Psychiatrist Mary Trump described Donald Trump's behavior as a "narcissistic injury" in a post on X, referencing Peter Navarro’s recent podcast appearance.

In a recent X post, Mary Trump, a psychiatrist and the president’s niece, summed up Donald Trump's conduct with the phrase "narcissistic injury," after listening to Peter Navarro’s remarks on Steve Bannon’s podcast. She accused Navarro of lying about so-called hard truths regarding the 2020 election and lamented the media’s handling of the issue. Mary Trump also referenced her uncle’s longstanding pattern of rejecting unfavorable outcomes, from Emmy nomination disputes to claims of election rigging.
