Mary Trump has condemned her uncle, Donald Trump, for his role in stoking the rioting and lawless storming of the Capitol yesterday.
Interviewed by Katie Couric after yesterday’s event unfolded in Washington DC, Mary, a psychologist, did not hold back.
Asked for an opinion on what is going through the President’s head right now, and why he continues to cling to the narrative of the election being rigged, Mary replied: “The idea of losing is anathema to him.
“As far as my grandfather was concerned the worst thing you could be was a loser. And whenever Donald talks about how great he is he’s talking to his audience of one: my grandfather.
How about we take this to the next level?

“His father looms very large for Donald, and everything he does is out of fear, so throughout the course of his life he’s actually never won anything legitimately including the last election. But he’s always been able to buy cheat or steal his way to the win because it doesn’t matter how you win: it just matters that you win.
“He can’t do that this time around … he’s been cheating to steal this election since the summer by claiming that … it was rigged, by telling people not to trust the Post Office or mail … he’s still lost, which is one of the reasons he’s freaking out.
“He also knows what’s facing him once he loses the power and the protection of the Oval Office.”
She goes on to say several lawsuits await her uncle, which could include criminal charges and financial penalties, with banks chasing up huge debts.

She also says her uncle should not have been empowered to continually question the result of the election and should have been sidelined as soon as he lost in November. Instead, numerous Republicans have echoed the President’s disproven claims about election fraud.
She then went on to question the apparent lack of security that allowed the mob into the Capitol building – something she had raised on Twitter earlier.
Why are these fucking traitors not being held at gunpoint, handcuffed, and arrested?

“I don’t know for a fact, I don’t want to seem conspiratorial, but where was the police presence?” she asks Couric.
“We knew this was going to happen. We knew that his followers were going to descend upon DC. Hotels closed to avoid any conflict and yet a bunch of thugs a bunch of insurrectionists were essentially escorted into the capitol building to put our congresspeople at risk. It’s insane. How did this happen?”
Couric asks Mary how she sees her uncle, “getting out of this? How do you see him saving face? How do you see him accepting the fact that he will no longer inhabit 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?”
“He’s never going to accept it,” Mary responds. “We saw that today. He was called upon to calm things down to diffuse the situation and instead he continued lying.
“He continued making outrageous claims that are an assault on our democracy and because of him for the first time in our entire history, including during the civil war, there was not a peaceful transfer of power in the United States. One woman was killed. Several other people were injured and it’s all because when he had the opportunity to have things toned down he stoked the resentments of these people who felt perfectly comfortable smashing their way into our capital and desecrating it in the name of Donald John Trump.”
At the time of writing, four people are now confirmed dead following yesterday’s violence: The woman who was shot and three others from “medical emergencies,” according to the police.
Mary adds Vice President Mike Pence is now “absolutely” dead to the President after he refused to back him in not endorsing the electoral college ballot.
Finally, asked how she thinks her uncle was feeling, Mary said, “Donald is feeling, on the one hand, emboldened because they got away with it. I mean there were 13 arrests. I think a lot more people than that were wreaking havoc.
“On the other hand, he’s locked out of Twitter. I think that’s the same is true [for] Facebook. He’s probably more desperate than he’s ever been in his life, and I’m sorry to say this but short of Congress stepping in, impeaching and removing him, the next two weeks are going to be among the most dangerous in our country’s history and after today that’s actually really saying something.”

Last summer, Mary Trump published a family memoir entitled Too Much and Never Enough, recounting her family’s history of abuse and dysfunction. Donald Trump sued and failed to block the book’s release. It went on to sell over a million copies in its first week of publication.
In the tome, Mary details the homophobia within the family that forced her to stay in the closet and eventually distance herself from her relatives.

Were there any men in Trumps cabinet they would have all resigned yesterday. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio and the most hypocritical of them all. Both claim to despise Cuba’s current leadership but yet they are no different than their brethren down on the island and they know it. And by the way, where the hell is Mario?

Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz also love to condemn Venezuela, which is led by a horrible despot who refuses to allow legal elections, and yet they were groveling before a wannabe dictator, Don the Con, who is doing the exact same thing! The irony is so thick you’d need a diamond cutter to pierce it. And earlier last year, as Covid-19 began raging, the US looked almost as bad as Venezuela, which is infinitely poorer, despite the fact that the US is the richest country on earth.

Kangol2 – the United States IS the richest country on earth…. and the people you saw rioting yesterday are among the most spoiled, self-entitled, over-fed, braindead, decadent slobs on the face of the earth.
They don’t deserve America or the privilege of living in it. I am thrilled their pathetic little cri-de Coeur backfired so badly.
Reth
@whatsaywhat. Sorry, but, for my education, what metric are you using to determine that the US is the richest nation on Earth?

@Reth: GDP

This is what Rupert Murdoch, Fox News, and Putin have been pushing for, for a very long time. The Republican Party is now an anti-American, violent treasonous party based on conspiracy theories and a cult of personality.
Mitch McConell, Congressional Republicans, the Trump family, The Bush Family, and many in the media are all complicit in this.

Britian passed laws that basically forced Rupert out of there because of the illegal shit he was pulling to get stories and influence stories. We need to do that and get that pos out of here as well. He is malignant and should be shipped back to Australia like his criminal ancestors
Mister P
They should remove him from office with the 25th Amendment and make Biden president immediately. Arrest his ass and all the others who whipped this gullible crowd into a violent frenzy.
Kangol2
Pence would become president. I could deal with Pence in office for 13 days until the orderly transition to the next duly elected President, Joe Biden. But Don the Dangerous, Treasonous Con should be ousted immediately via 25th Amendment. He’s mentally incapacitated and has been derelict in his duties for months now. Just look at the still exploding Covid-19 disaster and the vaccine distribution debacle, both of which occurred on his non-watch.
Openminded
I definitely see Trump granting pardons to everyone who attacked the Capital building. He should be removed asap

Mary Trump knows her uncle Donnie to a “T”, she warned us he was dangerous and yesterday we saw him instigate his supporters to commit this violence, even saying he would be with them – “we” will go to the Capitol building.
Doug
I completely agree with her. Having been a psych. nurse for the last 32 years, the worst thing you can do to an incredibly narcissistic individual like this is to reject them. People are talking about invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment…. he’s already been locked out of Twitter and Facebook, and I think if either of those two things were to happen he would become even more vindictive than he is now. I say just keep him gagged from social media and let him finish out his last 13 days. It still amazes me that people didn’t recognize how unbalanced this man was during his 2016 campaign… it was all there in its full glory. I can’t help but worry that this man has the nuclear codes and we’re all in a very vulnerable place right now.
Phillip
I would agree with you if he didn’t still have the Nuclear Codes and want to get even with all of those people who he thinks went against him. As you well know that would be any person who doesn’t totally agree with him or tend to his needs.
Pence didn’t swing the certification over to him, therefore all of the loyalty Pence has shown him these past four years means nothing to a person who only thinks in the present on what you can do for him NOW. If you fail, then you must have always been disloyal. He used this crowd to reassure and feed his needy, insatiable ego. One never can.
Congress has two choices: a quick impeachment with everyone on board; or remove him with the 25th Amendment.

I honestly don’t think he’s that dangerous because, as of last night, I honestly don’t think he’s in power any longer. Not in anything but name only.
We’ve had our coup, but it was a very quiet, very sensible one. What, anybody thinks sensible people didn’t have plans for this? P’shaw. Somebody’s heavily drugged right now. And it’s not me. Although I wouldn’t mind. 🙂
barryaksarben
WTF are you as insane as trump is. He is still dangerous as he has the codes and he loves Putin so do the math. He will pardon even worse thugs and he will still be able to contact many of the worst of his supporters thru Rudy and others who are helping him undermine our country. Did you really say a “sensible” coup. That is NUTS
Liquid Silver
Yes, name-calling is completely convincing, thank you very much. The intellectual ability around here has really gone uphill in the last year or so, hasn’t it?
Prowelsh56
I do not think there is now any need to further dissect his personality. He is a psychopath. The next two weeks, will indeed, be very dangerous.
