Clinical psychologist and author Mary L. Trump had a message for the world after her uncle Donald Trump's projected reelection—after a four year gap—on Tuesday.

Taking to Trump's former favorite social media platform, Twitter rebranded as X by MAGA minion Elon Musk, Mary Trump posted just 10 words.

She wrote:

"I am so deeply sorry. I thought better of us."

Mary L. Trump—only niece of Donald and the only daughter of Frederick Trump Jr.—has been a critic of her uncle for years.

She openly and publicly backed Hillary Clinton in 2016, Joe Biden in 2020, and Kamala Harris in 2024.

She also supported both of his impeachments.

After the violent insurrection on January 6, 2021, Mary Trump said Donald should be "barred from ever running for public office again."

People appreciated the sentiment and shared their own condolences and concerns.












Mary Trump has written three books addressing the family dynamics that shaped her uncle and other family members.

Too Much and Never Enough looked closely at her uncle Donald's formative years and the results of a toxic family environment. The Reckoning: Our Nation's Trauma and Finding a Way To Heal examined the collective PTSD of a pandemic during a polarizing Trump presidency.

Her latest book is a family memoir titled Who Could Ever Love You. It delves more deeply into Mary's own ostracized branch of the Trump family tree.

On Sunday, De Niro, a vocal critic of the Trump administration, called Miller "a Nazi," adding that Miller is "Jewish and he should be ashamed of himself.”

People Share Purchases Under $20 That Made Their Lives Way Easier

Sometimes, in an effort to improve our lives in some capacity requires us to make a significant dent in our bank account.

Even though it might be yogurt for dinner for a few weeks after, we still feel good about our expensive purchases when we see the difference a high-powered washing machine makes, or feel the cool air from our upgraded air conditioner.

Man Goes Viral After 3D-Printing A 6-Pound Phone Case To Combat Screen Addiction

Many Millennials will remember back in the nineties as the last of the "latchkey kids" who were prominently babysat by their televisions, and the commercials that rolled out, made popular on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, promoting kids to go play outside instead of watching TV all day.

Now in 2025, videos on Instagram and TikTok encouraging people to "pause their scroll" and to "put down their phones" are becoming more common and popular, because people are realizing how detrimental our increasing screen time is to our emotional, physical, and psychological health.

Woman Sparks Heated Debate After Encouraging People To Smile At Walmart Greeters

There's an old saying that goes, "It costs nothing to be kind."

Smiling at a stranger, saying hi back to a young and socialable child, holding a door for someone, and maybe even exchanging a pleasantry or two at the checkout line costs nothing more than a few words passing our lips and showing a little kindness.
