Mary Trump tore into her cousin Donald Trump Jr. in a recent podcast interview, calling him "deeply unintelligent" and "weak."
"I've been asked this: who's the stupidest one, and it's him," said the psychologist - who is being sued by her uncle, former President Donald Trump, for publishing a book criticizing him - in a Wednesday episode of the liberal podcast "UnPresidented."
Mary Trump added that her cousin was "left in the dust" by his father, who favors Ivanka.
"And yet he still tries, doesn't he?" said Mary Trump. "I think he's like many other people in my family. He has no core, no ideology, no beliefs, and he'll out-racism anybody, he'll out-misogyny anybody, he'll shoot as many innocent animals as possible to get whatever passes for affection in my family."
She also said that because Donald Trump Jr. is the oldest son in his family, he was born with expectations to follow in his father's footsteps and surpass him.
"He had no intention of striking out on his own, he had no intention of doing anything but sucking it up and toeing the line," she said.
Additionally, she took aim at Donald Trump himself, saying he is "the weakest person on the planet."
Mary Trump has been an fierce critic of the former president and his children, blasting her uncle as a "fascist" and calling for him to be put in prison.
