Mary Trump on Monday broke down why she believes her uncle, President Donald Trump, is just “so needy and so grasping.”

The clinical psychologist and fierce critic of her relative explained on her “Mary Trump Live” show how she’s long put the president’s excessive seeking of validation down to the way he was treated by his father, Fred Trump, whom she described as a “patriarchal authoritarian sociopath.”

But FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s recent awarding of the first-ever FIFA Peace Prize to the president made her think more about just why he’s so “thirsty” for recognition, she said.

The “completely made-up and meaningless honor” was only given to Trump because he “cannot get the Nobel Peace Prize which he so desperately craves,” his niece argued.

If the president “had any self-awareness at all” then he would feel “ashamed” and realize he’s being played and mocked, Mary Trump continued, before suggesting why he needs “even meaningless gestures like that to make him feel better about himself.”

“The one thing Donald most desperately needs and has never gotten and will never get, because of how damaged and depraved his own father made him, is love,” she said. “That is why he needs more of anything else. Thinking that that will fill the void. More money, more power, a bigger ballroom, more fake medals and fake prizes and fake honors.”

On “some very dark level,” said Mary Trump, her uncle knows that getting more love is “impossible because none of those things, as much as my grandfather wanted to convince Donald and all of his other children and all of his grandchildren that money is not just the only thing that matters, but money stands in for everything else, it’s not true.”

“Nothing, nothing can replace love. And in his most terrified moments, Donald knows it. And all of us are paying that price,” she said.
