Getty Donald Trump's niece Mary Trump provided The Washington Post with secretly recorded audio of her conversations with Maryanne Trump Barry.
A phone call between Donald Trump's niece Mary Trump and the president's older sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, was released by The Washington Post on August 22. The call was secretly recorded by Mary, who recently published The New York Times best-selling tell-all book, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man.
Mary, 55, provided The Post with 15 hours of "face-to-face conversations with Barry in 2018 and 2019," the paper reported. "She provided The Post with previously unreleased transcripts and audio excerpts, which include exchanges that are not in her book."
Barry, 83, a retired federal judge, and the oldest of the Trump siblings, said of her brother as president, "His goddamned tweet and lying, oh my God. I'm talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy s***."
"All he wants to do is appeal to his base," Barry continues. "He has no principles. None. None. And his base, I mean my God, if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this."
During another part of the conversation, Barry, who has not publicly spoken critically of her younger brother says, "It's the phoniness of it all. It's the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel."
It was Barry Who Revealed to Mary That Trump Hired a Proxy to Take His SATs
In Mary's book, she wrote about the bombshell claim that the president cheated on his SATs. She said that her uncle paid a proxy to take the standardized test, enlisting "a smart kid with a reputation for being a good test taker, to take his SATs for him."
The high score the proxy earned for him, Mary added, helped the young Donald Trump to later gain admittance as an undergraduate to the University of Pennsylvania's prestigious Wharton School. Trump had "worried that his grade point average, which put him far from the top of his class, would scuttle his efforts to get accepted."
"Donald, who never lacked for funds, paid his buddy well," Mary wrote of the person who took the SATs for Trump.
In response to Mary Trump's claims, Deputy White House Press Secretary Sarah Matthews told The Daily Mail, "The absurd SAT allegation is completely false."
However, during the phone call between Mary and Barry from November 1, 2018, Trump's sister said that Donald was "a brat" and that "I did his homework for him."
Barry continues on to say, "He went to Fordham for one year [actually two years], and then he got into the University of Pennsylvania because he had somebody take the exams. I know he didn't get into college. He had someone take his exams… SATs.. whatever. I even remember the name."
'Donald Is Out for Donald, Period,' Barry Said of Her Brother
During another conversation between Mary and her aunt shared with The Post, she asked Barry what her uncle had ever accomplished on his own. "I don't know," Barry said. "Well, he has five bankruptcies."
"Good point," Mary responds. "He did accomplish those all by himself."
"Yes, he did," Barry concludes. "Yes, he did. You can't trust him."
While Trump's companies have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection six times, the President has never personally declared bankruptcy.
"He once tried to take credit for me," Barry says of Trump, recalling how he always kept saying, 'Where would you be without me?'" after she asked Donald for help to earn then-President Ronald Reagan's nomination for a federal judgeship. Barry said that Trump's attorney, Roy Cohn, was "like kissing buddies" with Reagan.
"He had Roy Cohn call Reagan about needing to appoint a woman as a federal judge in New Jersey," Barry told Mary. "Because Reagan's running for reelection, and he was desperate for the female vote." There's photo evidence in the Reagan Library of Trump meeting with Reagan at the White House on August 4, 1983. According to Reagan's diary, he met with Barry on September 13, 1983. The very next day, she received the nomination.
Barry told Mary that Trump never let her forget how he made her career. She told Mary that it was "the only favor I ever asked for in my whole life," but that she earned the judgeship "on my own merit."

Somebody spank me. I'm enjoying this way too much. But it's time for Trump to learn that you can't treat people like shit your entire life and expect to get away with it.
I'm betting she's off the Christmas Card list for good now......
I have to wonder if it might be some kind of relief for her. She knows the kind of man he has been his whole life, and chose to remained silent. While that usually works to one's credit, it can become a huge burden at some point, especially with so much at stake. If it were me, I think I would be miffed for a bit by the secret recording, but I would be relieved that the truth was coming out...without technically being the one who spilled the beans.
And I thought that I had a dysfunctional family.
Sorry Sis but you are making the mistake of thinking that any of this embarrasses him. Since Trump has no conscience, it won't. It may piss him off but he'll 'get away with it'.
You are probably right. But I'll settle for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris returning this country to it's former greatness and making the future full of possibilities.
Dump Trump 2020!!
"Technically," according to Trump doctrine, he has to 'hit' her back equally as hard.
Which IMHO wouldn't be a 'good look' for Trump either. Attack without being able to refute would also seem to bolster the authenticity of the claims made in the book. It's a loose loose for Trump.
Of course, we all know he can't help himself so I for one expect he'll say something disgusting about his niece and possibly his sister.
Surely! By now he has found a discretionary way to ask 'big sister' what else she stated that possibly could be on another tape!
Just desserts. Usually I am against secret recordings, but this SOB Donald won't tell us anything fair and honest about himself, while he seeks to exploit everything he can about others. So "F" him! (Yes, Donald makes me cuss and spit!)
Shit boy howdy. There won't be any dinner invitations to the White House.
She's thinking, "Damn I should have grabbed those monogrammed towels and bathrobes and china and other useless White House trinkets when I had the chance!"
Man, the hits just keep on coming for Trump.
And just in the nick of...
it'll be a f'n media shit storm in the last three weeks before election day...
Trump "weathers" everything by changing the narrative. Can democrats 'flex' and roll with Donald to max points or will they keep letting him nail their DNC asses to the mat?! Wake up DNC-fight for all you are worth right now!
It is sad that his base knows Trump is a liar, cheat and a fraud----and they do not care. In fact, they glorify it.
I grew up with a whole lot of 'you are the company you keep', 'if your friends jumped off of a cliff...', etc. It's one thing for his base to show a major lapse in judgment by believing everything he says. It's another for his staff, his cabinet, and those politicians like Mitch McConnell and Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz, to back up the lies, and repeat the lies, and even make up their own. Don't they know that they will never be trusted again? Mike Pence will never be trusted again. Mike Pompeo will, wait, scratch that. Mike Pompeo came into it with questionable character. And Bill Barr? Someone just needs to move him directly from the White House to the nearest Club Fed.
I think Trump's sister will attack their niece for secretly recording her. Maryanne's mindset is closer to her brother's than it is to Mary's.
Democrats need to learn how to fight a 'cut-throat' businessman (and throw his ass on the mat for the count and keep it there), without becoming 'bloody' themselves.
As a Federal Judge, Maryanne is quite aware that Mary's recordings are completely legal. From what I've read, the recordings don't tell Maryanne's tails, they tell the Donald's so she can't claim any personal harm.
Thus far the sister has said nothing and she's had plenty of time to do so. Maryanne also knows the recordings are legit and legal.
Mary can take care of herself I am betting.
Very telling when his own family calls him a piece of shit.
Somehow I believe his base will either dismiss it or call it fake.
