Mary Trump DOES know her uncle

While she acknowledges that Donald Trump’s kids could probably find success in GOP politics based on their parentage alone, Mary Trump predicts that any attempt by her cousins to run for office in the wake of an electoral defeat for their father would be “considered something of a joke” by the majority of Americans.

But she fears that should her uncle prevail over Joe Biden this November, Americans will not be able to choose whether they want to further empower his children.

“I think if somehow Joe Biden doesn’t win in November, then I think it all becomes a moot point because we’re going to be operating in a completely different system – we’re going to be dealing with a party… and somebody in the Oval Office who is totally unfettered,” she says. “Donald in particular will feel he has to answer to nobody.” Under such circumstances, Mary Trump agrees with the suggestion that it wouldn’t be a stretch for her uncle to feel that he would be free to ask Mike Pence, the vice president, for his resignation, then proceed to browbeat the Congress into approving his daughter as the new vice president. And because she believes he has no qualms about cheating to win re-election – and is engaging in it right now by calling the legitimacy of mail-in voting into question and ordering the post office to slow down mail – she says Democrats need to make sure they win in a landslide so massive as to be unquestionable.

“If Joe Biden wins, his margin has to be enormous. It has to be so big that practically nobody other than the 22 per cent to 28 per cent of people who won’t question anything Donald does – and even somebody like Mitch McConnell – isn’t going to be able to claim that it wasn’t a clean victory,” she explains, adding that a “huge and crushing” loss will cause the president to be “so narcissistically injured that he’ll have to get away from it just to protect himself from acknowledging it”.

If that happens, she predicts that the president is far more likely to react by claiming that he’s the best thing that ever happened to the country but because ungrateful voters don’t appreciate him as their president, he will instead “do something really important, like take over [pro-Trump One America News] or something”. She reiterates that it was unlikely that he would do anything outrageous – such as claim that he is still the rightful president after Biden takes office in January – if he receives an overwhelming and undeniable rebuke from voters.

“He’s miserable now, and I’m guessing he knows it’s a very good possibility that if he loses, he gets prosecuted, so I don’t think he’s interested in staying around for the sake of being around.”

When asked if Donald Trump would flee to one of his international properties to avoid prosecution, she says such a possibility would be “freaky” because her uncle is “so provincial”.

“But on the other hand, he almost never goes outside, so what difference does it make where he lives?”
