Mary Trump Says Uncle Suffered 'Narcissistic Injury' In Debate And Won't Recover

Mary Trump on Wednesday praised Vice President Kamala Harris for inflicting what she described as a “narcissistic injury” on her uncle, Donald Trump, during the opening minutes of Tuesday’s presidential debate.

Democratic nominee Harris’ way of getting under her Republican opponent’s skin just made him “unravel,” the former president’s niece told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

“He couldn’t recover and, honestly, he’s not going to,” she added.

Harris “so brilliantly” gave both “substantive answers to questions to help the American people get to know her better and what she’s going to do for our country while going straight at Donald’s vulnerabilities,” continued Mary Trump, who is a vocal and frequent critic of her relative.

Cooper read a paragraph from Mary Trump’s new book, “Who Could Ever Love You,” in which she detailed her uncle, as a child, being a “thin-skinned bully who beat up on younger kids but ran home in a fit of rage as soon as somebody stood up to him.”
