Mary Trump explains how former president will throw his kids under the bus

[Soph0571]

Cuomo began the interview by asking Mary Trump if her uncle would "take one for his kids" if they were investigated by prosecutors focused on criminal activity in the Trump Organization -- where both Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump are still on the payroll.

"No, he wouldn't...I think if that were to happen, if prosecutors were to go after his children, he would fully expect them to take a hit for him, to benefit him. What he probably doesn't understand is that's not really how it works. [Prosecutors] "always try to get people to flip so they can go after the bigger target," said Mary Trump.

"But Donald would never imagine in a million years that his children would do that, although I'm fairly sure they would," the former president's niece added. "So if that indeed happens, it's going to be fascinating because he would never do anything to protect them if it were at his expense."

Emphasis mine

As the legal sharks circle the Trump kids must know that they are at real risk and that unlike the average father out there, there is no sacrifice however small he would make to save his kids over himself. No way would he admit wrongdoing to ensure his kids were not gone after.

Wonder who is going to break first...

1. Nothing is going to happen to MF45

unless Allen Weisselberg flips, or to put it correctly, tells the truth.

[SergeStorms]

2. I think Don Jr. would crack first.

For all his false bravado, he's a weakling, just like his Daddy Dearest. Eric would fold up like a two-legged card table as well. I think Jared and his Barbie doll would distance themselves from the whole thing. They don't have to rely on Donnie's money, because they have Jared's father's money.

16. They've got a lot on Ivanka though

The NY state and the feds are both targeting Ivanka and I'm sure they're finding a lot. She hasn't been particularly smart in the way she has conducted her business, none of them have. They've always assumed that Daddy's name will be their Get Out of Jail Free card.

I agree that Don Jr. will probably be the first to crack. Seems like he's just a loose cannon, and that girlfriend will sing like a canary too.

[Retrograde]

18. And Little Miss Plastic will simper

and cry phony tears and go on and on about how she was just on the sidelines and she's being targeted because she's a woman and everyone is just jealous and she's never actually made a decision on her own....

[drmeow]

27. on the other hand

Jared knows what being in jail is like from his father and doesn't really owe Trump a thing. We'll see how much he loves his wife!

3. When MF45 laundered money

his kids names were on the various projects, like the MF45 tower in Azerbaijan, Ivanka's name was on that tower that never opened but did launder money for the Iranian Republican Guard.

[tanyev]

4. And Miss 'I don't know what Allen Weisselberg's title is' will be so, so surprised to learn that.

She might want to use her time right now to take some acting lessons.

[multigraincracker]

5. I would hope they turn into Michael Cohens and

do a 180 on him with zeal.

tRump's new tv show....Family Feud.

[mgardener]

6. Does anyone believe

That his children would take a hit for him?
I believe they are as self-centered as he is.

[Joinfortmill]

7. Ivanka

[Bettie]

8. I suspect she will turn on him and everyone else

and tearfully declare over and over that she was a victim of their various machinations.

[NJCher]

9. maybe she will claim abuse

it works in certain cases.

[robbob]

22. Judging by some of the photos of daddy's little girl that are out there

I think she might have a case.

[NJCher]

28. yep

I don't think she'd have a hard time with that plea at all.

[Blue Owl]

25. I bet there would be an indecent proposal in Ivanka's case

As for Gums and Junior -- fuck 'em...

[Harker]

10. For all of the self serving unanimity, there is corresponding

resentment.

Self preservation will dictate the course of events.

[Jon King]

11. Mary Trump really has no more insight than any of us.

We get it, the family dynamic has been well laid out for decades. Any of us can speculate and probably be pretty close to the truth at this point. Then she goes into explaining how prosecutions work, which she would have zero expertise on at all.

How would she know anymore than anyone else what his 'children would do'. She hasn't had contact with them in decades and likely even back then they never traveled in the same circles.

At this point she has become tiresome and needs to go live her life. Just one more Trump taking up oxygen in the news.

[North Shore Chicago]

12. Unnecessarily harsh.

[gab13by13]

14. She knows that MF45 cheated her, allegedly cheated her.

[Phoenix61]

13. She's a clinical psychologist and has ample information

with which to make a determination on how they will act. FBI crime scene analysts, commonly referred to as profilers, have much less data and are able to determine someone’s actions amazingly well.

[PortTack]

15. Disagree..she's a psychologist and althou no longer has contact she saw first hand how he

Manipulated and used his family

She has been spot on in what she has said regarding her uncle and his family

[Ilsa]

21. Some leopards never change their spots.

Needy Amin is too self-absorbed to even want to overcome narcissism. He is who he always has been. I would trust both MT's knowledge and speculation about him.

[FakeNoose]

23. Mary Trump is involved in the legal proceedings

... not only in her own lawsuit against the family (namely Donald) for having cheated her and her brother of their rightful share of inheritance, but also her testimony as a professional licensed psychologist.

You're being rather cruel and heartless, as well as incorrect. Mary has been in contact with her cousins frequently, and contact with her uncle Donald less frequently, until a few years ago. Case in point: when he became President 5 years ago, Mary was included in the Trump family dinner held at the White House.

[Deminpenn]

17. Michael Cohen has said during one of his MSNBC interviews

that he believes Trump will be the first one to throw everyone under the bus, including the kids.

[lunatica]

19. His kids can threaten to turn State's Evidence on him

After all he’s taught them well. So then he’ll continue to protect them. But in the end they might throw him under the bus.

[spanone]

20. He'll throw the entire country under the bus.

[DBoon]

26. He already has

We have 600,000 dead for his efforts

[LetMyPeopleVote]

24. The former guy has no loyalty to anyone including his offspring
