And the bombshell revelations from Donald Trump’s niece, Mary Trump’s memoir keep dropping. Made available to reporters a week ahead of its early release, the book highlights a particular incident when Donald Trump made very inappropriate comments about his niece’s breasts while they were in Florida over two decades ago with his then-wife, Marla Maples.
Mary Trump, daughter of Fred Trump, the president’s late older brother, shares in her forthcoming memoir, "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man", that she was meeting with him as she was helping him write a book in 1994.
When she showed up at lunch at his Mar-a-Lago resort in a bathing suit, the elder Trump proceeded to make lewd remarks about her body.
"Holy s---, Mary. You're stacked," Donald Trump allegedly saiid, according to the book.
While the comments left Mary Trump, 29 at the time, stunned, Donald Trump’s wife Marla Maples reprimanded him in "mock horror", exclaiming “Donald!” before slapping him “lightly” on the arm.
"I was twenty-nine and not easily embarrassed, but my face reddened, and I suddenly felt self-conscious," Mary Trump has written in her memoir. "I pulled my towel around my shoulders. It occurred to me that nobody in my family, outside of my parents and brother, had ever seen me in a bathing suit."
This isn’t the first time that the U.S. President has been accused of sexual harassment and misconduct- since the 1970s, more than two dozen women have reported him. He even commented on his eldest daughter during a series of radio interviews with Howard Stern in the mid-2000s, calling her "a piece of ass" and to have "always been very voluptuous."
While Trump is yet to release a comment on his niece’s book, the White House has already released a statement, denying the contents of the book as it is full of “falsehoods.”
"Mary Trump and her book's publisher may claim to be acting in the public interest, but this book is clearly in the author's own financial self-interest. President Trump has been in office for over three years working on behalf of the American people — why speak out now?" said White House’s deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews.
