Every family has issues, and that applies even to the Trump family. We often see just President Trump, first lady Melania Trump, and the President’s older kids, who seem to enjoy the spotlight more. But Trump also has an extended family, and they don’t all get along. For example, his niece, Mary Trump, has been a vocal critic of her uncle for a while, and now she’s taken it up a notch.

Donald Trump’s niece called her uncle “disgraceful” and “despicable” over Barron Trump’s connection to Andrew Tate. The influencer has been accused of rape and trafficking over 20 women and creating a criminal group for sexual exploitation, and routinely spouts misogyny on social media.

In a video on her Mary Trump Media account, the President’s niece says Trump was directly involved in the Tate brothers’ release from Romania last February to travel to the U.S. They had been barred from leaving the country, until, according to her, Trump intervened. Trump said he knew nothing about this when he was directly asked.

“Andrew Tate spent years courting high-profile conservatives and some of Donald’s top advisers,” Mary Trump said, which is in line with a New York Times report about the matter. “He made it very, very clear that he was a huge supporter of Donald Trump’s,” she added. “And with his massive social media following, that’s all you need for Donald Trump to do whatever he can to make sure, regardless of the horrific crimes you’ve committed, you get to be free.”

She also addressed the fact that Barron Trump, the youngest of the President’s sons, has been reported to be a “huge fan” of Tate.

“Now, imagine what kind of… oh gosh, what’s the word? Um, disgraceful, despicable parent you would need to be in order to think it’s okay for your son to listen to and admire a monster like Andrew Tate,” Mary Trump said.

Barron and Tate reportedly share on common friend, Justin Waller. It was Waller who told the Times that Barron Trump admired Andrew Tate and spoke with him over Zoom in 2024, with the outlet reporting the two discussed the belief that the criminal case against Tate was an attempt to silence him.

Mary Trump didn’t stop there, saying that it’s “hardly news that Donald is a terrible misogynist,” adding that “most of the women in my family were misogynists.”

And she even brought up Epstein, saying, “Donald has continued over the years to surround himself with like-minded misogynistic people, like Jeffrey Epstein, for example.” According to her, helping Tate was part of a strategy to capitalize on his social media following “to latch onto their young, predominantly white male audience,” which is seen as the base for Republicans.

Considering the criticism, it’s safe to say Mary Trump won’t exactly be invited to family dinner with the President and his immediate family anytime soon. And she probably wouldn’t want to be. She can continue to be vocally critical from the outside of that circle.
