President Trump told a rally in Florida he was 'never particularly attracted' to either of his sisters.

President Trump told supporters at a rally in Daytona Beach, Florida on Friday that he was 'never particularly attracted' to either of his sisters whilst attacking Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar over allegations she married her brother. 'I did not marry my sister!' Trump told the crowd. 'I had two lovely, lovely sisters. I have one left, Elizabeth, she's great. But I have never proposed to them. They're beautiful, but I was never, I was never particularly attracted to either of them. It's not my deal.'

Trump's eldest sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, was a federal appeals judge on the United States Court of Appeals. She died in November 2023 aged 86. His other sister, Elizabeth Trump Grau, is 84 and lives in Palm Beach, Florida. She previously worked as a banker and was married to film producer James Grau until his death in 2023.

The remarks drew mockery online. Conservative commentator Richard Hanania responded on X that Trump is 'genuinely losing it'. Social media users questioned the comments, with some citing Trump's previous 2006 remarks about his daughter Ivanka.
