Mary Trump claims that not only was the president's story about his uncle teaching the Unabomber 'not true' but that he also told several other lies about his uncle

Leavitt scolded The Independent ’s Andrew Feinberg on Thursday when the D.C. correspondent brought up Trump’s “impossible story” about his uncle, noted Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor John Trump. He claimed that this father’s brother taught “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski at the famed university.

During a White House press briefing on Thursday, Press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about President Trump claiming that his uncle taught Ted Kaczynski despite passing away 11 years before the Unabomber's identity was leaked and being a professor at a different university.

President Donald Trump likes to boast about the brilliance of his late uncle John Trump, who spent decades as a professor of electrical engineering at the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

At an energy and innovation summit in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, President Donald Trump insisted that his uncle, Dr. John Trump, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, had once taught a “seriously good” student named Theodore “Ted” Kaczynski.

President Donald Trump recently made an impossible claim about the Unabomber, and when White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about it, she responded by insulting the reporter and completely dodging the question.

Trump’s uncle John, the MIT professor, died in 1985—11 years before the FBI determined that the Unabomber was a math Ph.D. named Ted Kaczynski. That aside though, what a story! So true about the thin line between insanity and genius—also, sounds like the Unabomber’s first crime was mansplaining, am I right?

President Donald Trump raised eyebrows this week when he claimed his uncle, John Trump, taught the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski. However, there is no evidence that Kaczynski, one of the most infamous domestic terrorists in American history, had ever been in a classroom with the president's uncle despite his boasting.

President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that his uncle, John Trump, taught Ted Kaczynski, the “Unabomber” terrorist who used mail bombs to kill his victims. The tangent occurred while he was speaking at the Pennsylvania Energy & Innovation Summit and appeared to be prompted by a discussion on artificial intelligence.

Theodore Kaczynski, known as the "Unabomber," died by suicide in custody at a federal prison medical center, sources told The Associated Press.

John Trump died in 1985, a decade before Kaczynski was linked to the Unabomber attacks. The alleged conversation would had to have occurred years before the public knew Kaczynski was responsible for the bombings, which killed three people and injured 23 others between 1978 and 1995.
