‘Literally no kindness’: Trump family member laughs when asked about President’s nice acts
A member of Donald Trump's family laughed and struggled Sunday to think of an example when asked about a time the President was nice to a woman in the family.
Mary Trump, the President's niece and a trained psychologist, did a live Q&A over the weekend in which she was asked various questions from viewers.
One individual asked Mary Trump, "Can you remember a time when he was nice to any woman in your family? His mother, cousins, aunts, etc."

After laughing at the question, Mary Trump says Donald Trump and another family member, his sister Maryanne Trump Barry, both struggled with empathy in part thanks to influences from their father.
"Not really," she answered. "Not in a deep, genuine way."
She went on to say that, while she has no desire to create compassion for him, "Both of them, at one point, did have impulses to be kind, empathetic people, but it was so deformed by my grandfather's abuse, that they just couldn't do it."
"She tried harder and managed on occasion," Mary Trump added. "For Donald, it just completely... it was so weak. That impulse was so weak, and there were so many people including my grandfather fueling the opposite impulses."
She concluded her answer by saying, "It just couldn't last. There's literally no kindness or empathy left in this person at all."
