Donald Trump‘s niece, Mary Trump, has been consistently accurate when it comes to her predictions about her famous family, which is what makes her most recent remarks about her cousin, Ivanka, feel so ominous.
Speaking to MSNBC’s Alex Witt on Sunday, Mary said she doesn’t expect her uncle to fall on the sword for any of his children, even his beloved Ivanka, who was recently asked to speak before the January 6 committee.
“Donald isn’t playing the card that she’s his child to protect her,” she said. “He knows she may, indeed, have potentially damning information.”
But it’s a two way street, Mary notes. Because she believes Ivanka is just as big of an asshole as Donald and is likely making a “calculation” as to what will “help her in the long run.”

“She knows she has to come down on the right side of things. Or, she’ll continue to stay her father’s ally, and have to see how that plays out,” she said. “She’s in a very bad situation because she must understand that if Donald feels it’s necessary, he will stop protecting her.”
“Donald will throw anybody under the bus if he believes it’s in his best interest to do so. If he believes it’ll help play out the clock, if he believes that it will help him avoid accountability, that’s all he cares about.”
Mary also said her cousin should cooperate with the January 6 committee because the American people “deserve” to know what happened.

“She worked for the American people, not for her father,” she remarked. “This is an adult human being. She’s 40 years old. She has children of her own. So the whole ‘she should be protected because she’s his child’ is absurd on its face. She owes the committee truthfulness about what happened that day.”

Expecting truthfulness from Ivanka Trump is wish that will probably never be fulfilled.

Queerty, again, please look up the definition of prediction.
LeBlevsez
“Prediction” means an estimate of outcome, and can be based on anything from statistical analysis and scientific methodology to personal experience or expertise to crystal ball mysticism. I’m pretty sure Mary Trump is using the analytical/experiential kind. I’m certain Queerty is using the word properly.

LeB: Prediction synonyms are “forecast” “conjecture” “guess”
What Mary is doing is an analysis. Definition: A detailed examination of the elements or structure of something.
Mr. Stadnick
Hack gossip columnists don’t look things up. Queerty is happy when everything is spelled correctly.

The right wing troll account DESPERATLY comes in to deflect from the main point of the story. Which is that Ivanka participated in criminality and will she or won’t she throw the other Trumps under the bus.

Haven’t seen the right wing troll for a couple days and here you are SamB with all your different stupid names.

SamB – Your retort isn’t the clever clap-back you intended. When Mary Trump uses phrases like “…she’ll continue…” and “…he will stop…” she is, to use your synonym, “forecasting” future events, or “predicting”, to use Queerty’s original assertion.
It’s good that you’ve made friends with your “My Little Dictionary”. Unfortunately it has done nothing to bolster your comprehension.

LeB: These are the full quotes that’s you’re referencing: “She knows she has to come down on the right side of things. Or, she’ll continue to stay her father’s ally, and have to see how that plays out,” That is not a prediction because she is saying it’s this OR that.
Second: “She’s in a very bad situation because she must understand that if Donald feels it’s necessary, he will stop protecting her.” This too is not a prediction, because she’s saying if “this” then “that”. Again an analysis and not a prediction.
A prediction is, “She will be in jail in 30 days” which will be based on nothing.

Damn… I just got schooled. Touche!

I hope Ivanka ends up in prison alongside her coke’d out loser brother

She will turn on the Orange Blob. There’s zero doubt. You can tell she’s distanced herself already. Not that she’s anything but a criminal. But she will save herself.

I have nothing but the most profound admiration and respect for Mary – which is odd considering how I feel about the rest of the Trump family.

please…. your vapidness is showing

@succubus
Thank you for ALWAYS re-exposing that you’re another one of the right wing troll screenames.

Mary does KNOW her lunatic cousins…

Mary Trump has made a small fortune of $27 million off of trashing Donald Trump and his children. Thank goodness for Donald otherwise Mary would be little more than a Bag Lady in life.
Ivanka is happily married with a beautiful family and earns an honest living by taking the High Road and she is worth $800 million dollars. LOL!!!
