Trump's niece on ex-president's news conference: 'Looked like he was gonna cry'
Former President Donald Trump's niece Mary was stunned by her uncle's appearance at a Mar-a-Lago press conference Thursday afternoon.
The author and psychologist discussed on her YouTube platform, "Mary Trump Media," the Republican nominee's mental fitness with two co-panelists who appeared shocked by the hour-long question-and-answer session.
"He looked so lost, he looked so incredibly incompetent and clueless, and crazy," Mary Trump said. "At one point it looked like he was gonna cry."
Mary Trump heaped criticism on what she dubbed a "train wreck" and the corporate media representatives she felt didn't go far enough to hold her uncle to account.
"If the New York Times doesn't call for him to step down, I don't know what I am going to do," Mary Trump said. "He's clearly rattled."

She was likely referencing the controversial editorial the Times published after President Joe Biden's disastrous debate against Trump, calling into question his age and fitness.
Biden, 81, ultimately stepped aside and endorsed Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee. The Times also condemned Trump, called on Republicans to reject him and said he was "unfit to lead." This call appeared on July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention.
She slammed Trump for his response to a journalist who asked about his recent lack of campaign appearances and was told, "What a stupid question."
"How offensive that is," said Mary Trump, "to speak to a fellow human being that way?"
Mary Trump argued it was vital that the Republican nominee face an opponent that could challenge him with the necessary force.
"He is afraid, he looks frail," Mary Trump said. "If he's pressed, the way we know Kamala Harris can press him, he's not going to be able to hold it together."
