Judge lifts restraining order on Mary Trump on eve of book release

[CatWoman]

A New York judge on Monday lifted the temporary restraining order that had prevented Mary Trump from publicly discussing a tell-all book set to be released July 14 about her uncle, President Trump.

Why it matters:

Mary Trump, a trained psychologist, portrays the president as a dangerous sociopath and alleges in her book that Donald Trump's sister Maryanne had concerns about her brother's fitness for office, among other things.

The president's younger brother Robert Trump filed a lawsuit against their niece, the daughter of their deceased elder brother Fred Trump Jr., to prevent the tell-all book from being published.

However, the restraining order did not apply to publisher Simon & Schuster, which planned to go ahead with publication regardless of the lawsuit. The judge's decision will now allow Mary Trump to do interviews promoting the book.

1. I cannot WAIT to see her interviewed.

And I also cannot wait to see the Trump family's reaction to them. They are going to lose their shit.

2. Trump will not be happy.

Threatening any action towards his niece will amount to spupressing the 1st Amendment.

5. Great decision to read.

Not just the lifting of a temporary TRO, not just a loss to Robert Trump (ie, the Dumpster's beard), but a stinging loss to the Dumpster on every issue.
