Trump’s psychologist niece says he’s ‘dementing’ in wake of ‘gibberish’ answer on childcare question

Mary Trump, the niece of Donald Trump, has shared her analysis that the former president’s mental health is deteriorating after he struggled to answer a question on childcare.

Mary Trump wrote that the answer was “gibberish” and the only thing that made any sense was the phrase “childcare is childcare.”

Mary Trump argued that reporters were “imbuing” words with “meaning that is not there,” adding that it’s “deeply disturbing that somebody as unhinged and incoherent as Donald is allowed to run for the presidency in the first place.”
