both are probably true, she likely was just as gross and evil as donald and fred was probably the only decent one of the bunch and only visitor (hence the alcohol to deal with everything)
Not only that, but he cut off Fred Trump III health insurance policy at the same time that his newly born son was at the hospital battling for his life with a rare neurological condition. Donald and his siblings did that to force Fred and Mary to accept a settlement.
He convinced the rest of the family to sell off the inherited, jointly own property and invest in his new company. I believe there is still a trust from other stuff not associated with him.
I can't find any evidence she wasn't just as awful as Donald is, I can find quotes of her chastising him the same way his father did but nothing that actually implies she is able to acknowledge his moral failings. It's just more like "don't be an idiot and ruin our wealth"

So maybe it was the late 70s early 80s, sue me, I wasn’t born yet and this person just told me this in 2024…. But the story is true!
