“My grandfather always had hundreds of millions of dollars to prop him up. We know that when after my grandfather died, Donald sold the Empire lock stock and barrel at a loss of approximately $300 million… There’s nobody else left to hand Donald a blank check anymore, and that’s what keeps him up at night because he’s terrified of having the truth about him being known.”
— Mary Trump, talking to MSNBC about her uncle, Donald Trump.
