Donald Trump's daughter and son-in-law seem to distance themselves from him.
Mary Trump said they are turning their backs on him because he's losing value.
The couple don't need the former president, according to Trump's niece.
According to MSNBC, Donald Trump's niece said that his daughter and son-in-law cut ties with him because he was losing value.
Mary Trump, a long time critic of her uncle, told MSNBC that Trump's oldest daughter and her husband are removing themselves from politics because they realized that they gain more by staying away from Donald than they do by aligning with him.
She said that Donald is losing value in both politics and the party. They don't need Donald to be the same level of wealthy as they could be.
Mary Trump said that the couple, who both served as senior advisors to Trump during his administration, have grasped that their association with the former president had a negative effect on them.
It's the same with most of Donald's inner circle, there is always a transactional calculation being made and a lot of people are making the calculation that it just isn't worth it for them anymore
Trump's oldest daughter was not present at her father's campaign launch. He was present.
She said in a statement that she loves her father but doesn't want to stay in politics.
The couple traveled to Egypt with their three children and attended the World Cup in Qatar.
An unnamed source told The New York Post last month that Trump's eldest daughter hated all the criticism and the threats that came with politics, and was upset about how a lot of their friends turned their back on them.
The former president seems to be losing his grip on the Republican Party after many of the candidates he backed did poorly in the November elections.
A number of leading Republicans and conservative critics questioned Trump's effectiveness as a political leader after their failures.
Mary Trump wrote a book last year called "The Reckoning: America's Trauma and Finding a Way to Heal".
Trump has accused his niece of being biased against him.
