Maryanne Trump Barry, 83, said her brother 'doesn't read', and slammed him as 'cruel' over his immigration policies which saw thousands of children separated from their families and held in detention centres. The conversations with Ms Trump Barry, which were secretly recorded by her now estranged niece Mary Trump, appear to reveal a deep lack of trust in the President from within his own family, and are a potentially damaging blow ahead of the US Presidential elections on November 3.
In the recordings, obtained by the Washington Post and reported by the Daily Mail, Ms Trump Barry says her brother paid a friend to take exams for him to get him into college. That claim had previously been made by Mary Trump, who until now had not revealed the source of the allegation. Ms Trump Barry also says she used to do her brother's homework for him, and when asked about his achievements, cites "five bankruptcies".
