(CNN) President Donald Trump's niece Mary Trump -- a psychologist whose recently published book criticizes the President and his family -- asserted Friday that her uncle's childhood is affecting his ability to govern in a crisis. "He is not going to get better and he is without question going to get worse," she added. The book paints the President in an unflattering light and traces his governing style back to his childhood. When asked if the President was known among family members as someone who didn't tell the truth, Mary Trump asserted that he "does on some levels know what he's doing" and pointed to issues such as not wearing a mask. She said her uncle is not anti-science but will ignore facts in order to spin his preferred narrative.
