Trump Sister Calls His Son Eric a 'Moron,' Daughter Ivanka a 'Mini-Donald' [View all]

President Donald Trump's niece, Mary Trump, released more secretly recorded conversations with the president's sister Friday, in which Maryanne Trump Barry can be heard criticizing Ivanka Trump and branding her a "mini-Donald."

Mary appeared on MSNBC's The ReadOut on Friday to discuss the recordings. The 55 year old is the daughter of the president's late older brother Fred Trump Jr., who died in 1981.

She wrote a tell all book published in July titled: Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man, and has since been releasing secretly recorded audio clips.

In the recordings released Friday, Barry can be heard complaining about Ivanka's conduct and mocking Eric Trump, the president's second son. She was discussing Ivanka's decision to post a photo of herself with one of her children on Instagram even while the Trump administration was separating children from their families at the southern border.
