Mary Trump ripped her uncle, Donald Trump, firing off a fusillade of criticism in her latest Substack email where she lays out why she believes this hush-money trial that began Monday will be an enormous legal and emotional disaster for him.
“No doubt donald feels as though he’s being singled out for extraordinary punishment, but that’s because he has so rarely been in a situation in which he has no control over either the narrative or the proceedings,” Mary Writes. “because this is a criminal trial, he will have virtually no say about anything that happens inside that courtroom and, indeed, over anything that happens inside that courtroom and, indeed, over anything that happens inside that courtroom and, indeed, over anything that happens to him if he steps outside the lines that judge merchan draws.”
Indeed, Trump has already had his hands slapped a few times by the good judge and Mary tells us that “Donald doesn’t handle it well when he feels like the walls are closing in on him. He freaks out — and acts out — when he feels thwarted because he so rarely ever has been. We’re looking at a very old and fairly complex psychology that goes back to his childhood. The crows finally coming home to roost when he’s in his late 70s is something that he’s not going to be able to manage.”
That just delights me to no end. I can’t think of anyone who deserves this more than her dear old uncle. He’s riven the country apart, told endless lies, practically turned the U.S. into 1930s Germany, and really just hurt so many innocent people for no good reason whatsoever. Oh, and done The Stepford Wives one better by creating Stepford supporters.
And, per Raw Story, Mary notes Trump was put in an awkward and humiliating spot Tuesday as he was forced to listen to and watch an endless stream of social media content that was critical of him, as the jury selection process wore on.
But Mary Trump thinks Donald’s biggest freak out may come as a result of the complete lack of control he’ll feel as all the facts are revealed in a case that could very well land him in prison.
“We’re going to be seeing Donald Trump in a unique context for which he is totally unprepared,” she writes. “At a rally or at a press conference, he controls the room. he is determining the narrative, and any gaps or ramblings can be put down to the fact that he’s riffing or being extemporaneous or doing improv.”
Too bad one heck of a lot of us never found him particularly funny. It’s encouraging to know he may soon be doing standup in an orange jumpsuit. I think that will suit him well,
Did we have a little fun with the ctrl-v function there Megan? lol
The social media stuff likely put a bee in his bonnet but the late night folks have been having a field day ridiculing him and that has to burning him bad what with millions of people watching the programs at night and/or seeing the host monologues on youtube. They have had me laughing. Don’t know who Kimmel has for writers, Colbert and Meyers also, but they are very good.
It’s completely out of his control. Next Monday his bond application in the fraud case will be reviewed by Judge Engoron, and it looks like that won’t go well. Hankey’s insurance firm doesn’t have the liquidity to back up their $175 million bond pledge. The interesting thing is, KSI revealed that the collateral they demanded from trump was a Schwab account he holds that has $175 million in cash or cash-equivalent investments, which James could go after when their bond is rejected. So, in these trials trump is being stripped naked both personally and financially and the sight is going to shock even his most ardent supporters.
Everytime a nazi falls an angel gets their wings!
“he will have virtually no say about anything that happens inside that courtroom and, indeed, over anything that happens inside that courtroom and, indeed, over anything that happens inside that courtroom … ”
Brilliant use of the rhetorical devices of epizeuxis (aka palilogia) and tricolonic structure to emphasize the fact that it is up to the judge, and the law — not Donald Trump — to determine what happens inside that courtroom.
He pees / poops / farts and all that normal people do. That’s what he is just a common man. (Not so common though due to his narcissism, psychopathy, xenophobia, mysoginy, sexual predation.) The point is – he’s a big nothing just like the one juror stated.
