Mary Trump has accused her uncle Donald Trump of throwing a baseball ‘as hard as he could’ at her when she was just five years old, with journalist April Ryan calling the president the male version ‘of Cruella de Vil’
President Donald Trump was accused by his niece of supposedly hurling a baseball “as hard as he could” at her when she was merely five years old.
Speaking frankly with journalist April Ryan, the president’s niece discussed the family dynamics, explaining that her grandmother would typically spend time with the girls whilst her grandfather would spend time with the boys. “I tried to hang with my brother and my cousin and my uncles, but one, I was the youngest, and two, I was a girl, so they didn’t really want me around, but I would try,” Mary remembered.
Mary recounted on Friday that whenever the future president would visit, which she said was frequent given that they spent most weekends there, she would often try to play sports with him and her Uncle Rob. “We’d play either soccer or throw baseball in the backyard,” she told Ryan.

“So yes, I would play ball with them,” Mary continued. “But Donald, despite the fact that he was 20 years older than I was and I was five, would still throw the ball as hard as he possibly could.”
Ryan was stunned by the revelation. “What? Oh my God,” she exclaimed whilst labelling the president the male equivalent “of Cruella de Vil.”, reports the Irish Star.
Mary Trump has consistently criticised her uncle since he returned to office. Most recently, Mary condemned the president after he appeared to forget where his father was born. During a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump mistakenly claimed that his father was born in Germany. “I love the U.K., my mother was born there,” Trump remarked whilst discussing the nation’s energy and immigration issues.
The president then gestured towards Merz, stating, “My father was… he knows all about my father. My father was born there.” However, the president is mistaken. His late father was actually born in the Bronx, New York. Mary subsequently posted a biting tweet accusing the president of being incorrect.
“This is not the kind of insider knowledge most people have access to, but my grandfather, Fred Trump, Sr., was not born in Germany,” she declared. “He was born in the Bronx, NY, and grew up in Woodhaven, Queens–something you’d think his favourite son would know.”
Representatives for Donald Trump have been approached for comment.
