niece saysFormer President Donald Trump was "doing his best Mussolini imitation" when he removed his mask while still infected with COVID-19, his estranged niece Mary has said in her new book, which was excerpted by The Guardian.
Trump was widely criticized last October when he checked out of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center despite still being infected with the coronavirus. When he returned to the White House by helicopter, he removed his mask for the cameras while appearing to struggle for breath and wince in pain.

Writing in her new book "The Reckoning," Mary Trump - a clinical psychologist - said the former president was "afraid" when he made the display.
She described a pained expression on his face that she recognized from his grandmother, the excerpt said.

The problem is that he's still not done doing his best to screw up the country and take down democracy.
