Family knows.
Judge Maryanne Trump Barry, Trump's older sister and public supporter but private critic, dies at 86. She had to resign her federal judgeship after being suspected of helping in alleged Trump family tax frauds.
Her niece recorded her for a book critical of Trump.
“His g****mned tweet and the lying — oh, my God,” Judge Barry said in one of the recordings. “I’m talking too freely, but, you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying.”
At another point she said: “All he wants to do is appeal to his base. He has no principles. None.” She added: “It’s the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel.” “You can’t trust him,” she said.

And Donald Trump's niece, Dr. Mary Trump, Ph.D., explained that one key piece of Trump's New York fraud trial proved what a terrible businessman and "loser" he is.'
"He doesn't mind that he is going to be on trial for heading up a corrupt organization or stealing government documents or inciting an insurrection because that gives him street cred with his base."
What is different in the fraud case is that Trump is being forced to face the reality of his brand and image as a successful businessman when it has been nothing but smoke and mirrors his whole life."
"I think the simplest way to put it is this: Every lie he's told, every ounce of psychic energy he's spent over the decades has been in the service of protecting him from the truth about who he is," said Dr. Trump, a psychologist who penned a book about the family's history and how it influenced the former president. "And the closer he gets to being confronted with that truth, the more dangerous he is going to get, the more out of control he is going to get. Yes, we saw some fireworks in the courtroom, but that was a mere prelude to what we can expect, especially if, hopefully, he loses in 2024."
