One year after the insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, Mary Trump says she’s pretty sure her uncle, Donald J. Trump, is freaking out about the House committee investigating the terrorist attack he incited.
While speaking to MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell last night, Mary was asked about Liz Cheney announcing that the committee was “looking at” whether the ex-president’s “action or inaction constituted a crime.”

“I don’t want to overstate this, because we’ve seen Donald get away with so much, but even he, at this point, must be feeling the walls close in,” Mary, who, so far, has never been wrong in her predictions about her uncle, said. “If he has any sense, he would feel that way.”
She added that she feels the committee is doing “an extraordinary job of putting the pieces together.”
“There’s no doubt in my mind, if they are discussing making such a referral [to prosecutors at the Department of Justice], they have everything nailed down.”

During the interview, Mary also talked about her uncle’s statement addressing the anniversary of the deadly attack, when he said, “The Democrats want to own this day of January 6th so they can stoke fears and divide America. I say, let them have it because America sees through theirs lies and polarizations.”
“Almost everything Donald says recently is some form of projection or another, which suggests there is some level of knowledge about his own guilt here,” Mary noted, adding that his last minute decision to cancel a press conference at Mar-a-Lago that had been planned for Thursday was also “significant.”
“It sort of reminds me of the circumstances that led to his video last year that clearly he did not want to make,” she explained. “Somebody managed to convinced him that he had serious legal liability and he did not have a choice, which is why, in part, I’m guessing he canceled today.”

In a separate appearance on SiriusXM’s “The Dean Obeidallah Show”, Mary said she thought her uncle didn’t intervene to stop the violence sooner because he was “getting off on it.”
“We know his daughter Ivanka went in at least twice to ask him to please stop this violence. Obviously he didn’t do that. Any of this surprise you?” Obeidallah asked.
“No, and what’s sort of eerie is that I thought we already knew that,” she replied. “Like, I had a picture in my head because it makes perfect sense. Of course, that’s what he was doing! He was getting off on it. And there was no way he was going to stop anything because he was enjoying it too much, and he probably wanted it to get worse.”

Mary added that she’s fairly certain Trump had absolutely “no interest” in telling the MAGA militia to stand down, which is why it took him more than an hour after the violence broke out to do so.
“They realized that they needed Donald to tell them to stand down, which he had no interest in doing because he probably thought, one, that it was fun to watch all these people being murderous on his behalf. But two, that it would be the best way for him to stay in power.”

“Mary, who, so far, has never been wrong in her predictions about her uncle..” What predictions exactly?
Cam
Right wing troll account switches from it’s Hank31 screename to it’s SamB name to whine and complain about any mentions of Trump, his lies, his supporting domestic terrorism and his anti-LGBTQ bigotry.
woodroad34
SamB is correct. The author used a poor choice of words in writing “Predictions”. Mary was actually giving an “analysis” and SamB pointed out that the author’s editor needed to do a better job at proofreading. I don’t think SamB was knee-jerking a reaction to the name “Trump”.
Mack
@cam, and woodroad34 is another one of SamB and Hank31 handle. Just another right wing troll.

SamB:
I’ve read that Mary Trump has been totally ostracized by the Trump family, and I think she has sour grapes because she has very little money and is the poorest relative within the clan. Her only claim to fame is her familial proximity to Dumb Donald and her cousins. Without them, she’s a nobody.

I’m sure there are many predictions and certainly the writer could have used “assessments” or “appraisals,” but didn’t Dr. Mary Trump predict that her fascist uncle Don the Con would lose and not accept his loss? She essentially predicted that he would act out and attempt a coup. Why did no one believe her or pay attention to what she was saying?
Cam
@James Hart
LOL!!!! It doesn’t matter how many times the pathetic right wing troll account gets busted for switching screenames and coming back to support it’s own comments. It keeps right on doing it.
Oh, and by the way, looks like Trump and his siblings stole a bunch of Mary’s inheritance, and her case is not only moving forward, but her book outsold Donald’s so far by over a quarter million copies.
Every time you try to lie about the Trumps it’s a fun opportunity for me to correct your lie and point out how truly pathetic Donald and his children are.
SamB
James Hart: I think you’re right. She and her brother sold their interest in the Trump business, and are now claiming that they were pressured to do by having the family medical insurance trust that Fred Trump set up for the family.
I’m sure they had lawyers so why not go after the lawyers at this point too?
Another sticking point for Mary and her brother was being “disinherited” by their grandfather. Their father, Fred2, died in 1988 and Fred didn’t update the will, allegedly, so there was nothing for them to inherit.
Either way I’m sure she’s not suffering for money, and she had no problem using the family name when she set up her life-coaching business called, “The Trump Coaching Group”.

James Hart- I had to laugh at your comments about Mary being a nobody without Donald. Got news for you, Donald is way, way worse than a nobody………he would have to aspire to be a nobody instead of a treasonous, defeated president. History will be brutal when the books are written.

@jameshart Mary had a bestselling book that netted her a few million $$. I don’t think she’s starving.

It makes me smile to think how much the Marginally Sentient Spray Tan (aka, The Traffic Cone of Treason) must be enjoying having a niece, whom he’s cheated out of substantial sums and who happens to be a therapist, express herself to so much acknowledgement and recognition.
I think Mary would be great on The View.

Trump should be worried he personally incited this insurrection and did nothing, other than watch it unfold on TV, replaying it several times according to sources and enjoyed the whole spectacle before he was finally convinced to try and halt it AFTER the damage was done.

Don’t forget, he also attempted to manipulate the election results–run by Republicans, no less–in the state of Georgia, and to their credit the Republicans not only stood firm against his criminal, fascist attempts but Brad Raffensberger or a staff member recorded Don the Con trying to overturn a legitimate election in his own favor. According to reports I’ve seen he may have tried to do this with one or more other states. So he’s criminally involved not only in the attempted January 6, 2021 coup, but in other attempts to manipulate state elections. And believe me, if any Democrat were caught doing crap like this, they’d be on trial faster than you could say Bill Clinton!
WSnyder
I wanna see the videos Trump recorded prior to this one that got rejected by the WH because he kept going off script. Some where reported so bad that WH officials where fearful if aired would make the situation in the Capitol worse and they and Trump would get arrested. These reported recordings are part of the reason Trump is fighting so hard to keep his Presidential records in the Nat’l Archives away from the Jan 6th Committee..

Isn’t it something that the only sane Trump is the out gay one. Go Mary.

Mary’s a lesbian? Well…that explains why she’s so angry and unattractive.

Why are you on here? You realize this is a gay website. If you don’t care for it, then leave and go back to Faux News site. Unless you’re a GQP troll bored in the trailer park

@ James heart you shouldn’t throw bricks in glass houses James. From your comments you seem to be a very angry and ugly person yourself.

And I’m sure Mary Trump couldn’t get a date to save her dang life. WOOF! Woman needs to take a hard, yet quick look in the mirror (don’t want to break the mirror) before she starts running her mouth. It’s amazing how much rope this community will give the democrats and yet still love them like their Hugh Jackman naked. Don’t forget the democrats were not there for you when everyone was dying from AIDS. it’s convenient when we forget, or ignore, the past.

well aren’t you just the dumbest thing ever???

Here we have a Trump relative who has no relationship with the Donald Trump family making statement as to how former President Trump is worried about the January 6 uprising and his so called involvement. The insurrection began prior to the Trump rally, not after it. Yes, many of those at the Trump rally proceeded to the Capital but at no time did he encourage them to take it over. If any thing encouraged them to protest the results of the election in which its results were very questionable resulting in numerous investigations some f which revealed serious voter fraud and irregularities. The Democrats opposed the opening of each and every investigation which indicates they had something to hide. What a perfect idea to alter the outcome of an election. The mailing out of unrequested Mail in Ballots and then the inability to verify the signatures attached. Added to this unsecured drop off boxes that could have been tampered with. I’m 77 years old. i remember the 1952 Presidential Election where Eishehower defeated Stevenson. We learned the outcome the next day. Come 2020, 68 years later and it took over a week for us to learn the final outcome. In 1952 every ballot was counted by hand, in 2020 we have computers. History will show how this past election was riddled with voter fraud. Lastly let me point out that former President Trump did not admit defeat. For four years Hillary Clinton and the Democrats could not admit President Trump had won the election three times filing Articles of Impeachment, the first being fifteen minutes after he was sworn in.

He has to be held accountable for some of his crimes ??? why can he get away with what he does for his norm
