So far, bestselling author Mary Trump has never been wrong in her analysis and predictions about her crazy uncle, the twice impeached ex-president Donald Trump. Which is part of what makes her comments in a new interview with the Independent so chilling.
Mary, who holds a PhD in clinical psychology, describes her uncle’s mental state as deteriorating rapidly since leaving the White House roughly one year ago.
“Somebody with the degree and the seriousness of the psychological disorders he has does not get better without any kind of therapeutic intervention,” she explains.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Like any other untreated illness, things just don’t miraculously get better, especially when you take into consideration the fact that he’s been under enormous amounts of stress. He probably suffered the greatest narcissistic injury of his life in 2020. And regardless of how many lies he tells himself or other people, he is a loser.”
She also has little hope for him getting better on his own, if at all.
“It would be, I think, impossible for him to have stayed at the same level or gotten better,” she says. “I absolutely think his condition has deteriorated.”
When asked about the House Committee investigating January 6, Mary says she’s been impressed with their work so far, but she also doesn’t think it’s going to have any impact on her uncle “because he’s so insulated.” It may, however, cost him supporters.
“But it will certainly start to peel people away from him,” she says. “Not the cult. But the 74 million people who voted for him weren’t all in the cult. They just don’t pay attention.”

“There are plenty of people out there who really, if they’re just watching Fox News, they don’t really know what happened. But … if hearings are televised on a regular basis, then it’s very it’s going to become very hard for a lot of people to continue to be shielded from that those truths.”
And as for her uncle running in 2024, Mary seems confident that he’s going to make another bid for the White House, provided his mental health doesn’t completely crumble before then.
“If he’s able to keep himself together, why wouldn’t he?” she says. “He needs to [run] to continue to fend off all these challenges, but … in a just world, all of these criminal and civil things would be resolved well in advance of that.”
“Unfortunately, that is still a legitimate question, but it’s still a wrong one. The question should be why he should be allowed to run.”

I love Mary and hang on her every interview. I think it’s because I find it deeply reassuring that someone from the Trump family can exhibit sanity, critical thinking. For Mary, I’m sure those traits were hard won. She must have had to swim through a lot of BS to find the shore. Keep on keepin’ on, Mary!

In a just world (not the case), the Senate should have voted to bar him from running again. However, right now, people should be focused on the November 2022 election and the danger a Congress potentially led by Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell would pose to democracy in the USA.

Fahd: They can’t legally keep him from running because although he has been impeached twice, he’s also been acquitted twice.
RTG
SamB- you’re missing Fahd’s point entirely. Trump was twice impeached by the House. The Senate chose to acquit. Had the Senate convicted Trump, he couldn’t run for office again.
daddytop
Sam B: If he is found guilty of a felony, he can’t run again. All the investigations and grand juries need to GET BUSY NOW!

Isn’t it funny that out of the 1000 plus days give or take that he spent golfing while running the country there hasn’t been one report of him on the links since.
Huh…
Mr. Stadnick
I guess its is because it isn’t news worthy as he is a private citizen now. Why you are trying make an issue out of something not reported?
Bromancer7
He lives at his own personal golf club, you twit.

All 45 has to do is step outside and play, there isn’t any press at Mar-a-Lago to report to the public what he’s doing.

Among the many things wrong with trump, he is a narcissistic sociopath. Like pedophiles, his brain is wired wrong and no amount of treatment can change this sociopathy. He is the most dangerous human to walk this earth since Hitler. A rubber room with no outside contact is the only way to contain this creature
cuteguy
Mary has been correct so far on her disgusting narcissistic fugly uncle. Go Mary
Cam
Her book outsold Donald Trump’s book within a month and her lawsuit against him is proceeding. She is his worst nightmare.

Hat;s off to the Secret Service for keeping that bastard alive from the far extreme haters out there!
Before he took office, he had already SCREWED OVER so many people, he already had a long list of people who would like to see him dead. After his reign as U.S. president, that list grew to over 80,000,000 Americans!

Mary Trump knows her uncle Donnie, he is a loser which is a death sentence in the Trump family.

Oh FFS! Stop talking about Trump running in 2024. It’s a fantasy. He will be spending the rest of his miserable life running from the law as he descends further & further into to the black hole of dementia. He has a strong family history of dementia and is showing many classic symptoms & behaviors commonly associated with clinically confirmed cases of frontaltemporal dementia. He personally owes hundreds of millions & has been rubbing elbows with some very bad actors.
He’s an evil person who lives the life of a mobster & will die like one. He’s done. Finished. He’s broken & ANY talk of his future beyond the next 12-18 months is pointless because by then he’ll most likely either be in a wheelchair being fed pudding from a spoon or else he will find himself at the wrong end of an assassin’s bullet.
Mark my words. You heard it here first. /end rant

It has now been a year since the January 6th attack on the Capitol, and the fact that Trump is still walking around a free man, holding his Nazi-style rallies, spewing lies to the American public, and undermining our elections and our democracy, is the greatest travesty of justice in American history. Trump should be arrested and charged with “Conspiracy to Overthrow the Legally-Elected Government of the United States of America,” denied bail, and sent to prison awaiting trial.

Ditto to you sir
MISTERJETT
say it, say it, say it, say it again!!!!!
johncp56
I,m a dumb ass I thought impeachment meant that and twice!!!!!! shame on the Nazi coup shameless criminals
Joshooeerr
If they wheeled Trump out on a trolley like Hannibal Lechter and he just drooled and mumbled incoherently for five minutes half of America would still vote for him. Trump is their revenge fantasy. If the hideous reality of his presidency and his clearly unhinged personality doesn’t put them off, nothing will.
MISTERJETT
i’d rather see them wheel him out on a stretcher with his body covered with a sheet.
MISTERJETT
the fools legacy: golfing, tweeting, lying, getting impeached, the corona virus and getting impeached again.

Where’s Allen Dulles, J. Edgar Hoover, George H. W. Bush, and Lee Harvey Oswald when you need them?

I love hearing everything Mary Trump has to say about the orange turd, but I truly hope this was not a quote!
“There are plenty of people out there who really, if they’re just watching Fox News, they don’t really know what happened. But … if hearings are televised on a regular basis, then it’s very it’s going to become very hard for a lot of people to continue to be shielded from that those truths.”
And dang, it was a pain to setup my account. Hope I can figure out the profile pic.

I’m terrified. Liberals will figure out how to piss enough people off again to possibly lose to this world threat again. They’ve already turned on Biden for no good reason… Keep talking your nonsense. There are ramifications.
