The late former president Donald Trump is in mourning for his sister Maryanne Trump Barry, who died in her Manhattan residence at the age of 86.
Trump lauded his sister’s intelligence and legal career, calling her a “truly beautiful woman, tall and elegant” with a distinct personality. Renowned for her noteworthy contributions to the legal field, Maryanne Trump Barry was nominated by former President Ronald Reagan to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

“Her life was largely problem free, PERFECT, until I made it difficult for her when I decided to run for President,” Truth Social was written by Trump.
Her brother’s political ascent cast a shadow over Barry’s final years, posing serious obstacles. Trump apologized for the challenges she faced following his presidential campaign.
“The Fake News, and others, went after her mercilessly, and because of the fact that she felt it inappropriate, due to her position, to defend herself, it just never stopped!” Trump wrote. “While tough and strong, she was made to suffer in those years from 2016 until her Retirement.”
Barry had a ground-breaking legal career. She became one of the first women to hold prominent judicial positions in that age when she was appointed to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in 1983, making history.
Her distinguished career was tainted by scandals. She resigned in 2019 after an ethics investigation regarding unreported income connected to the Trump family’s real estate holdings. Her brother did, however, draw attention to her efforts and his own sense of loss in a recent statement.
The former president expresses broad support and respect for Maryanne’s judicial acumen and intellectual strength. Her departure left an enduring legacy for the legal profession as well as the Trump family.

“I will never forget the many times people would come up to me and say, ‘Your sister was the smartest person on the Court.’ I was always honored by that, but understood exactly what they meant—They were right! She was a great Judge, and a great sister. She will be truly missed!”
