Mary Trump Left A New Message for Donald Trump

 

BY KELLY BRAUN

Donald Trump has a long list of critics ranging from fellow politicians to international leaders, but he also doesn't have a fan in some of his family members. For years, the former president's niece, Mary Trump, has spoken out against her uncle's presidency, including in her New York Times bestselling book, Too Much and Never Enough. Mary's bombshell memoir, which was released in July 2020, details the "revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J. Trump and the toxic family that made him," according to the book's summary (via Simon & Schuster). In her own words, the trained clinical psychologist "shines a bright light on the dark history of their family in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the world's health, economic security, and social fabric."

The author's frustrations with her uncle became even more evident amid the 2020 election, as well as the events that led up to his loss to President Joe Biden, who was sworn in alongside Vice President Kamala Harris during the inauguration on Jan. 20, 2021. Following the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol just weeks earlier, Mary told CBS News that Donald should be "barred from ever running for public office again."

In addition to her book and public interviews, Mary has also been quite vocal on social media. In February 2021, she shared a new message for her uncle. Keep scrolling to find out Mary Trump's latest thoughts on Donald Trump. 

Mary Trump called for Donald Trump's conviction

 

Mary Trump hasn't been shy when it comes to sharing her true feelings about Donald Trump. Not only has she slammed what she calls her uncle's "tawdriness" personality and his "unfathomably dangerous" presidency (via The Guardian), she's also raised the alarm on why she believes he should face legal charges ahead of his second impeachment trial in the Senate. 

On Twitter, the businesswoman made her feelings clear while retweeting a message that said "Convict Trump" on Feb. 6, 2021. "This shouldn't even be in question, but we need to keep saying it until it happens," Mary proclaimed, while adding, "(Also, Donald)," alongside the Slightly Smiling Face emoji. Mary has been calling on Donald to be charged for his involvement in the deadly insurrection that claimed the lives of five people after pro-Trump supporters and white supremacists stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 (via ABC News). Following the unprecedented riots that took place two weeks before Donald transitioned out of his role as commander in chief, Mary explained why the 25th amendment should be invoked.

"This is not a time to deliberate. It's time to act quickly," she told the Observer (via The Guardian). "My uncle is unstable. He needs to be removed immediately." Mary echoed her sentiments while chatting with Business Insider, noting that Donald needed to be "impeached" right away. "If that doesn't happen, that is an abject failure of our system and it doesn't bode well for our very fragile, wounded democracy," she insisted.

When it came to who had the final word on what Donald Trump was feeling in his final hours as commander-in-chief, perhaps no one quite had an in-depth understanding of the former president's thoughts than his niece, author and psychologist Mary Trump.  

In a Jan. 19, 2021 interview with CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, the woman behind the Trump family tell-all Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man went on the record to both excoriate the uncle as well as ruminate on what was, in her words, she termed "the worst day of his life."

While many would guess that the Jan. 20, 2021 inauguration of President Joe Biden would be, in actuality, the worst day of Donald Trump's life, it seems that Mary Trump had other ideas. Read on after the jump to find out what Trump's niece opined what it would be. 

Mary Trump called Donald Trump's last day in office the 'worst day' of his life

 

During a Jan. 19, 2021 interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Mary Trump called Donald Trump's last day in office, and not President Joe Biden's inauguration, "the worst day of his life," after agreeing with Cooper that the now ex-president had finally become what he has always feared the most: "tacitly" a "loser."

"This is probably the worst day of his life because the clock is ticking, and he's running out of time,' said Mary of her uncle with regards to his final hours in the Oval Office. 

She also compared Trump's final speech to his supporters — which, pointedly, was not a concession speech — to remarks he made after the Jan. 6 riots at Capitol Hill, in which he called the right-wing insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol Building "very special" people whom he "love[s]" (via CNN). But that wasn't all she had to say on the matter.

According to Mary Trump, Donald Trump's penultimate address reminded her of his Jan. 6 remarks

 

In former President Donald Trump's next-to-last address, which was seemingly aimed more towards his supporters than towards the American public at large, per Politico, Trump claimed that his administration "did what we came here to do," which he posited as "[having] reasserted the sacred idea that in America, government answers to the people." He also stated that during his tenure in the White House, "we restored the idea that in America, no one is forgotten — because everyone matters and everyone has a voice." 

In response, Mary Trump told Anderson Cooper during her CNN interview that his speech was "reminiscent of one of the videos he made directly after the insurrection ... saying the movement is just beginning, which seems like a bit of a threat to me," referencing the remarks Trump made towards the insurrectionists in comparison with his penultimate words as president.

Mary Trump also remarked that his words served as a precursor to his possible future motives, saying that the ex-president, in her estimation, is "going to do whatever he can or believes he can to change the narrative [of his presidency]," and that despite it all, at least "he's out" of the White House. "[Donald Trump] no longer has the powers and protections of the Oval Office, and he knows it," Mary Trump concluded.  

Mary Trump said that the entire Trump family should be 'shunned'

 

Mary Trump's most recent remarks about the conclusion to Donald Trump's first (and possibly only) term in the Oval Office haven't been limited to her interview with Anderson Cooper — or, by virtue, to that of Donald Trump alone. The ex-president's niece said in a Jan. 18, 2021 appearance on the podcast MeidasTouch that not only Trump, but all of his children "need to be shut out" of the political sphere in its entirety.

 

"One of the reasons that I hate them so much is that we have to have conversations about them, which should be absurd. It should be a joke," Trump said, before launching into her explanation as to why she things that the younger generation of the Trump brood — and more specifically Ivanka Trump, who has been rumored to be considering pursuing a career in politics herself — should be barred, unofficially or not, for running for office. 

"It's not just Donald; all of his adult children need to be shut out, contained," Mary Trump continued. "They need to have all of their assets stripped away from them. It all needs to be burned down ... their brand needs to be totally destroyed even more than they've already destroyed it."
