candidly to the president's niece, Mary
Trump, about her relationship with her brother, apparently unaware that she is
being recorded.
The
president’s niece has held longstanding animosity toward her uncle and recently
released a tell-all book claiming the president cheated on his college entrance
exams, among other revelations. The recordings' release comes as many members
of the Trump family are scheduled to speak at the Republican National
Convention next week.
In response to the report's publication, Trump said in a statement released by the White House: "Every day it’s something else, who cares."
Here are
some of the most notable quotes from the recordings:
“I’m
talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of
preparation. The lying. Holy sh-t.”
Barry said
this in describing her brother's conduct in running his administration since he
was elected president in 2016.
“He has no principles.”
Barry, who
as a federal judge had ruled on immigration cases, said this about the Trump
administration’s policy of separating migrant children from their parents at
the southern border. “All he wants to do his appeal to his base,” she added.
“He doesn’t read.”
Barry said
this in response to a question from her niece about what the president reads.
Trump has reportedly skipped reading daily intelligence briefings, instead
relying on oral reports and visual aids.
“Donald is cruel.”
Barry told
her niece this while discussing the ongoing conflict between her and her
brother since the 1980s, according to the Post.
“He was a brat.”
Barry said
this in explaining to her niece that she often did Trump’s homework for him and
that he paid someone to take his SAT exams for him.
“You can’t trust him.”
Barry said
this during a discussion about Trump’s business bankruptcies. Companies led by
Trump have filed for bankruptcy six times.
“He once tried to take credit for me.”
Barry said
this in reference to her appointment by then-President Ronald Reagan to a
federal judgeship in New Jersey. Barry had asked Trump to tell his personal
attorney, Roy Cohn, a friend of Reagan’s, to plead her case for the
appointment, but maintains she had risen to the position on merit.
“It was all about him.”
Barry said
this about Trump’s speech at their father’s funeral in 1999. “Donald was the
only one who didn’t speak about Dad,” she added. Barry reportedly did not
attend the funeral service for their brother, Robert, which Trump held at the
White House on Friday.
