Donald Trump remembered his late sister in a post shared to Truth Social.

"My great sister, Maryanne, passed away yesterday at the age of 86," he wrote via Truth Social. "A truly beautiful woman, tall and elegant, with a presence like no other, she was also a tremendous student, intellect, and Judge, in charge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, just below the U.S. Supreme Court."

"Her life was largely problem free, PERFECT, until I made it difficult for her when I decided to run for President," he said. "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!"

"While tough and strong, she was made to suffer in those years from 2016 until her Retirement," he added.

"I will never forget the many times people would come up to me and say, 'Your sister was the smartest person on the Court,'" he continued. "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!" the 77-year-old concluded.

And while Donald spoke fondly of his older sister in his social media post, she was once recorded admitting that she thought her brother was "cruel" and lacked "principles."

"All he wants to do is appeal to his base. He has no principles. None. None. And his base, I mean my God, if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this," she reportedly said in the audio clip.

"His god------ tweets and lying, oh my god," she continued at the time. "I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy s---."
