Mary Trump did not hold back when talking about Meghan McCain in a new interview with The Daily Beast published this morning.
Asked about being snubbed by John McCain’s daughter during a recent appearance on The View, Mary joked, “I think she’s just really kind and wanted to help me sell more books.”
“No, that’s not it,” she continued. “I think she’s a coward. And she’s afraid of people who are not only willing but able to call her out.”
As you may recall, McCain refused to speak to Trump earlier this month, resulting in Trump taking her to task in absentia.
How about we take this to the next level?

Mary Trump, the only honest and decent Trump, calls out Meghan McCain for ditching her segment on ‘The View’. pic.twitter.com/sqYX6rKr3E

The two women famously butted heads last year when Trump went on The View to promote her first book.
McCain, without any hint of irony, accused her of trying to “cash in” on her family name. Then she said she didn’t like Trump’s book (which she admitted she didn’t read) and that she didn’t think she was “legitimate” and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Trump pushed back and, most people agree, made McCain look like a complete idiot.
“I’m pretty sure she probably remembers our first meeting,” she tells The Daily Beast. “It was the first time in an interview somebody had been rude to me and I pushed back.”
Trump added that the encounter with McCain ended up being “great for me” because “it was also sort of a confidence booster because I realized that I can do that. I can deal with stuff like that.”
She went on to say that, out of all the media appearances she’s ever done, McCain was the most disrespectful interviewer she’s ever encountered, a feeling many others can likely relate to.
“I literally can’t remember the last time somebody was that disrespectful to me,” she said. “I’ve done nothing to her.”
And as for being snubbed by John McCain’s daughter earlier this month, Trump says was fully planning to “eviscerate her” but “then I find out she’s not going to be on my segment even though I’d spoken to her producer for like half an hour.”
“You know, she’s awful. I mean, she’s just a nonentity.”

Meghan who?

As Mary Trump notes, at least at this point, Meghan really is a nonentity.
Jer
I can get politics anywhere. I’d like Queerty to focus on the characteristic that binds us together.
Cam
Every single time there is an article on a Republican like Meghan McCain a new screename comes here to cry about that topic being reported on. Funny how there are plenty of non-political topics on other threads that you didn’t comment on.
Your troll game is sad and weak.
Den
“I can get politics anywhere.”
Yeah, but you cannot get it with quite as much shade as you can here. Perhaps you’re a fan of McCain and can’t stomach her getting the ridicule she so richly deserves?

Cam? Is this your 12th username?

@Liquid Silver
Thank you for always confirming when I’ve spotted a new one of your screenames.

I love the My Father supercut. Just hilarious.

How interesting!
Apparently queer elites are more interested in this BS – being JO’ed by this BS –
than in millions of queer Afghans likely to be beheaded, stoned, burned alive … or maybe only having their hands cut off.
WHERE are all the queer groups protesting in the streets! with signs and shouts
‘Afghan queer lives MATTER’ … and ‘Defund the Taliban – by defunding Pakistan and Iran’, etc.
And where are all the queer folks DEMANDING that Muslim electeds in the US go to the streets, make resolutions in Congress, in City Hall, etc …
against the Taliban?
Or do American queer folx not care that much about others?
Well?
We’ll see if there are any marches, any protests, in American cities – we’ll see if Muslim electeds REALLY DO want to protect women and girls (cis, trans and alt) and queer guys and gals and others, by denouncing the Taliban, … we’ll see if lots of queer folx get on planes and go to Afghanistan to link arms in a kumbayah/love and justice circles around queer people.
Well?
Cam
Funny how you were never posting about this until Republicans and FOX News said to go out and try to make hay by feigning outrage over it.
I might believe your concern if you weren’t, under all of your screenames, constantly attacking both Muslims and LGBTQ people on here constantly.
Heywood Jablowme
To anyone new here:
Cam and rural queer socialist are the same person. If anyone else had dared to respond to rsq’s crap – no matter how they responded – Cam would have declared that commenter to be yet another manifestation of “the right-wing troll.”
Cam has another long, long day of protecting the Queerty comments section from… himself!
That is Cam’s job, and one has to wonder who is paying him.
Cam
@Heywood Jablowme
LOL!!!
Oh sweetie, you’re trying aren’t you?
So once again, the right wing troll account tried to have multiple accounts back up right wing bigots, got called out, tried to steal my screename, got exposed, now tries to use one of it’s screenames to rant about Afghanistan, gets called out again for having multiple screenames, and then, as always switches to another screename, to play the game of “I know you are but what am I”?
And as usual, the second screename is still obsessed with me for calling out it’s right wing bigot defending multi-screename a**.
Your obsession with me is hilarious, and your trolling is sad and weak.
Vince
Heywood Jablowme
You ever wonder why no one here is interested or buying that Cam is all these other trolls but you? You ever get tired of your crusade to expose him?
There’s more then enough homocon trolls on this site and cam sure as hell doesn’t need to make them up just for attention.
Heywood Jablowme
@Vice: I can think of a dozen regular commenters here who agree with me that Cam is doing just that. Of course, Cam claims to believe “they” are all “me” too. Who the fk has the time? We all have jobs. Except for Cam, apparently.
Cam has NO proof of any of his charges. Never. We on the other hand can often disprove his claims with a Google search. Which Cam then ignores.

——————————————————
A dozen of your other screenames don’t count. Also, if you’re going to pretend to not be a multi-screename troll you may want to change up the wording you use to attack me when you switch screenames.
That said. Meghan McCain helps fund her husband’s bigoted, anti-LGBTQ website and cashes in on her family name to get attention and money. Typical Republican, bigoted, with no integrity.
Heywood Jablowme
Again with Cam’s magical troll-identifying superpowers!
As I cited on Sunday, it actually IS possible to identify someone by their writing style – albeit with only about 80% accuracy. All you need is special software for it and at least a 50,000 word sample. Look it up, this is a fact.
You’re on, Cam. All us Queerty commenters you claim are THE troll are on Google. There’s your word sample. Have at it. Lol.
Cam
Your obsession with me is delicious.
Don’t worry, I understand your rage, it looks like Queerty blocked the account you set up that stole my screename. I know that probably ruined your week.
Now back to Meghan McCain supporting an anti-LGBTQ website and promoting right wing conspiracies direct from her husband to “The View’s” audience.
Heywood Jablowme
Mary Trump was just on “Morning Joe” this morning. Informative and inspiring, as always!
Cam
I love it when one of the right wing troll screenames, after defending bigots and attacking LGBTQ victims, thinks it can post something like this and everyone will forget what this screename has been saying for the past month or so.
So much trolling, so little success.
Heywood Jablowme
“thinks it can post something like this and everyone will forget what this screename has been saying for the past month or so.”
Okay, PROVIDE A CITE. You act like Google doesn’t exist. Cite ANYTHING I have posted that was “right wing.” (Criticisms of your own trolling don’t count.)
jcool
so wait, this article is about mary trump, right?
whay are you all commenting about yourselves?
Heywood Jablowme
I tried to do that, but it’s the CAM Show! Cam always wants attention attention attention! He’s a lot like Mary Trump’s uncle that way.
Check out the recent article about (believe it or not) two gay dads and their kid’s sleepover. Cam hijacked even THAT comment thread, and confirmed beyond all doubt that he’s a mentally ill wackadoodle.
jcool
maybe we can ask queerty to do weekly profiles of the most prolific comment contributors. take a nice head and shoulders photo, give us some insight into the “real cam”. what do you think?
Cam
@Heywood Jablowme @JCool
LOL!!
Wow, even though I have pointed out multiple times how you always come i to back up your new screenames you still can’t resist it can you?
No matter what screename you’re under, your rage at and obsession of me still seems to shine through.
Now back to Meghan McCain’s bigotry, hatred, and how she used her father’s name to pass off her husband’s right wing conspiracies’ to her audience.
jcool
ok cam, i’ll admit my obsession. i totally want to “white lotus” you.
but can we still get the in-depth profile? i’ll even volunteer to do the interview, maybe over brunch?
@heywood jablowme i went back and looked at the sleepover story. you’re right
Heywood Jablowme
@jcool: I think that’s an interesting idea but I doubt Cam would go for it. And of course, Cam would be the Top Ten commenters all by himself!
@Cam: If you’re so concerned about multiple screen names here, why don’t you urge Queerty to check IP addresses and ban anyone doing that? Something to hide… hmm?
Heywood Jablowme
@jcool: Hey, thank you for looking at the evidence! Heh heh. But I’m afraid the White Lotus reference might go over Cam’s head. I loved the show but I doubt Cam has seen it yet. He was recently lecturing someone, who disliked something about it, that they must be “the right-wing troll” because they were against “LGBTQ representation.” And it was painfully obvious that Cam hadn’t even seen the show!
I was thrilled by Mary Trump’s first book and will definitely read her new book.
Cam
@Heywood Jablowme
Wow, 3 responses to my last comment under 2 different screenames? your obsession is just sad but also funny.
Now back to Meghan McCain and her abuse of her family name so she can push out fake Republican right wing conspiracies and help fund anti-LGBTQ hate sites.
Heywood Jablowme
@Cam/rural queer socialist: Again, if you’re so concerned about multiple screen names, why don’t you urge Queerty to check IP addresses and ban anyone doing that? Something to hide… hmm?
Your troll game is SAD and WEAK!
jcool
@cam
you’ve posted nine times in this thread, at least under the name cam, all of them a direct response to a different post, never about the article. and NOW you want to change the subject to meghan mccain because you’re being consistently called out?
sad and weak
ps – the article was about mary trump
Cam
@jcool LOL!!!!
Oh My God!
So let’s see, I call out the troll account for having multiple screenames and it starts yelling that I have multiple screenames.
I point out that the troll has only been attacking me and not mentioning the topic of the article, and it then makes the same claim about me.
The only problem troll? You’re SO bad at this, that not only did you try to hide the fact that I have mentioned Meghan in my posts that also call you out….but in your post lying that I didn’t mention the actual article, you…….DIDN’T MENTION THE ARTICLE! LOL!!!!!!
Does switching screenames cut off oxygen to the brain? Just checking troll.
jcool
ok cam if you were paying attention you would note that my first post in this thread was asking why everyone talked about themselves, not mary trump. (why do you keep pretending this was about meghan?)
you use almost as many exclamation points as miss teri !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
coincidence?
i think not
Cam
@jcool
And again and again, you are so obsessed with me, no matter what screename you’re under that you can’t even talk about the actual article.
Which is that cowardly bigot Meghan McCain is terrified to face people who have actual facts so hid from Mary Trump.
jcool
hey cam, my arch enemy (like penguin or joker)
i’m talking to heywood about starting a new club, about losers.
we’ll probably have our meetings at fun places, like cedar point.
you’re soooooo not invited.
