Jan. 20, 2025, was a day that changed this Trump’s life.
No, not Donald Trump, who was sworn in that day for his second, non-consecutive term as president. But his estranged niece, Mary Trump.
The latter Trump, who exposed her family secrets in a tell-all 2020 memoir and leaked financial documents to The New York Times that led to a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation into her uncle’s dubious tax schemes, revealed in her Substack Jan. 20 was a big deal in her life as well. What happened on that day, nearly a year ago, led to her getting married in a private ceremony last October.
In a Jan. 11 “The Good In Us” Substack post, Trump said she was “presented with an alternative to the shuttered, circumscribed, and lonely life” she'd been living on January 20th of last year, and she took it. Roughly nine months later, she married her “best friend” in a ceremony surrounded by some family and the couple's closest friends.
“I am married not only to the love of my life but to my best friend,” Trump wrote in the post that featured a black and white photo of two women holding hands. “Because I opened myself to the possibility that was held out to me almost a year ago, my other relationships have deepened in new and unexpected ways.
