President [Trump]'s Sister Describes Trump as Liar With 'No Principles' in Recordings

WASHINGTON — Maryanne Trump Barry, President Trump’s older sister and a former federal judge, described him as a liar who has “no principles” in a series of audio recordings made by her niece, Mary L. Trump, in 2018 and 2019.

The recordings were provided to The Washington Post, which published them online Saturday night. In the recording, Ms. Barry can be heard disparaging her brother’s performance as president.

“His goddamned tweet and the lying, oh, my God,” she says in one of the recordings posted by the newspaper. “I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying.”

I think it’s worth reposting this story since she died today.

Does anyone in his family actually like him, other than his spawn? Imagine having to grow up with this guy.

If TFG was my brother I'd lie low, too.

and she gave a “no comment”. I think that says a lot. You’d think if she really liked her brother, she’d at least try to say something positive.
